Dlouhé trocheje v české poezii

This article presents an overview and an explication of long-trochaic verse in Czech poetry, particularly of the nineteenth century. It seeks to supplement Miroslav Červenka´s explication of Czech syllabotonic verse from Kapitoly o českém verši [Chapters on Czech verse], which Červenka was unable to finish. The author takes advantage of material which had been elaborated for international researchers working on Slavic verse, but in many respects has been expanded by other collections of work. Long-trochaic verse is explored here from the point of view of its inner structure and the history of literature. In the National Revival, trochaic pentameter was the meter employed most frequently after trochaic tetrameter; it was the high-style meter trating serious topics, but from the second half of the nineteenth century onwards it began to lose its status. What was fundamental to trochaic hexameter was whether or not it kept to the rule that it was divided into two symmetrical units in a line. During the National Revival it was used a great deal, particularly in celebratory and reflective verse and in translations. It appears later in most epic verse and lyrical-narrative verse, and often also in polymetric verse. Trochaic heptameter occurs least frequently in Czech verse, and usually in combination with other metrical forms (trochaic pentameter and hexameter). Trochaic octameter from Milota Zdirad Polák´s Vznešenost přírody (1819) was used for the portrayal of natural phenomena or in pathos-filled meditations. Twentieth-century authors were no longer interested in this meter, because for them free verse had become an alternative to long metrical line.

This essay is concerned with the generative description of the metric norm of Czech syllabotonic verse explicated in Miroslav Červenka´s Kapitoly o českém verši (Chapters on Czech verse, 2006). On the basis of linguistic predeterminants of the occurrences of certain rhythmic configurations, the author takes issue with some conceptual points of the generative description, and endeavours to simplify the model for a computer analysis of verse lines.

This essay examines the neglected problem of authorship in relation to the Czech forged Manuscripts (RKZ). Both the moral perspective of the Battle of the Manuscripts and the implied collective authorship of the folkloric texts of the Manuscripts made problematic any connections between an individual author and the Manuscripts. Drawing on recent re-examinations of forged literature in British literary studies, the present author explores the motives and the Romantic context of the Czech author-forger(s). He argues that forgery was an integral form of authorship in the Romantic period, very much a part of the changing landscape of literary institutions, even as emerging Romantic categories such as originality and authenticity made forgery a potentially condemnable practice.

This study summarizes various forms of conceptualization of the early postwar avant-garde. It examines how understanding of the terms “expressionist” and “avant-garde” has changed along with considerations over Literární skupina and Devětsil. The study followed changes in the relationship between expressionism and the avant-garde over three stages: the period in which Literární skupina and Devětsil emerged, followed by literary historical reflections on this process during the 1960s and 1970s, and then briefly in contemporary research into the early postwar avant -garde. These reflections are dominated by the view that these two groupings were mutually antagonistic and Literární skupina is seen as distinct from the avant-garde due to its expressionism. Conclusions from theoretical discourse on writings about the avant-garde have been applied in relation to the prose works of both Literární skupina and Devětsil members from approximately 1919 to 1923. In a comparison of texts, important similarities have been found in the imagery, the motif -theme index and the way the texts were created, revealing the need to critically evaluate the way the terms “expressionist” and “avant-garde” are handled as binary opposites. The study suggests that these terms be abandoned when artistic works are being interpreted, and that the term avant-garde be expanded to include Literární skupina, thus supporting the idea of the avant-garde as a heterogeneous, diversified field, in which expressionism emerges as just one of the options.

Studie shrnuje různé podoby konceptualizace rané poválečné avantgardy. Zkoumá, jak se proměňovalo chápání atributů „expresionistické“ a „avantgardní“ v souvislosti s uvažováním o Literární skupině a Devětsilu. Proměny vztahu expresionismu a avantgardy jsme sledovali ve třech fázích: v období vzniku Literární skupiny a Devětsilu, dále v literárněhistorické reflexi tohoto procesu v šedesátých a sedmdesátých letech a stručně v současném výzkumu rané poválečné avantgardy. V těchto reflexích převažuje pohled na obě uskupení jako antagonistická a Literární skupina je pro její expresionismus tzv. vydělena z avantgardy. Závěry z teoretického diskurzu psaní o avantgardě byly vztaženy do souvislosti s prózou členů Devětsilu a Literární skupiny zhruba v období mezi lety 1919–1923. V komparaci textů se ukázaly významné shody v obraznosti, v motivicko-tematickém rejstříku a ve způsobu utváření textů, které odkrývají potřebu kritického zhodnocení zacházení s atributy expresionistický a avantgardní jako s binárními protiklady. Ve studii navrhujeme odstoupení od těchto atributů při interpretaci uměleckých děl a rozšíření pojmu avantgarda na Literární skupinu. Tímto podpoříme představu avantgardy jakožto heterogenního, rozrůzněného pole, ve kterém expresionismus vystupuje jako jedna z možností avantgardy.

This essay provides a summary of the Romany language in the Czech Republic today with regard to its defining historical contexts. It examines stereotypical Czech attitudes towards this language and their influence on the understanding their own language and its prestige amongst Romany speakers. It also examines a Romany ethnolect and aspects of multilingualism in Romany speakers and analyzes thhe motives for switching codes. The author then contrasts the perception of Romany amongst Roma people writers and their part in current efforts to achieve a 'reversing language shift' . The very use of Romany as a literary language appears as a politically loaded, legitimizing act. At the same time, Romany authors ascribe an almost sacred nature to the Romany language. In their writing, the communal language emblematizes Romanyhood itself or positive traits and the potential of their exclusively Romany commonwealth. The author considers how works by Vladislav Haluška, Ilona Ferková, and Irena Eliášová exploit multilinugalism. She regards the use of Czech in Romany as an incursion by an alien force. in Czech-language works, Romany expressions help to create the setting of the narrative in the 'Romany world'. Questions of intercultural encounters, differences, and potentials for understanding can thus be studied not only theoretically, but also in the specific works of these writers.

Masky touhy : Úvaha ajvazovská

72%
EN
The interpretational study "Masks of Desire" is based on the novel by Michal Ajvaz - Cesta na jih [Journey to the South] although its line of argument takes considerable account of the author´s entire fictional and theoretical output to date, as the connection both between individual fictional texts and between them and the theoretical texts is very close and evident here. First the study casts doubt on the classification of Michal Ajvaz´s work as postmodernist, as this only applies - as in the case of other "labels" (magic Prague literature, magical realism) that have been stuck on Ajvaz´s work - on the basis of superficial similarities. This study does not refute the association with formal principles of discourse that is designated postmodern, but it does stress that Ajvaz´s work departs intellectually from such discourse, while referring at the same time to the author´s repeated polemics with postmodernism at the level of theoretical considerations. Attention is also focused on the concept of the "total void", the intertextual and self-reflective aspect of the author´s work, the relationship to myth or the motif of desire and the specific conception of the erotic.

Konec velkého projektu

The work Počátkové českého básnictví, obzvláště prozódie (The principles of Czech verse, with special reference to prosody, 1818) by Pavel Josef Šafařík (1795-1861) and František Palacký (1798-1876) (and Jan Blahoslav Benedikti [1796-1847]) and its influence on early-nineteenth discussions about the character of Czech verse have till now usually been considered in the context of Czech (and Slovak) literature. By contrast, this article, after a characterization of the work, considers its relation to the German concepts of prosody and meter (Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, Gottfried Hermann, and Johann August Apel), and also to Josef Jungmann´s (1773-1847) no-longer extant Nepředsudné mínění o prozódii české (An impartial opinion on Czech prosody, 1804). This article explores Šafařík and Palacký´s treatment of those relationships. Although the authors of Počátové turned it only selectively, Hermann´s work appears to have been an important intellectual basis for Šafařík and Palacký´s endeavour to develop a complex delineation of modern Czech verse, which had much in common with the principles of music. In its conclusions, the article thus follows on from Miroslav Červenka´s later ideas that it would be useful to study the history of Czech verse in its European context, without detracting from what made Czech verse special.

2_Through the close analysis of Prokůpek´s fiction, his correspondence and preceding interpretations of both the man and his work, this article serves as one model for how this historical polarization might finally be overcome. In his fiction, Prokůpek never strays from the perspective and problems of the struggling Czech farmer, and the central contention of this article is that Prokůpek´s work, his response to the Occupation and to the post-1948 government is best understood as both a defence and an active realization of the farmer´s approach to life.

3_The final study defends references to the specific nature of the work of art, as found e.g. in Czech structuralism, against levelling tendencies in present-day culturology. Works of art and their interpretation may effectively contend with conventional stereotypes that impoverish man and his culture.

This study analyses the key poetological and typological aspects of Ján Kollár´s autobiography Pamäti z mladších rokov života. The first part analyses the external impulses behind the creation of the text and hence the period genre discourse structure in order to point out its specific (initiation) status. Works that may have acted as an inspiration for Kollár as he drafted his text are also the subject of analysis and comparison. The second part of the study focuses on a detailed analysis of individual epic levels of Pamäti, with a foregrounded Slavonic ethnicity creation process and its key constitutive factors and symbols. The second prominent aspect is the reflection of the aesthetic category in the text of the autobiography in association with its formal (syntactic and stylistic) and content-based components. The study centres around an analysis of the category of the characters, one of the most important elements in the autobiography (taking into account the psychological elaborateness and the episodic nature of the individual characters). This chapter is also partially focused on the self-identification of the autobiographical subject and the problem of forming relations with those around (social communication). The final part of the study comprises a compositional and genological characterization of the work.

This article seeks to clarify aspects of unreliable narration, using the example of Daniela Hodrová´s novel Podobojí (In Both Kinds, 1991). The author recapitulates the shift in his own conception of the narrator, originally presented in 'Typology of the narrator: point of view in fiction' (1967) and Narrative modes in Czech literature (1973), respectively. Rejecting the notion of personalized narrator, the author accepts Tomáš Kubíček (Vypravěč, 2007) conception of the narrator as 'textual strategy'. The advantages of this conception most clearly appear in the analysis of modern and postmodern narratives which resist the anthropomorphization of the narator. The unreliable narration appears in several forms, but its most palpable manifestation is the creation ot logically impossible fiction worlds. The fictional world of Podobojí, which is probably the first fictional world of this kind discovered in Czech fiction, is logically impossibble for it contains or implies logical contradictions. Most visible of them is the neutralization of the opposites 'living' and 'dead' in the fictional entity 'the undead'. The logically impossible fictional world can be imagined, but cannot be textually authenticated, so the authoress of Podobojí employs various masking strategies, especially the devices of the mythological world creation. The construction of the logically impossible world is reinforced by the disintegration of narrative time, the fragmentation of texture and by the fusion of the narrator´s and the character´s plans.
