Pohádkové příběhy v české literatuře pro děti a mládež (1990–2010)

Author(s): Milena Šubrtová / Language(s): English,Czech Publication Year: 0

It is not possible to describe the position and the form of fairy tale in the Czech literature for children and youth of the past two decades without returning to transformations of the Czech literary scene immediately after 1989. The 1990s in the Czech literature for children and youth were a turbulent period influenced by social changes brought about byde–monopolization and fragmentation of publishing activities and also by the chance of open confrontation with the international book production featuring top as well as trivial and utilitarian works. The new national production of that period remained in the shadow of edition returns to the time–tested books from the golden collection of the Czech literature and also returns to the banned authors of the previous period. Quantitatively, catchy translations prevailed on the book market.

Autorské pohádkové knihy Petra Nikla a Františka Skály

Author(s): Martin Reissner / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

The experimental Czech fairy tale includes some books by the artist, theatre author, musician and writer, Petr Nikl. Despite the fact that in the recent years the literary quality of his texts has not increased he still remains an important figure in the area of the modern original fairy tale. Similarly, the fairy tales by the painter, graphic, conceptual artist and writer, František Skála, are aimed at readers and fans of his multi-media works as a whole. In comparison with Nikl he fascinates readers with his ability to find and emphasize aesthetic qualities in ordinary and banal connections, stories and artifacts while originally dealing with the natural environment at the formal (artistic) as well as the story-telling (literary) level. Both the writers are dealt with by Martin Reissner in the chapter Autorské pohádkové knihy Petra Nikla a Františka Skály [Original fairy talebooks by Petr Nikl and František Skála].

Les traducteurs dans la littérature québécoise

Author(s): Jean Delisle / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

Nombreux sont les écrivains d’expression française au Canada qui ont trouvé dans la pratique de la traduction un moyen de subsistance connexe à l’écriture originale. "Nos écrivains, constate Pierre Baillargeon, exercent tous un métier parallèle; ils sont avocats, médecins, traducteurs, prêtres" (Baillargeon 1944, 53). Dans Les médisances de Claude Perrin, il écrit: "Manger ou ne pas manger, là est la question. Je soutenais que, pour l’écrivain, il y a toujours de la vache enragée, le petit emploi [...]" Baillargeon 1973, 118). À ses yeux, le métier de traducteur était un petit emploi. Les écrivains québécois ne sont pas différents des autres, cependant. Chateaubriand, par exemple, a pu assurer sa subsistance à Londres grâce à des travaux de traduction. Émile Littré a travaillé comme traducteur au National, un grand journal libéral où il traduisait des articles de la presse allemande ou anglaise. Ce sont deux exemples parmi tant d’autres

Poznámky ke komparativní poetice

Author(s): Zdeněk Hrbata / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

Starting with a reflection on one part of Cervantes’ novel (Part I, Chapter 18 – Don Quixote describes what he sees: imaginary knights and their coats-of-arms or armours), this paper traces the possibilities of interrelationship between different kinds of arts as they appear in historical poetics and aesthetics. It mentions main tendencies in interdisciplinary and semiotics (intersemiotics) studies from the 18th century to the contemporary period. Besides the intermediality or transmediality, e.g. their projects of semiotics macromodes, we propose as a considerable and constant possibility for comparative poetics (and according to Jan Mukařovský) the comparison of themes considered, in the words of Gérard Genette, as generic essences.

Киркегор и Достоевски - Pro et Contra

Author(s): Nikolay Neychev / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The work deals with the elucidation of the temporal problems (the questions of Chronos, Kairos and Eternity) in the worldview concepts of Kierkegaard and Dosto evsky. The text argues that the two authors are of the same mind only with regard to the detrimental effect of prophanic time (chronos) on human existence. But they are full antagonists on the issue of how the kairotic moment transforms meaningless time into the fullness of Divine Eternity. According to Kierkegaard, this is only possible through a vague revelation of man's inner subjectivity, while for Dostoev sky this is impossible to achieve without the act of divine incarnation, that is, with out the visible iconic presence of the Divine Person.

"С елените и дунавските лебеди": история и колективна психика

Author(s): Xavier Galmiche / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Released in 1817 and 1818, the Manuscripts of Zelená Hora and Hradec Králové in Bohemia are part of the literary mystifications whose vogue spread across Europe from the end of the eighteenth century. They remain until today the most often pre sented among the Czech literary corpus: this exceptional reception extends for over a hundred and fifty years. Among the philologists and scholars who first devoted texts of modest but decisive scope to them, the French poet and Romantic thinker Edgar Quinet brings a comparative perspective in his article “From the Epic of the Bohemi ans” (1831). This essay proposes to read this early chapter of the French reception of modern Czech literature as an example of historiography based on analogy and empa thy. It is indeed possible to understand these early analyses in the context of the “pre history” of French comparative literature, philosophically influenced by Vico, Herder and the French Ideologues and initiated by Claude Fauriel, but also in a subjective understanding of the history in which Quinet includes his own experience of the Napo leonic wars: an individual and collective psychoanalysis?

Of Words and Water

Author(s): David Jenkins / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

To honor Professor Cholakova on the occasion of her 60th birthday, I am happy to contribute this study of some fifteen pages, which I call “Of Words and Water.” This essay touches on many of the areas suggested in the invitation for the Fest schrift: aesthetic, psychological, philosophical, and spiritual problems and their provisional mythopoetic solutions, in exemplary poems by two French symbolist poets – “Invitation to the Voyage” by Charles Baudelaire and “The Drunken Boat” by Arthur Rimbaud – and “The Idea of Order at Key West” by Wallace Stevens, and refers the understanding of archetype, as developed by Carl Gustav Jung and Northrop Frye, to comments by the poets themselves, and to other scholarly insights. The “academic excursus” is introduced by a personal and general introduction.

Autour d’un théorème de Brouwer et à travers une poésie de Baudelaire

Author(s): Sânziana Caraman,Lorelei Caraman / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

What does the hairy ball theorem have in common with one of the most famous French poets of all time? Going around Charles Baudelaire’s words, can one come across topology? And working around the idea of infinity, can one come across the transdisciplinary embrace of both metaphors and functions? From literary tropes to fixed points, from Baudelaire to Brouwer, and from the concrete to the abstract, this paper sets out to playfully explore the invisible lines uniting together, around and across, the power of poetics and the beauty of mathematics.

Vznik romantických národních eposů: srbsko-finské paralely

Author(s): Eliška Jiráňová / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

The desire for freedom is typical of the period of Romanticism; even the nations that were in the thrall of other countries started to develop their own national literatures, which were flourishing. Romanticists and their interest in the Balkans and the Orient marked the principal period when a connection between Serbian and Finnish literatures was formed. The two seemed to be totally different at first; however, there are many shared elements and influences especially in the area of Romantic literature. Serbian Folk Songs written by Vuk Stefanović Karadžić was translated to German and German men of letters were captivated; they brought the songs to the attention of Swede Johann Ludwig Runeberg, the Finnish national revivalist. Recognition of the Serbian epic was a sentiment shared across the Finnish-Swedish intelligentsia. Elias Lönnrot took charge of the idea to prepare a similar Finnish epic consisting of folk songs. The collection of folk songs and the creation of national epics drew the attention of the European intelligentsia of the period to small European nations, and these areas became a source of interest. Both epic works were studied by Czech scholar and translator Josef Holeček.

Keď príroda prestala byť domovom (Odprírodnenie v súčasnej slovenskej poézii)

Author(s): Zuzana Cepková Feješová / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

The present paper focuses on the relation between home and nature motifs in Slovak poetry. The motif of home was traditionally connected with nature, country and native village. However, the conventional opposition between nature and culture is being revaluated in the contemporary poetry. Several passages of the poetic texts prove the thesis about a period of so-called post-modern Romanticism characterized by escape from the nature, but anguishing poetic reactions on the social situation are symptoms of de-naturalization in the ambient of modern urban home. The de-naturalization, it means the loss of interaction with the home in nature, seems to be a part of a deeper process of identity crisis. De-humanization linked with de-naturalization is projected onto the creation of lyrical subject and issues into the usage of herbal and animal elements with unusual functions.

Tematika gastarbeiterů a národních stereotypů v tvorbě Natalky Sňadanko

Author(s): Lenka Heinigová / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

The paper focuses on themes, such as illegal Ukrainian workers or different national stereotypes, in literary production of a contemporary Ukrainian writer Natalka Sniadanko. For this work were chosen two of her novels—the debut A Collection of Passions and Misadventures of a Young Ukrainian Lady (2001) and Frau Müller Will Not Pay More (2013). In her fiction Sniadanko tends to reflect life experience of Ukrainian women who have left their homeland in search of a better life and future. The author also shows different national mentality, issues of women’s emancipation and Eastern European guest workers, so called “gastarbeiters”. The aim of the paper is to prove, based on theme analysis, Sniadanko’s literary work is not just so-called “chick lit”, but it also stands a chance as a product of highbrow literature.

Kateřina Tučková: roztříštění rodiny vlivem historických událostí, paměť, hledání identity

Author(s): Martin Markoš / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

The present paper deals with Kateřina Tučková’s literary work, concretely with the novels The Expulsion of Gerta (Vyhnání Gerty Schnirch), The Goddesses of Žítková (Žítkovské bohyně) in terms of family memory, relationship decline, narration of personal and family history, confirmation and reproduction of family myths (both presumed and real) and in terms of destructive influence of historical events on families and individuals. The attention is paid to (non-)functional communication, honesty (or alienation) and to (non-)dealing with set up life roles and strategies. Methodologically, this paper is based on studies by M. Castells (Power of Identity), A. Giddens (The Transformation of Intimacy: Love and Eroticism in Modern Societies) and J. Derdowska (Oscillating Mosaic: Urban Space and Literary Work) which can be used for anthropology of literature.

Význam priestoru mesta v tvorbe slovenských nadrealistov

Author(s): Jaroslava Šaková / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

In this paper I will deal with the area of a city in writing of the Slovak nadrealist poets. City played an important role in writing of the French and Czech surrealists and this pattern is repeated also with Slovak writers. Poems Srdce Bratislavy I and II by M. M. Dedinský and Neskutočné mesto by Vladimír Reisel represent the most striking example. Beside them, regarding the motif of home, the area of Bratislava becomes important for the nadrealists mainly as a shelter during a war situation. In accordance with the cosmopolite perception of area, which is a part of nadrealist poetics, home is not considered to be a concrete place, more preferably to be a symbol of something worth protecting from a war conflict and its destructive consequences. In addition to the area of a city and home, the paper will deal with the motif of wandering, the character of a passenger or wanderer and their specific depiction in comparison to Czech and French surrealist writing.
