- Description:
- Derek Walcott’s colonial schoolhouse bears an interesting relationship to space and place: it is both a Caribbean site, and a site that disavows its locality by valorizing the metropolis and acting as a vital institution in the psychic colonization of the Caribbean peoples. Th e situation of the schoolhouse within the Caribbean landscape, and the presence of the Caribbean body, means that the pedagogical relationship works in two ways, and that the hegemonic/colonial discourses of the schoolhouse are inherently challenged within its walls. While the school was used as a means of colonial subjugation, as a method of privileging the metropolitan centre, and as a way of recreating that centre within the colonies, Walcott’s emphasis on place complicates and ultimately rewrites colonial discourses and practices. While the school attempts to legitimize colonial space, it in fact fosters what Walter Mignolo has termed “border thinking.”, Koloniální škola Dereka Walcotta s sebou nese zajimavý vztah mezi prostorem a místem: je to jak místo v Karibiku, tak i místo, které své locality vzdává tím, že zvyšuje hodnotu metropole a jedná jako nepostradatelná instituce v psychické kolonizaci karibského lidu. Poloha školy v karibské krajině a přítomnost karibského těla znamenají, že pedagogický vztah působí dvěma způsoby a že hegemonické/ koloniální diskursy školy jsou uvnitř jejích zdí z vlastní podstaty zpochybňovány. Přestože škola byla používána jako prostředek koloniálního podmanění, jako metoda pro privilegování metropolitního centra a jako způsob znovuvytváření tohoto centra uvnitř kolonií, Walcottův důraz na místo komplikuje a v konečném důsledku přepisuje koloniální diskursy a praktiky. Zatímco škola usiluje o legitimizaci koloniálního prostoru, ve skutečnosti pěstuje to, co Walter Mignolo nazval “hraničním myšlením”., and Ben Jefferson.

2235. Contortionist, caricature and the grotesque body

- Description:
- Contortionist (1931) was one of the earliest oils created by the painter František Tichý during his five years in Paris. The painter returned to this subject matter in further works that reached their peak in paintings made in 1945. For Tichý, the Parisian period was a time of reassessment of his own style as a painter and the development of a highly individual technique based on Seurat-esque postimpressionism. Past interpreters of Tichý's works have already commented on certain elements of tension and ambivalence in his brushwork, enhanced by a particular treatment of light and building of space. Similar aspects are conveyed in the choice of subjects, including the contortionist. This article draws attention to historical examples of treatments of the contortionist figure and to links with the Devětsil movement, which shared with Tichý a strong fascination with circus. The article likewise shows that Tichý's contortionist figure is indebted to a bizarre drawing of two copulating homosexuals, its subversive quality further emphasised by scatological themes. Since Tichý produced other versions of the contortionist theme that allude to the act of excretion, this figure may be understood as a representative of the grotesque body as defined by Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin. Tichý's work thus corresponds in certain points with the art of Jindřich Štyrský and the Surrealists, who were likewise attracted to scatological themes and also with the work of satirical draughtsmen and caricaturists, with a longer tradition of scatological subjects reaching back to the 16th century. Examples of period reviews demonstrate that Tichý's paintings were rich in associative meanings, akin to the perception of Surrealist works and the Surrealist discovery of concrete irrationality. Tichý's works oscillated between social critique in terms of subject matter, a personally engaged self-stylisation and a certain subversiveness that disrupted the conventional meanings of the individual themes. and Jedno z prvních pláten, která vytvořil František Tichý během svého pětiletého pobytu v Paříži, byl olej Hadí muž (1931). Tomuto motivu se malíř věnoval i v dalších pracích, vrcholících obrazy z roku 1945. Pařížské období znamenalo pro Tichého přehodnocení jeho malířského rukopisu a nalezení osobité techniky, vycházející ze seuratovského postimpresionismu. Již předešlí interpreti Tichého tvorby odhalili v jeho štětcové technice prvky napětí a ambivalence, podpořené specifickým zacházením se světlem a budováním prostoru. Tyto momenty se přenášejí i do obsahu ztvárňovaných námětů včetně hadího muže. Článek poukazuje na historické příklady zachycení této figury a na spojitosti s hnutím Devětsil, v němž hrála stejně jako u Tichého významnou roli inspirace cirkusem. Současně dokládá, že pro genezi Tichého hadího muže byla podstatná bizarní kresba dvou souložících homosexuálů, jejíž podvratnost byla ještě zvýrazněna skatologickou tematikou. Jelikož některé další Tichého postavy hadího muže odkazují k aktu exkrece, můžeme tuto figuru chápat jako reprezentanta groteskního těla, jak ho definoval Michail Michajlovič Bachtin. Tichý se tak v určitých bodech stýkal s tvorbou Jindřicha Štyrského a surrealistů, kteří byli skatologickými motivy rovněž přitahováni. Podobně tomu bylo také u satirických kreslířů a karikaturistů, kde však měla skatologická tematika delší tradici, sahající do 16. století. Příklady dobové recepce dokládají, že Tichého obrazy navozovaly asociativní významy, nikoli nepodobné vnímání surrealistické tvorby a surrealistickému objevování konkrétní iracionality. Tichého plátna oscilovala mezi sociálně-kritickým obsahem, osobně angažovanou autostylizací a určitou podvratností, narušující konvenční význam jednotlivých motivů.

- Type:

- Language:
- Czech
- Description:
- Contributions by correspondents of Czech Ethnographical Society create a new section of Ethnographical Bulletin. A lot of valuable field information has been acquired in this way over the years. Zdeněk Škorpík writes in his text Icing about already extinct practice connected in the past primarily with innkeeping and business. The ice which was broken in pieces during winter was transferred to specially adapted rooms where it was used for keeping food and drinks cool until next winter. The practice of icing in Silůvky stopped at the end of the 1940s. The article by another correspondent, František Pešík from Brdo in Plzeň region, brings a detailed description of making wooden rakes used on farms (Rakes). Simple technological process and instruments were used by rake making in domestic conditions. Rakes differed according to the purpose for which they were used: narrow ones served for hay tedding, wider ones for raking stubble fields and there were also special rakes for tedding barley and oat. and Tento abstrakt je společný pro 2 předchozí články zařazené do oddílu Příspěvky dopisovatelů České národopisné společnosti

- Description:
- A newly established section containing contributions by the correspondents of the Czech Ethnographical society profiles one of the oldest, and nonetheless still active, correspondent František Pešík (born in 1916) from Brdo, a small village close to Manětín. Many of his manuscripts are placed in society’s archive. Some of them have already been published. The author of Pešík’s profile titled František Pešík and His Cooperation with the Ethnographical Society M. Válka describes his life story as well as his areas of interest. From the beginning of the 1970s, Pešík continued towards the enrichment of Ethnographical society’s archive by his contributions from different areas of regional history, traditional folk culture and contemporary village life. The actual text by František Pešík Religious Processions in Manětín until the Year 1953 deals with religious processions which took place in Manětín in the first half of the twentieth century and earlier, as well as with their contemporary form. He gives detailed account of processions on the Resurrection Day, Easter Vigil (on Holy Saturday), Corpus Christi, feast of St. Mark, Rogation Days, feast of the Holy Trinity, the so called “walking with a star”, etc. He takes notice of individual stations, actions of worship, prayers and priest’s speeches. Another sphere of interest covers pilgrimages - to Plasy, Skoky u Žlutic and Svatá Hora u Příbrami. He pays close attention to interesting personality connected to this phenomenon - the singer Vojtěch Havel. and Tento abstrakt se vztahuje k 2 předchozím článkům uvedeným v oddílu Příspěvky dopisovatelů České národopisné společnosti
