The Role of Literature in Reconciling Trauma on Personal and Social Level

Author(s): Kristýna Bušková / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2013

This paper outlines the role of narrative in experiencing and reconciling trauma from the viewpoint of psychology and illustrates the role of literature in trauma reconciliation. It argues that personal trauma related to social and political context cannot be fully reconciled without prompting a parallel reconciliation process on the social level. Literature is seen as a possible vehicle for initiating and facilitating such process. This point is illustrated by an example of two autobiographical books dealing with personal experiences from the Czechoslovak Communist era.

Debut, ktorý zrkadlí i presahuje rod svojej autorky a dobu svojho vzniku

Author(s): Derek Rebro / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 4/2011

Tatjana Lehenová was one of the first to come up with demythologization of gender traditions in Slovakia. Her lyric subject keeps men in distance, ironically commenting asymmetries in partnership. She captures disintegration of relationships, including her own, and challenges the romantic notion of love. She rarely reveals her emotions. Ambivalent - rational and emotional - attitude creates a significant source of tension in the poems. Although the subject separates from the crowd and brings together with those on the edge and atmosphere of the collection is connected to bohemian, decadent and beat gestures, but even in this case subject keeps the distance. Lehenová undermines traditional gender stereotypes by distancing herself from the naive and reflective form of a relationship. She also breaches the image of working woman of those days: emancipation from above. She reflects hiding women behind „men's backs“. Besides the physical way of writing (écriture du corps), Lehenová creates functional verbal dialogue between substandard and vulgar vocabulary on one hand and deminutivs on the other. It is impressive how she combines charging or detached passages with more abstract and poetic passages. Dialogue and the ambivalent nature of the verses is suited to larger extension of poems. Form of poems is related with trends of postmodern literature of that period: pluralism, parody, ironization, dissolving boundaries between high and low art etc. „Silence“ and „dumbness“ is present in the collection several times: e.g. as the silence between the partners. We can read it also as protest against androcentric language or as "external silence". It is also related to the potency of new language options. The subject is aware of the devastating power of silence in a partnership that leads to revolution and thus improving the partnership status or terminating it. Allegorically, we can apply it on problem of silence as subversion. Lehenová also refers to the forced silence of women. The unmasking of these tactics, however, undermines it. Her poems are expressing new version of "femininity": in its non-stereotypical gender, ambivalent, emotional-rational way. In keeping with the thinking of authors of écriture féminine she is trying to write playful semiotic through the symbolic language. Lehenova´s writing is far away of utopic "feminine" ideal of H. Cixous, because her subject has too strong knowledge of being part of androcentric order. Reflects it, sometimes she oversteps it for a moment, but never completely. She is connected more on ideas of J. Kristeva and L. Irigaray

Poézia Jozefa Mihalkoviča (Zimoviská)

Author(s): Ján Zambor / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 4/2011

The reflection on the poetry by Jozef Mihalkovič interprets his key collection titled Zimoviská (“Winter Quarters”, 1965). An important thematic complex of Zimoviská are partner relations between a husband and wife, between a young couple – the lyrical male subject and his partner and partners in the circle of friends from work, acquaintances and family. Within the peripeties of partner relations situations of tension are exposed in particular, as well as the growing of love frustration into the existential one, crises lived through with difficulty, mutual attempts at overcoming tension and the restoration of trust. Verses on the overcoming of the tension between the partners are distinct and impressive. The epic base draws attention to the protagonists, to their stories in particular stages in life. A large number of characters manifests the author’s sociability. Creative submersions into the folk culture of the Little Carpathian region, especially into the vernacular language with its phraseology, in which the folk experience is concentrated, are noteworthy. However, in Zimoviská this region is presented multidimensionally, poems are connected to a particular space with a particular topography and with particular environment. The world of the past Slovak culture, including also the culture of the relations among people, their relation to work, to the soil, to nature, to the country that does not lack memory, and last but not least to the language, is reflected in the collection. Zimoviská is characterized by a permanent innovative expressive effort on multiple levels. Its characteristic is an avant-garde or neo-avant-garde non-linear construction. The poem emerges from a free montage or associatively linked individual or relatively independent varied thematic segments.

Nacionálny racionalizmus Jána Chalupku

Author(s): Marta Fülöpová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 4/2011

The work analyses the prosaic works of Jan Chalupka from the aspect of image studies, with emphasis put on the novel Bendeguz. It explores the literary image of Hungarians that is being created in the novel. The basis for this are the results of an international survey of national stereotypes of the University of Amsterdam that are stated in the handbook of imagology (Imagology. The cultural construction and literary representation of national characters. A critical survey. Ed. BELLER, Manfred, LEERSSEN, Joep, Amsterdam – New York: Rodopi). In the introduction it makes the simplified classification of Chalupka into explicitly Slovak literature more difficult and shifts his perception into the field of creation on the territory of Hungarian Kingdom. It analyses the main characteristics of the creation of Chalupka: influence of enlightenment and rationalism that is identified mainly in the usage of the mock principle as an instrument of recovery of problems of the society, enlightenment optimism, sensualism of the imagery. Centre of the work is the analysis of an imagology profile of Hungarians on the basis of the categories of the national identity: national currency, religion, geographical conditions, external look, psychological attributes and social themes. The emphasis is put on literary interpretation of the image: through which means the author expresses the ethnicity or nationality of a character, which influence has the national identity on other characteristics of a character, which compository role have these passages in the composition of the text. Particularity of the image of Hungarians from Chalupka is a view from inside, from the perspective of a Pseudohungarian who considers everything that is Hungarian positive. The satire is accomplished by using of hyperbolization, by far-fatching of the Hungarianism at the level of irreality, that is not acceptable for the sense of a rationalist. Chalupka records some level of formation of Hungarian national consciousness, self-identification phase: who are we, what characterizes us. The image is not negative for Hungarians. It does not ridicule of Hungarians but of the imprudences of Magyarization and Magyaromania. Through satire it tries to eliminate failures and so to ensure peace among the nationalities in Hungarian Kingdom.

The Slovaks living in Budapest and in the south of the Great Hungarian Plain from the point of view of the travellers.

The destination of the introduced publicists was concentrated beyond the Lajta, or to be more exact, to the capital of the monarchy Pest-Buda and to the Great Hungarian Plain.In their riports and travelogues the writers give a lively description of the events they lived through and showed the many-coloured, multinational composition of the town. In the first place the publicists laid emphasis on the typical behaviour, character and mentality of the Hungarian, Slovak and Czech residents.They took notice of the dynamic development and growth of the capital, the big constructions and the language usage of the population living there. In their riports they showed a typical town near Pest and towns of the Great Hungarian Plain (Békéscsaba, Mezőberény) and the residents too. Their writings without doubt belong to the Hungarian, Slovak and Czech historiography context and from the historical-cultural point of view they are remarkable.
