Tatarkova autobiografická ikonografia (Navrávačky)
Tatarka’s autobiographical iconography (Navrávačky)

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the analysis of autobiographical intentions in Dominik Tatarka’s work Navrávačky. The author’s autobiographical approach is decrypted in the Nietzschean context as the subject’s self-realization strategy based on the principle of fixation and elaboration. The Carpathian shepherd concept, which is a result of the interference between fixation and elaboration principle, is based on the autobiographical semantic concentration and re-direction of the experienced events. However, by activating mythological schemes, it creates an opportunity to transform the author’s pragmatic image into an icon.
