Promimetická promluva
Pro-mimetic speech

Summary/Abstract: Literature is a construction, and the reader who knows this willingly submits to the illusion, or the “effect of fiction”, because he feels the need to enter another world. Ever since Plato and Aristotle we have been in an undecided state regarding mimetism, between the apparent and the hidden, the real and the possible. “The individual is not without a world” (Patočka), the present situation is realized in an overall situation. Interest in our own being in the world leads us to go beyond this world. Readers also take advantage of this opportunity to create other worlds, to experience the gap between the material and the structure, the statement and the performance, the real and the possible. This gap and tension is perceived as a starting point for interpretation. Literature is motivation for a game of life and literature — it is not just the work of convention and the unseen hand of the system.
