«Je suis comme collé à la bête, faisant partie de la bête…»

Author(s): Małgorzata Sokołowicz / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

The present paper focuses on the travel notes by Michel Vieuchange (1904-1930), a young Frenchman who decided to explore Smara, a holy Muslim city, forbidden to foreigners and situated in the middle of the desert. The aim of the paper is to analyse the travelogue from an ecopoetic perspective, that is to show how this difficult, lonely and exhausting travel (Vieuchange reaches Smara, but dies on his way back home) affects the way the traveler describes his contacts with non-humans. The paper is divided into three parts. The first one shows how Vieuchange depicts in his notes animals, and particularly flies and camels. The second reveals his attitude towards the desert and the last one focuses on the way he describes Smara.

La symbolique des vipères dans "Étoile errante" et "L’Enfant et la guerre" de J.M.G. Le Clézio

Author(s): Natalia Nielipowicz / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

The article is an ecopoetic reading that leads to a reflection on the symbolic meaning of vipers that appear in "Wandering Star" and in "L’Enfant et la guerre". These snakes living on a riverbank are linked to, on one hand, an impression of freedom and happiness experienced by children venturing into the viper territory and, on the other hand, a memory or announcement of the death of the protagonists. This bipolar symbolic dimension is embodied in the figure of the resistance fighter, who first shows the nests of the vipers and the large fields of grass to children and then loses his life during the war. His struggle, added to the recollection of the aquatic element, the river and the vipers, refers to the tragedy of the Jews fleeing Nice during the summer of 1943. The presence of the reptiles evokes feelings linking the protagonists of the two texts with the world of their childhood memories.

Les chasseurs et leurs victimes: pour une écologie des relations humaines

Author(s): Katarzyna Thiel-Jańczuk / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

The article presents an analysis of Belgian author Adeline Dieudonné’s bestselling novel "True Life" in relation to contemporary humanistic reflection on the relationship between humans and animals, in particular by such philosophers as Jacques Derrida or Elisabeth de Fonteney. The novel is also analysed in the context of the emergence of a new sensitivity, which Jean-Marie Apostolidès labels as the “culture of victimization”. The purpose of the hunting images appearing in the novel is to criticize traditional cultural codes related to the “culture of heroism” (Apostolidès), responsible for shaping interpersonal relationships on the basis of the predator-victim relation. Dieudonné postulates the need to redefine traditional social roles, and also treats her work as a form of literary “intervention” aimed at creating conditions for non-aggressive coexistence of all living beings.

Metafikční strategie nedůvěry polské básnické generace 68 ve vybraných filmech krzysztofa kieślowského

Author(s): Michael Alexa / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

The article summarizes the current research state of the key filiation of the Polish poetry Generation 68 and early films by Krzysztof Kieślowski, which is defining against “the undepicted world” (Julian Kornhauser a Adam Zagajewski) or “the fight against fake representation of language” (Slavoj Žižek), as described by Marek Haltof, a film scientist, in his work. In this respect, Haltof’s monograph draws on the literary-critical collection called “Świat nie przedstawiony” (1974) by Kornhauser and Zagajewski which is recognized as a program manifesto for Generation 68. He sees the filiation with Kieślowski’s films as various manifestations of one cultural tendency in 1968–1975 and thus he is limited to early documentary films. The aim of the paper is to broaden Haltof’s concept by the conclusions of the second key work characterizing Generation 68, which is the study by Stanisław Barańczak called “Nieufni i zadufani” (1971) and describe the metafictional strategy of the distrust of language as a significant feature of Kieślowski’s film work in all its periods as well as genres, that is both documentary and fiction films from 1968 to 1994.

Domov slovenského drotára (J. K. Tyl – Pomněnky z Roztěže a téma domova)

Author(s): Jana Bujnáková / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

The mutual development of Czech-Slovak relations naturally led to the emergence of literary works with home as the main theme. The arabesque, Pomněnky z Roztěže by Josef Kajetán Tyl, also falls into the period of 19th century. After the unpleasant relationship experience a Slovak tinker loses the meaning of life and feeling of having a home. Being lonely, he wanders around missing his homeland, thinking of his family, childhood and home village. However, on the mental side, the homeland was represented by his love to Hanka and their future plans. The unfulfilled love is ultimately existentially and personally liquidating for the tinker, who lost his home, understood not only as a physical place.

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.

Z otčiny na galeje a späť. K významovým a výrazovým dimenziám motívu domova v spisoch uhorských protestantských exulantov v 17. storočí

Author(s): Petra Rusňáková / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

Until the half of the 17th century Hungary was a country where even non-catholic religious communities were tolerated. Although in the second half of the 17th century the ruling dynasty of Habsburgs reacted more strictly to movements in Europe and inside the monarchy (Turkish occupation, thirty years’ war, anti-habsburg rebellions). In order to internally strengthen his empire, the monarch took steps related also to religion. Religious homogenity was at that time considered to be one of the country stability aspects. Due to that catholic Habsburgs decided to eliminate majoritarian protestant communities—evangelicals a. c. and the reformed (calvins). On the basis of events from this period there came to existence a new type of literature reflecting mentioned facts. Authors were scholars and priests that became exiles or even galleymen. In connection with that they work explicitly or implicitly with a motif of home in their writing. The paper focuses on analysis of semantic and expressive dimensions of this motif.

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.

Home of All Fears—Poland. Metaphor of Poland As a Home In Dawid Kornaga’s Local Anaesthesia

Author(s): Michał Wolski / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The aim of the paper is to philologically analyze Dawid Kornaga’s novel Local Anaesthesia (Znieczulenie miejscowe, 2008) from the perspective of using the metaphor of Poland as a home of all vampires and other creatures. Kornaga presents in his work 25 profiles of demonic characters (19 of them are vampires and 6 are other wraiths known from Slavic folklore), and all of them in different ways—involving irony, cynicism and humour—represents specific approach to thinking of Poland as a home, but also homeland, burden or duty. Construction of the novel is similar to silva rerum and allows great transparency of plot elements, time periods, relations between characters and their sentiments concerning their living place. It leads to the peculiar collage of attitude towards Poland, which is annotated with ironic narrative commentary and allows to recognize a group portrait of Poles, who are (in Kornaga’s novel) nothing less than a nation of vampires.

Postava Gavrila Principa v súčasnej srbskej dráme

Author(s): Ana Žikić / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

In the paper, I will deal with an interpretation of the character of G. Princip in contemporary Serbian drama based on two plays by authors B. Srbljanović and M. Marković. Both texts were written at the occasion of celebrating hundred years of the beginning of World War I and lean on historical reality and archive material, but they are not simple reconstruction of events. I will analyze the texts from culturological point of view, due to the fact that they present events long term present in collective memory of South Slavs, they bring to light circumstances of the assassination and show a role of an individual in confrontation with large collective history and explore meaning of the words „victim“ or „hero“ in spirit of postmodernism.

Tvůrčí analýza a interpretace básní

Author(s): Pavla Kopečná / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

Na počatku bylo ticho. Pak pohled docenta vyloudil z poslucharny několik nesmělych vět. Podobne, poměrně frekventovane povzdechy jsou důkazem, že analyza a interpretace basnickeho textu způsobuje problemy i vysokoškolskym studentům literatury. „Basnicky jazyk“ je pro některe čtenaře nesrozumitelny, jako kdyby byl jazykem cizim. Pedagog v recepčnim procesu sehrava roli zprostředkovatele – jeho ukolem je sbližit indiferentni strany, studenta a baseň, a timto spřatelenim zjednodušit cestu k pochopeni a interpretaci basnickych textů.
