MEZI REALITOU A LITERÁRNÍ FIKCÍ: PROSTOROVÉ KONFIGURACE V LITERÁRNÍM DÍLE (NA PŘÍKLADU VYBRANÝCH POVÍDKOVÝCH SOUBORÙ JANA ČEPA)
BETWEEN REALITY AND FICTION: THE SPATIAL CONFIGURATION IN THE LITERARY WORK (ON SELECTED SHORT STORIES BY JAN ČEP)

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author considers the problem of fictional and real spaces, primarily discussing the question of why readers commonly translate chosen fictional entities into a real environment. The methodological basis, inspired by structural poetics, provides two opposite modes: the first, called economy of discourse, suggests that there is no reason for two identical reference meanings; the other, called economy of reception, suggests the meaning reduction from the fictional basis to the real one. The author examines this counterpart (real and fictional space) in selected Čep’s novels and concentrates on the space as a fictional narrative category.He claims that this class in Èep’s novels is created through specific structural and semantic rules, and the comparison of the fictional space with the real environment is a result of the receptionist’s transformation. In the end of the study, the author reflects on some other theoretical views on this problem, which support his approach.
