Author(s): Izabela Kowalska-Paszt / Language(s): Russian Issue: 150/2015

Based on the literary and cultural material, the article discusses two functions played by the term of emigrantology as a legacy of three waves of Russian emigration in the 20th century.

It has systematized the area of intellectual and scientific self-reflection (including literary studies, historiography, philosophy and theology, and cultural studies), which developed in the community of Russian emigration. Additionally, the term provides modelling of the need for interdisciplinary and in the nearest future trans-disciplinary studies on the complex cultural phenomenon of Slavic emigrations. In this particular context, the article presents major research directions and achievements of Russian studies in Poland.

„Мултикултурализъм и многоезичие”

ІМАГОЛОГІЧНИЙ ПОТЕНЦІАЛ ОБРАЗУ БІЛОРУСА В СУЧАСНИХ СЛОВ'ЯНСЬКИХ ЛІТЕРАТУРАХ

Author(s): Olena POGREBNYAK / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 1/2019

The author considers the phenomenon of the images of the Belorussian in the works of modern Slavic writers. The following structural components of its paradigm are analyzed: auto-images (images of Belorussians in Belarussian literature) and hetero-image (images of Belarussians in Polish, Czech and Ukrainian literature), their formal characteristics and inner content, modality and interaction, as well as the functional and strategic significance for the formulation of the principles of national Identity and outline of its boundaries at the time of creation (for auto-images). Taking as an example the works of Karpovich, Topol, Urban, Singaevsky, Andrukhovych and some others texts, the author shows that in the non-Belorussian writers’ works, the images of Belarus and the Belorussians have been generally stereotyped (in Ukrainian and Czech literarture) or grotesque (in Czech literature) or even stigmatized (in Polish and Czech litersture). Such images illustrate the cultural and civilization influences and fix certain typological coincidences between the corresponding literary receptions. The imagological image appears to be an extralinguistic phenomenon, a full-fledged subject of interethnic relations, the modality of which forms the scenario of such relationships and determines the role of the author as their social mediator. The article also compares the image of the Belarussian in classical and modern Belarussian literature. There are examples of postmodern ironic rethinking of Kupala autoreflections in the works of Belarussian poets of the 21st century, attempts to deconstruct stereotypical perceptions of Belarussian realities are demonstrated. There is a connection between the updating of the image of Belarus in the writings of modern Belarussian writers and the intensity of the processes of self-identification in the stream of Belarussian culture of the 21st century.

O příznacích totality ve všedním životě a jejich uměleckém zobrazení

Author(s): Pavel Vlk / Language(s): Czech Issue: 4/2019

Klimeš, Ivan and Jan Wiendl (eds). Kultura a totalita, Vol. 4: Každodennost. Prague: Filozofická fakulta Univerzity Karlovy, 2016, 442 pp., ISBN 978-80-7308-701-2. The reviewed publication is the last volume of the remarkable collective publication project comprehensively titled "Culture and Totalitarianism", in which its editors, film historian Ivan Klimeš and literary historian Jan Wiendl, attempt to present the notion of “totalitarianism” through an analysis of its manifestations in art and culture in the Czech public space in the 19th and 20th century, since the national renaissance until the fall of the Communist regime. They approach the notion of totalitarianism in an innovative and unconventional manner, reflecting it not primarily in a political framework, but against a broader backdrop, using an interdisciplinary interconnection of philosophy and selected art disciplines. While the previous volumes were examining manifestations of the broadly defined totalitarianism inconnection with the topics of nation, war, and revolution, the final one, titled "Everydayness", focuses on manifestations of totalitarianism in artistic depictions of everydayness. The reviewer presents in detail the initial, more general studies, as well as different case analyses and insights into the history of literature, film, and theatre, concluding that the publication is an inspiration for interested parties from many fields and it has succeeded in meeting its objective

Tuzemský komiks dvacátého století

Author(s): Lucie Kubíčková / Language(s): Czech Issue: 4/2019

Prokůpek, Tomáš, Pavel Kořínek, Martin Foret, and Michal Jareš. Dějiny československého komiksu 20. století, Vols. 1–3. Prague: Filip Tomáš – Akropolis, 2014, 996 + 87 pp.,ISBN 978-80-7470-061-3. The reviewer presents a three-tome publication titled "History of the Czechoslovak comics of the 20th century" and written by four authors as the most comprehensive work on the history of comics in the Czech Lands and Slovakia, or in Czechoslovakia, in the twentieth century. In addition to the text, an opulent graphic accompaniment containing more than five hundred illustrations plays an equal role; an important part of the work is a rich technical apparatus concentrated in the third volume. In the reviewer’s opinion, a clear arrangement of the contents, unified methodology, and chronological structure of chapters contribute to a generally positive impression of the book. The chapters bring, in particular, an overview and description of Czechoslovak pictorial serials as well as domestic translations of foreign comics, but there is also a description of a more general historical context and a capture of the period (frequently rather critical) reflection of this pop culture phenomenon. However, much less space has been devoted to an analysis of transformation of comics in Czechoslovakia and their context. Still, the reviewer believes the work is, save for a few minor details, beyond reproach, its uniqueness and contributionare illustrated by many awards and nominations it has earned.

Rozpaky nad monumentem o dějinách československého komiksu

Author(s): Martin Franc / Language(s): Czech Issue: 4/2019

Prokůpek, Tomáš, Pavel Kořínek, Martin Foret, and Michal Jareš. Dějiny československého komiksu 20. století, Vols. 1–3. Prague: Filip Tomáš – Akropolis, 2014, 996 + 87 pp.,ISBN 978-80-7470-061-3. The reviewer sees the three-tome publication titled "History of the Czechoslovak comics of the 20th century" as a work which is impressive at first sight and based on extraordinarily voluminous and meticulous heuristics bringing amazing results in the form of a mass of reliable and often hitherto unknown information, and with an excellent graphic design. However, the superb positivistic performance of the authors implies, in the reviewer’s opinion, a problem with the reader’s ability to absorb the deluge of data often presented as tiresome lists of authors, names and characteristics of the pictorials without a framework that would keep them together. As a result, the general impression is fragmentary rather than compact and concise. In addition, the authors perceive comics as a specific literary-graphic genre and almost ignore interactions between this pop culture phenomenon and the society. The reviewer concludes that the authors have created a basic inventory of Czechand Slovak comics, but have not progressed toward a structured historical analysis.

Cesty autorské pohádky po roce 2000 v České republice a v Bulharsku

Author(s): Martina Salhiová / Language(s): Czech

This monograph deals with a genre of children’s literature (literature for children and young adults) – the contemporary authorial fairy tales published between 2000 and 2020 in the Czech Republic and in Bulgaria. Using a comparative method and analysis of the works, the monograph follows the development shifts in the genre of authorial fairy tale in both national literatures. The work is selective, focused on the most distinctive types of authorial fairy tales. The division of the monograph into four parts (folklore-influenced fairy tales, diary and calendar fairy tales, lyricized and rhythmic fairy tales, humor and nonsense fairy tales) tends to be more orientational and approximate thanks to the mixing of different literary genres.

Author(s): Jiří Černý / Language(s): Czech,Portuguese

"The Portuguese-Czech dictionary of Brazilian Portuguese represents, within the Czech context, the first dictionary that focuses on the specific vocabulary of the Brazilian variant of Portuguese and attempts to translate it into Czech.

Przekład a twórczość własna w świetle tłumaczeń polsko-czeskich XVI i XVII wieku

Author(s): Klaudia Koczur-Lejk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 14/2023

The subject of considerations in the article are translations from Polish into Czech made in the 16th and 17th centuries. The author presents the cultural differences between Poland and the Czech Republic at that time, which determined the selection of works for translation and also influenced the reception of the translations. The main attention is focused on the figure of the Polish emigrant writer Bartłomiej Paprocki, who had the greatest contribution to the creation of subsequent translations. Paprocki attempted to instill trends characteristic of Polish Renaissance literature in the Czech Republic. Since this was not positively received, the writer began to convert his works, trying to adapt them to the habits and expectations of Czech readers. The aim of the article is to try to capture the connections between Paprocki‘s own work and the works of Polish poets that he chose for translation into Czech.

„Obecné formy … nalezeny jsou býti nedostatečné“. Genologický systém druhého vydání Jungmannovy Slovesnosti

Author(s): Pavel Šidák / Language(s): Czech Issue: 44/2024

This study deals with a chapter in the history of Czech genre theory, namely the second (corrected) edition of Josef Jungmann’s Slovesnost (‘Belles-lettres’; 1845) and its descriptions of genre systems, in particular his system of six poetic types. It also deals with the relationship of this system to the temporal context, i.e. the past (summarizing the thinking on genre at the time that Jungmann wrote Slovesnost) and future (indicating those aspects in which Jungmann’s system remains theoretically relevant today).
