The article takes a look at four literary texts and analyses them from the perspective of literary flaneurship. In doing so, the study accentuates the category of subject and space of the city from the point of view of their mutually given constitution and the parameters of media fixation of the flaneur act. Textual analysis is based on the understanding of flaneurship as a way of reorganising of the objective city space. The article looks at Ján Rozner’s autobiographical novels Sedem dní do pohrebu ([Seven days to the funeral] 2009) and Noc po fronte ([Night after the front] 2010) in the context of textual creation of Bratislava as a palimpsest, uncovering layers of city’s history in the intersection between personal memory and history. Stanislav Rakús’ novel Temporálne poznámky ([Temporal notes] 1993) is read primarily through the prism of literary flaneurship seen as a way of resisting disciplinary mechanisms of totalitarian power attempting at utilitarian structuration of space and time. The analysis of Peter Macsovszky’s Mykať kostlivcami ([Making skeletons dance] 2010) accentuates the intertextual handling of the space.

he article deals with reading of Walter Benjamin’s works focused on new media. The article puts specific emphasis on the notions of ‘aura’ and ‘flaneur,’ two well-known themes in Benjamin´s scholarship. The article argues for the inseparability of old and new, modern and postmodern theory of media and illustrates their close connections in Benjamin’s texts. The author presents a sceptical view of the idea that the advent of digital new media is connected by necessity to a major historical break. He concludes that Benjamin’s theory of new media is highly useful for describing and understanding the current new media communication and subjectivity.

The article analyses the image of Bratislava in the 1936 ethnographic-literary travelogue Columbus in der Slowakei [Columbus in Slovakia] by the Austrian author Leopold Wolfgang Rochowanski (1888 – 1961). Drawing on Paul Rodaway’s sensuous geographies, the article takes a look at how Rochowanski connects the flaneur’s view of the city with sensual perception, especially taste, sound and vision and constructs the “city’s specific tone” – a unique flavour of Bratislava. Flaneur’s view determines both the elements from which the image of the city is composed (cafés, wine bars, restaurants) and the fragmentary narrative techniques that combine anecdotes, legends, stories and musings of the narrator with historical-ethnographic discourse. Rochowanski accentuates cultural and linguistic heterogeneity of the place and in doing so semantically opens Bratislava’s urban text. As the result of period political context, however, he also ignores or marginalises some of the semantic layers of the city (portrayal of Jews) and in effect reduces the urban text. Rochowanski portrays Bratislava as a space of imagination coded in a complex way. From the point of view of perception, this prevents the separation of material and non-material (imaginary) layers of the urban palimpsest.
