New Messengers: Short Narratives in Plays by Michael Frayn, Tom Stoppard and August Wilson

Author(s): Tomáš Kačer / Language(s): English

The publication introduces the “new messenger” as a specific type of dramatic character, a follower of the conventional „messenger“ whose presence in traditional drama serves several purposes, which the new messenger also fulfills. What makes it different is the fact that it is not an independent character, but the role it has is assumed by major characters in contemporary mainstream drama, such as journalists and reporters, politicians and their assistants, scientists and teachers, detectives and police officers, historical characters, philosophers and literary scholars, etc. The publication provides examples of the use of this type in a series of case studies of plays by two British playwrights Michael Frayn and Tom Stoppard, and an African-American playwright August Wilson.

Don DeLillo’nun Sıfır K ve Ian McEwan’ın Benim gibi Makineler Adlı Eserlerinde İnsanötesine Dair

Author(s): Muhsin Yanar / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Don DeLillo’nun Sıfır K (Zero K 2016) eserinin ilk cümlesi “herkes dünyanın sonuna sahip olmak ister” (3) diye başlar. Bu cümlesiyle DeLillo, din-ötesi (post-religion) dönemde ölüm(ler)e karar vericilerin kimler ve neler olduğunu imler. Ona göre ölüm(ler)e karar vericiler, ekonomik sistemler, bu sistemleri yönetenler, teknolojiler, teknolojik sistemler ve bunları yönetenlerdir. Dünyanın sonuna sahip olma arzusu bu kişiler, teknolojiler ve sistemlere aittir. Dil bir araç olarak DeLillo’nun ifade ettiği “dünyanın sonu[nu]” (3) sona yaklaşıldığını ve bu süreci anlatabilir veya hikâyelendirebilir ancak yaklaşan yeni olası gerçeklerle veya gerçekliklerle bu hikâyelemesinden vazgeçebilir. Söz konusu olasılık ise teknolojik ve bilimsel gelişmelerle ilintilidir çünkü bilim ve teknoloji de yarını ve yarına dair olanı öngörür. Dolayısıyla insanötesi (posthümanizm) çalışmaların öngörüsü, bilim ve teknolojinin öngörüsüyle yakından ilişkilidir. Bu ilişki dâhilinde yarın tasavvuru ve bu tasavvur dâhilinde insanötesi varlık tasavvurları anlatılır. Bu çalışmada Don DeLillo’nun Sıfır K ve Ian McEwan’ın Benim Gibi Makineler(Machines Like Me 2019) eserinde yarın tasavvuru ve insanötesi varlık tasavvuru insanötesi kuram bağlamında incelenecektir.

Já z hvězd svou moudrost nevyčet… : Studentský sborník intermediálních analýz

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

The volume consists of two parts, one of which comprises analyses of filmic transmediations of Shakespeare’s sonnets (The Sonnetproject, New York Shakespeare Exchange 2013), the other analyses of literary ekphrases (by W. Szymborska, U. Fanthorpe, J. Stone etc.). It results from an Intermedial studies seminar held in 2021 within the program Literature and Intercultural Communication at Masaryk University, Brno. The contributions display various approaches that fall under two main intermedial methods, literature-centered (introduced by Werner Wolf), which focuses primarily on a semantic analysis of the original text, and literature-oriented (as suggested by Irina Rajewsky), which respects the transmediation as an autonomous representation and observes its relations to the pretext mainly retrospectively; and even a comparative one, which involves a translinguistic analysis of translations as intercultural and historical transfers.

Author(s): Aleksandra Glavanakova / Language(s): English

Posthuman Transformations: Bodies and Texts in Cyberspace explores the re/positioning of the human body and the evolution of the textual body in technological culture.

What is the body’s role in redefining the human in technological culture?

Leonard Cohen, the Modern Troubadour

Author(s): Jiří Měsíc / Language(s): English

This monograph arose from thinking about the literary tradition as described by the Anglo-American modernist writers Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot. In their view, the tradition of European love-lyrics crystallized in the work of the medieval Occitan troubadours, who represented the cultural and political milieu of the Occitanie of that period and whose work reflected the religious influences of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Nowadays, it is not surprising that contemporary artists draw on the troubadour poets and that they are even contrasted with them by critics. Such is the case of Leonard Cohen, who, during his career, revealed erudition in medieval poetry and religion and whose work shows many parallels with the work of his Occitan predecessors.

“Route CZ-AT” to the USA: Perceiving American Culture in Central Europe

Author(s): Petr Anténe / Language(s): English

While English is the lingua franca and an established language in numerous countries, it is its American variant that keeps spreading rapidly to other parts of the world due to the wide ranging influence of the USA in politics, economics and popular culture. The nine authors of this volume present various aspects associated with the perception of the USA, whether it be American English, a theme in American literature and culture or an analysis of their reception in and/or influence on the Czech Republic or Austria. As all of the contributors work or study at an educational institution that prepares future teachers, most of the chapters either discuss the students’ or pupils’ point of view on the topic or provide another connection to the process of foreign language teaching.
