Czeski kamp(Komisja Slawistyczna PAN, Oddział w Poznaniu, IFS UAM, Wydawnictwo PRO, 2015) Firlej, AgataIn this essay I propose to consider ‘kamp’ style – on the example of chosen phenomena from the Czech culture – understood as a universal act of rebellion against the dictatorship of the so-called „good taste“ and as a pressure of „Dionysians“ on exclusive company of „aristocrats of the spirit“. If the history of art is actually the history of changing taste, the ‘kamp’ current must be the perpetual and protean phenomenon. I propose to treat kamp as a type of avant-garde gesture in the broad sense, based on the trend of democratization, in many respects analogous to the phenomenon against which it acts (this is characteristic for each revolution and for her brother: carnival). Ostentation, mocking rejection of the canon and dismantling of the dominant determinants of taste become the methods of fight. Artistic kitsch, mannerism, parody or subversive practices are the most frequent expressions of kamp. In the essay I present the work of artists from Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic after World War II: photographer Jan Saudek, film duo Oldrich Lipský and Jiří Brdečka, playwright David Drábek and showman Daniel Nekonečný, considering it as a socially committed acts carried out in the framework of the „revolution of disgust “.Item »Lustro, którego sami nie potrafilibyśmy sobie podstawić«. Czeska recepcja »Gottlandu« Mariusza Szczygła(Komisja Slawistyczna PAN, Oddział w Poznaniu, IFS UAM, Wydawnictwo PRO, 2015) Gemziak, ŁukaszThe aim of this article is to analyse the Czech reception of the literary work Gottland by Mariusz Szczygieł. The book triggered much interest in the Czech Republic. There, after its translation was published in 2007, it provoked a discussion about the history of the Czech Republic and the Czech national character. Czech authors’ reviews and opinions concerning the Polish journalist’s set of pieces of reportage focused on the problem of the spirit of the place, Czech mentality as well as recollection of the past. Furthermore, interest was triggered by the form which Szczygieł chose to introduce the topic, i.e. a piece of literary reportage, which is quite unpopular in the Czech Republic. The author of this article also draws our attention to the fact that the book received very positive reviews and that the history of the Czech Republic as well as Czechoslovakia described from a Pole’s perspective was found, in most cases, of high quality and enriching.Item O diable-moraliście, urwanej nodze i wcieleniach pokusy czyli ludowa (?) opowieść o Fauście z ilustracjami Josefa Manesa (na podstawie Doktor Faustus podle Gustava Schwaba vypravuje Fr. Táborský)(Komisja Slawistyczna PAN, Oddział w Poznaniu, IFS UAM, Wydawnictwo PRO, 2015) Sosnowska, DanutaThere are three main objectives of the article. The first one is to outline the existence of Faust motif in the Czech culture, both popular and high. The second one is to present the book Doktor Faustus podle Gustava Schwaba vypravuje Fr.Táborský, which was edited in Prague in 1921. The illustrations by Josef Mánes enriched originally Schwab’s work, which persuaded the Czech editors to make the book available to Czech readers in the mentioned year. The third goal is to discuss Mánes’ illustrations as a kind of an interpretative reading, and not only the decorative pictures which should be regarded as being subordinated to the literary senses. This painting commentary, made by Mánes, introduced irony and such erotic motives which are absent in that literary world. Schwab’s book is presented as the example of narration that mixes the elements of popular version of the Faust myth with much more sophisticated, philosophical commentary formulated by the author. Thus, the funny and fantastic story about Faust, full of grotesque and fantasy elements, changes into a serious, moral treatise concerning predestination, sin, guilt and punishment. During the interwar period, Czech interest in Schwab’s book could resulted not only from the reason of Mánes’ illustrations, but also from the cultural tendencies of the time. I mean the fascinations for the popular form of circus-like magic, a sense of folk humor, a creative fantasy, which used to change a predictable world into a fairy tale. All those attractive qualities were characteristic for Schwab’s book.Item Milan Kundera’s »Žert« Overviewed: Critical Reception of the Novel at the Time of Its Release and Today(Komisja Slawistyczna PAN, Oddział w Poznaniu, IFS UAM, Wydawnictwo PRO, 2015) Batistová, AnnaThe article deals with critical reflection of the novel Žert (The Joke) in the period from the end of the 1960s up to current reviews. In the first part of the critical historical analysis, the author examines the critical acceptance of the novel in the aftermath of its release (1967–1969), in Czech, Slovak and exiled journals and literary magazines in particular. The second part considers critical reactions to the novel throughout the 1970s and 1980s with an emphasis on the aftermath of its reception in the 1960s, official critical reviews in the era of normalization and its reception in exile and samizdat literature as well. Finally, the last part of the article offers a contemporary critical response to Žert, analyzed on the basis of Czech journals, literary magazines and newly emergent Kundera monographs. The aim of the article is to find out to what extent the critical response to Kundera’s much-respected novel has changed and whether current literary critics read the novel from different points of view than those at the end of the 1960s, when the novel was published for the first time.
