By Mary Hrabík Šámal 184 CONTRIBUTORS 186 ADVICE TO CONTRIBUTORS 189 ii Editor’s Notes This issue incorporates scholarship on a variety of topics related to Czech, Slovak, and Czechoslovak history and cultural studies. In some cases the critical approach or point of view taken by the author is of special interest as well. For example, in the first article Todd Ruecker, as he analyzes the “alternative rhetoric” of those associated with the experimental project Bilé Divadlo (White Theater) during the period 1970-76 in Czechoslovakia, ac- knowledges our continuing need for “a plurality of rhetorics.” Pavel Marek’s study of Václav Myslivec is the first of several articles and essays that focus on biographical (and autobiographical) topics. Myslivec was a leading Czech figure in the Christian-Democratic movement of the later 1800s and early 1900s who, according to Marek, has not yet been adequately studied by historians. Many of our readers will surely agree that a scholarly biography of Myslivec would help us to better understand the complex political and religious movements in which he played a part. With Karolina Slámová’s article on Igor Hájek we move to literary issues, and in addition to readers with a specific interest in this important Czech author, those with a broad interest in a comparative approach to litera- ture will find much to ponder in her links between Hájek and Philip Roth, Josef Škvorecký, and other writers. In particular, Slámová’s claim that Hájek “helped Czech books to find their way to new audiences” should resonate with readers. Michael Cwach has had a longstanding interest in Czech bagpipers, and his personal commitment to research in this area of the Czech folk music tradition is obvious in his account of Josef Šnabl, Ondřej Ludvík, and other performers in their 1920 American tour. I hope that any readers of this article who may have access to additional information about this remarkable Czech- American connection will make contact with the author. Czech-American con- nections in another (in this case, political) context are explored by Francis D. Raška in his study of Ferdinand Peroutka and his associations with Radio Free Europe and the Council of Free Czechoslovakia. Sadly, this Czech exile “never felt at home in America.” Many readers will recognize essayists in this issue as previous con- tributors to Kosmas. I suspect that Zdenk Salzmann’s essay on “diminutives and augmentatives in Czech” will find its way to various classrooms in which the language is taught. Readers with a special interest in the development of Slavic national movements and a Panslavic consciousness in the 1830s and 1840s will no doubt appreciate Jelena Milojković-Djurić’s essay on the vision- ary Slovak scholar Jan Kollár. Eric Dluhosch’s essay on Karel Teige, which began as a book review, offers readers reproductions of illustrations from Karel Teige and Typography by Karel Srp, Polana Bregantová, and Lenka By- džovská, along with a commentary that will surely encourage interest in this important new book. Joseph N. Rostinsky and Kenji Hotta’s essay on Estelle Hudson and Henry R. Maresh’s Czech Pioneers of the Southwest (1934) is of special interest to me personally because this “classic” historical work is one iii KOSMAS: Czechoslovak and Central European Journal that has a special status among Texans of Czech heritage, and I look forward to sharing this essay with old friends and relatives. Jan Klinka’s essay on Robert Matula and Alois Vyhnák, two Czecho- slovak paratroopers in World War II who ended up in Canada, and the personal memoir of Herbert Löwit, who also served in the war, are both powerful re- minders of the complex history surrounding the Second World War, and I know that some readers will be reminded of other life stories as well. In addition to Dluhosch’s essay on the Karel Teige book, we have included reviews of several important new books, and readers who are familiar with our journal will recognize names among the reviewers: Tracy A. Burns, Zdenk V. David, Marcella K. Perett, James W. Peterson, Zdenk Salzmann, and Mary Hrabík Šámal (our Book Review Editor). Given the name of our journal, it is appropriate that among the books reviewed is a recent translation of The Twelve Century Latin Chronicle of the Czechs by Cosmas of Prague. I am grateful for the valuable work of Assistant Editor Sofia Prado and Managing Editor David Z. Chroust in preparing this issue for publication, and I also want to thank Christina Wall, a doctoral candidate in German Cul- tural Studies at the University of Maryland, for assisting us in the editing proc- ess.

WINGFIELD Northern Illinois University, Department of History, US-IL 60115 DeKalb, Zulauf Hall 715 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This article examines attempts to construct »Czechoslovak« national identity in the wake of the First World War through the creation of new celebrations and holi- days. Drawing on archival material as well as a variety of contemporary books, newspapers, and pamphlets, the analysis reveals that the bourgeois, predominantly Czech rhetoric associated with these holidays, indeed, with the state itself, limited the attraction they exerted not only on the non-state-forming peoples of the countries, especially Germans and Hungarians, but also on the communists and, increasingly, some Slovaks.

    Surrealism in and out of the Czechoslovak New Wave

    Introduction Surrealism In and Out of the Czechoslovak New Wave Figure I.1 A poet’s execution. A Case for the Young Hangman (Případ pro začínajícího kata, Pavel Juráček, 1969) ©Ateliéry Bonton Zlín, reproduced by courtesy of Bonton Film. 2 | Avant-Garde to New Wave The abrupt, rebellious flowering of cinematic accomplishment in the Czechoslovakia of the 1960s was described at the time as the ‘Czech film miracle’. If the term ‘miracle’ referred here to the very existence of that audacious new cinema, it could perhaps also be applied to much of its content: the miraculous and marvellous are integral to the revelations of Surrealism, a movement that claimed the attention of numerous 1960s filmmakers. As we shall see, Surrealism was by no means the only avant-garde tradition to make a significant impact on this cinema. But it did have the most pervasive influence. This is hardly surprising, as Surrealism has been the dominant mode of the Czech avant-garde during the twentieth century, even if at certain periods that avant-garde has not explicitly identified its work as Surrealist. Moreover, the very environment of the Czech capital of Prague has sometimes been considered one in which Surrealism was virtually predestined to take root. The official founder of the Surrealist movement, André Breton, lent his imprimatur to the founding of a Czech Surrealist group when he remarked on the sublimely conducive locality of the capital, which Breton describes as ‘one of those cities that electively pin down poetic thought’ and ‘the magic capital of old Europe’.1 Indeed, it would seem a given that Czech cinema should evince a strong Surrealist tendency, especially when we consider the Surrealists’ own long-standing passion for this most oneiric of art forms.
  • Czech Language and Literature Peter Zusi

    Czech Language and Literature Peter Zusi

    chapter 17 Czech Language and Literature Peter Zusi Recent years have seen a certain tendency to refer to Kafka as a ‘Czech’ author – a curious designation for a writer whose literary works, without exception, are composed in German. As the preceding chapter describes, Kafka indeed lived most of his life in a city where Czech language and society gradually came to predominate over the German-speaking minor- ity, and Kafka – a native German-speaker – adapted deftly to this changing social landscape. Referring to Kafka as Czech, however, is inaccurate, explicable perhaps only as an attempt to counterbalance a contrasting simplification of his complicated biography: the marked tendency within Kafka scholarship to investigate his work exclusively in the context of German, Austrian or Prague-German literary history. The Czech socio-cultural impulses that surrounded Kafka in his native Prague have primarily figured in Kafka scholarship through sociological sketches portraying ethnic animosity, lack of communication and, at times, open violence between the two largest lin- guistic communities in the city. These historical realities have given rise to the persistent image of a ‘dividing wall’ between the Czech- and German- speaking inhabitants of Prague, with the two populations reading different newspapers, attending separate cultural institutions and congregating in segregated social venues. This image of mutual indifference or antagonism has often made the question of Kafka’s relation to Czech language and cul- ture appear peripheral. Yet confronting the perplexing blend of proximity and distance, famil- iarity and resentment which characterized inter-linguistic and inter- cultural contact in Kafka’s Prague is a necessary challenge.

    Derek Sayer ANDRÉ BRETON AND THE MAGIC CAPITAL: AN AGONY IN SIX FITS 1 After decades in which the Czechoslovak Surrealist Group all but vanished from the art-historical record on both sides of the erstwhile Iron Curtain, interwar Prague’s standing as the “second city of surrealism” is in serious danger of becoming a truth universally acknowledged.1 Vítězslav Nezval denied that “Zvěrokruh” (Zodiac), which appeared at the end of 1930, was a surrealist magazine, but its contents, which included his translation of André Breton’s “Second Manifesto of Surrealism” (1929), suggested otherwise.2 Two years later the painters Jindřich Štyrský and Toyen (Marie Čermínová), the sculptor Vincenc Makovský, and several other Czech artists showed their work alongside Hans/Jean Arp, Salvador Dalí, Giorgio De Chirico, Max Ernst, Paul Klee, Joan Miró, Wolfgang Paalen, and Yves Tanguy (not to men- tion a selection of anonymous “Negro sculptures”) in the “Poesie 1932” exhibition at the Mánes Gallery.3 Three times the size of “Newer Super-Realism” at the Wads- worth Atheneum the previous November – the first surrealist exhibition on Ameri- 1 Not one Czech artist was included, for example, in MoMA’s blockbuster 1968 exhibition “Dada, Surrealism, and Their Heritage” or discussed in William S.

    Yannis Ritsos and Czechoslovakia: Anthology of Czech and Slovak Poets

    GRAECO-LATINA BRUNENSIA 18, 2013, 1 TEREZA KESLOVÁ (MASARYK UNIVERSITY, BRNO) YANNIS RITSOS AND CZECHOSLOVAKIA: ANTHOLOGY OF CZECH AND SLOVAK POETS The aim of my contribution is to introduce the work of a Greek leftist poet Yannis Ritsos Anthology of Czech and Slovak Poets (Ανθολογία Τσέχων και Σλοβάκων Ποιητών). The impulse and inspiration for his work were his two visits to Czechoslovakia in the 1960’s. The book was published in 1966 in Greece, but almost all copies were destroyed at the behest of the contemporary ruling military junta. The anthology is unique not just in its creation, in which even Czechoslovak Writer’s Union took part, but more importantly it is unique for its content, because it introduces a wide, well-researched overview of Czech and Slovak poetry of the first half of the 20th century. Key words: modern greek literature, czech literature, slovak literature, translation, Ritsos, Anthology of Czech and Slovak Poets, Cold War cultural politics, Czechoslovak Writers’ Union Yannis Ritsos, a Greek leftist poet, worked on the Anthology of Czech and Slovak Poets1 during his two stays in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s. This monumental piece of work fell victim to the right-wing dictatorship in Greece and only a few copies survived. My modest goal is to introduce this unknown work of Ritsos. An in-depth analysis will be a part of my dis- sertation on Yannis Ritsos and his relationship to Czechoslovakia. Firstly, I will briefly mention Ritsos’ foray into translation, then I will move on to the main topic – the circumstances of creating this work, the content of the work, its contribution, and I will finish my lecture by outlining the basic incongruities and questions that arise when this work is studied closely.
