K (DE)MÝTIZÁCII PRIESTORU V PONOVEMBROVEJ SLOVENSKEJ PRÓZE
ON (DE)MYTIZATION OF SPACE IN SLOVAK PROSE AFTER NOVEMBER 1989

Summary/Abstract: In her paper M. Součková denies a generally accepted myth concerning Slovak literature as rural or idyllic-natural and she accents the value transformation in depicting village and town space, the exterior and interior. Through individual prosaic works of authors entering the literature after 1989 M. Součková describes mythization of Eastern Slovakia and village region (václav Pankovčín), topos of disapperaring place (Monika Kompaníková) or wiping the borders between reality and ireality (Jana Bodnárová) and demythicization of village but also town (Peter Pišťanek, Balla, Márius Kopcsay, Jana Beňová). she concludes that the contemporary authors describe the space using negative attributes and give up looking for their place or mythical sense of existence.
