- Keywords:Peter Jilemnický; Victorious Fall; poetism; the DAV group; lyricism;
- Summary/Abstract:Victorious Fall (1929) is the first novel by the Czech-born Slovak author Petr Jilemnický (1901–1949). The novel reflects the motives of "misery" and "beauty" of Kysuce. Literary historiography perceives novel in regard to Expressionism (J. Števček, 1983) and Lyricism (F. Miko, 1969; J. Števček, 1973). The paper points to the distinct metaphorical, imaginative nature and semantic ambiguity of the novel. Despite the criticisms of the DAV group, Peter Jilemnický was a member of the group, Victorious Fall features many stylistic and expressive principles related to the aesthetics of the Czech avantgarde program Poetism. The novel represents a contact between literary tradition and innovative stylistic techniques. The use of lyrical tendencies demonstrates the adoption of the poetic quality of Slovak literature in a response to the crisis of the prose in the first half of the 20. century. Victorious Fall proves the artistic pursuit of Peter Jilemnický for a new novel form.

But he made one exception at the beginning of new millennium, in cooperation with Czech illustrator Jindřich Strašnov. Together they have created Nejsme jako my (2001), cycle of political satires with expressive illustrations, pointed against main characters of Czech post-revolutionary political scene.

Contouring the Essence of Nothingness in Beckett’s Texts for Nothing

- Page Range:93-98
- No. of Pages:6
- Keywords:Nothingness; texts; context; meaninglessness; expression; Samuel Beckett;
- Summary/Abstract:On the international literary scene Samuel Beckett has, to a considerable degree, established himself as a connoisseur of nothingness. Although this fact manifests itself primarily through his dramas, even a cursory glance at Beckett’s prosaic works would allow the reader to uncover mentioned problem in an unapologetically explicit context. This work is devoted to the outlining of the essence of nothingness in Samuel Beckett’s collection Texts for Nothing. Based on the series of thirteen texts, it analyzes the core of the named concept not only from the semantical and contextual viewpoints, but also linguistically. The language is being put under scrutiny both in terms of the narrator’s language competence and, generally, as a phenomenon and namely as the contour for delineatingthe essence of the notion as abstract as “nothing” – if not innately given, then obtained in the process of interpretation. The analysis also takes into the account such problematic aspects as the assumed, inherently impossible expression of nothingness and the failure of verbalization brought about by such a process.

- Page Range:99-111
- No. of Pages:13
- Keywords:Annie Ernaux; Didier Eribon; Pierre Bourdieu; autobiography; autofiction; sociological approach to literature
- Summary/Abstract:The present paper analyses the portrayal of the working class in two texts: A Man’s Place by Annie Ernaux and Returning to Reims by Didier Eribon. Both texts draw heavily on the thought of the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, and the study thus uses concepts introduced by Bourdieu to interpret the selected works. Through their personal journey, the narrators attempt to restate the image of the social class from which they originate. The description of the working class is not reduced to economic differences as sociocultural differences are emphasized. The themes raised by the texts extend well beyond the literary field: the description of the marginalized subject is deemed a political act.
