This text considers the early creative output of Ignác Cornova, in particular his lesserknown odes and his war poetry. It draws on contemporary research of the latter third of the 18th century focussing on the dynamic social change of the period, the transformation of the media, the emergence of a modern ‘public’, and changing perceptions of artistic as opposed to educational output. One of the difficulties of conceptualizing this period is the existence of two opposing trends – the older ‘Baroque’ tradition and the more ‘modern’ currents of the future national movement. Our text largely obviates this dichotomy by proposing a framework in which Cornova’s oeuvre is seen as evidence of an idiosyncratic cultural situation with its own features and markers. The aim of our study is to place Cornova’s early works within the literary context of his time – a context hard to appreciate today. We are not looking for the ‘future’ Cornova in those beginnings, nor the ‘embryos’ of his later development. Rather, we hope to rehabilitate the literary context in the Czech lands in the 1770s and 1780s as it veered between late Baroque odes, war reportage, and enlightenment patriotism. Alongside Cornova we consider now forgotten figures such as Vojtěch Koťara, Michael Denis, Johann Joseph Eberle and Václav Thám. The result is not a group biography, but rather a problem analysis of one segment of a period that defies unequivocal definition.
Die literaturhistorischen Arbeiten Zdeněk Mathausers sind hauptsächlich der Dichtung gewidmet, insbesondere der russischen. Sein Forschungsinteresse ist nicht auf die biographischen Umstände der Entwicklung der einzelnen Gedichte gerichtet, auch nicht auf ihre formale Beschreibung. Den Gegenstand seiner wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung kann man als phänomenologische Analyse "der eidetischen Struktur der lyrischen Erscheinung und lyrischen Wahrnehmung" bezeichnen. In dieser Hinsicht wirken in seinen Arbeiten fünf grundlegende Kategorien, auf die er in seinem Beitrag hinweist. In seinem Dichtungsverständnis erneuert Zdeněk Mathausers einige Seiten der Ästhetik der romantischen Epoche, welche auch voraussetzt, dass die Kunst den Menschen aus der prosaisch organisierten Welt ausschließen kann. and Ze symposií věnovaných Zdeňku Mathauserovi k 85. narozeninám
The aim of this study is to set out a relevant contextual framework for interpreting poetry published on (Czech) Instagram. The author looks at the material under study from a number of perspectives, including generational, economic and especially media perspectives, ultimately finding adequate contextualization outside the framework of literary discourse and actually within the aesthetics and communication practice of Instagram, while drawing key methodological inspiration from the reflections of new media theorist Lev Manovich. In conclusion, Instapoetry is characterized as a paraliterary phenomenon situated on the margins of the literary system, combining elements of literary and Instagram aesthetics and guided by hybrid economics principles.
This paper deals with composition technique in the poetry of Dhūmil (Sudāmā Pāṇḍey “Dhūmil”, 1936-1975). While the poet is capable of producing “attractive” images, as may be seen in some unpublished fragments of his earliest work, in the poems in the collection Sansad se saṛak tak (From Parliament to the Street, 1972, 2nd edn. 1975), he uses a “visionary” or hallucinatory method to create provocative images. This provocative vein runs through the entire collection, as one image does not slide seamlessly to the next as it does in Muktibodh’s poetry
This paper reflects upon the literary genre of memoirs, their typological differentiation and their specific source value. It also refers to the unique historical testimony of poetry, which directly reflects the events of the period and the atmosphere which they bring about, as well as presenting a certain "reading of history".
Die Studie beschäftigt sich mit der Untersuchung des literaturströmischen Charakterbildes der tschechisch geschriebenen Dichtung in der Slowakei im Jahre 1780-1815. Der Verfasser weist auf den synkretischen Charakter der Gelegenheitsdichtungpoetik hin und auf dem Hintergrund der barocken und klassizistischen Poetik folgt er der Durchdringung des Präromantismus in die slowakische Lutheranerdichtung. Darstellerisch ist die Studie auf die Texte der Gelegenheitsgedichtung von den Autoren des Almanachs Sollenia und des Periodikuns Týdenník, Juraj Palkovič, Samuel Rožnay und Bohuslav Tablic, und auf die Dichtung von P. J. Šafárik gerichtet.
This study makes a contribution towards resolving the issues surrounding the interpretation of intermedia works that experimentally combine poetry, word, music and sound. The particular subject of this analysis is a project known as Scribbles by writing duo Jaromír Typt and Michal Rataj, which has seen the light of day both in the form of live performances and on two albums (Škrábanice [Scribbles], Zaškrábnutí [Scribbles more]), on which the present essay is also based.
