Jiří Hoppe Motto: „Co by se bylo stalo, kdyby bratrská pomoc neotevřela cestu k naší dnešní liberální svobodě? To nikdo neví. Mně však po letech, stejně jako tenkrát, pořád při- padá mimo diskusi, že svoboda slova, svoboda shromažďování, politický pluralismus, skutečné odbory atd. – to všechno bylo, byť s různými závorkami a uvozovkami, v Čes- koslovenském jaru zapsáno – znamenají konec komunismu, jsou s ním neslučitelné. Že si někteří mysleli a dodnes myslí, že s ním slučitelné jsou, je jejich věc a podle mého omyl. Daleko správněji to pochopil Brežněv, když pravil, že tohle je konec socialismu. A. J. Liehm: Minulost v přítomnosti (Brno: Host 2002, s. 58) Historička Jitka Vondrová před pěti lety v pořadu České televize Historie.cs řek- la, že se rok 1968 nesmírně politizuje. Osmašedesátý se podle ní politizoval už ve své době a politizoval se i těsně po roce 1989, kdy se tím chtělo zabránit nástu- pu (domnělých či skutečných? – pozn. J. H.) osmašedesátníků k moci, takže „se tam nanášely mýty a mýty“.1 Je to vlastně pochopitelné, neboť kolotavý a vnitřně i zahraničněpoliticky rozporuplný osmiměsíční proces, který záhy v zahraničí po- jmenovali „pražské jaro“, násilně přerušila invaze vojsk Varšavské smlouvy. Aktéři pražského jara, a myslím tím všechny tehdejší dospělé Čechy a Slováky, nebyli a ani nemohli být na takový vývoj připraveni, neboť skoro všechno, co se v Československu událo, přišlo neočekávaně. Nikdo také nemohl počítat s faktorem krátkého času, s pouhými osmi měsíci intenzivního a náhle ukončeného prožívání pocitu, že Češi a Slováci „pádlují ve vlastní kanoi“.2 I po pětačtyřiceti letech leží na stole (po- někud ahistorická) otázka, kam a jak bychom v tehdejším prudkém a klikatém proudu událostí dopádlovali. Jakkoli dnes každý historik pokoušející se promýšlet 1 Historie.cs, vysíláno 3. ledna 2008, dostupné on-line na: http://www.ceskatelevize.cz/po- rady/10150778447-historie-cs/208452801400001-osmasedesaty/video/. Podobně se vy- jádřil i historik Jan Pauer. Viz PAUER, Jan: Der Streit um das Erbe des „Prager Frühlings“. In: KARNER, Stefan – TOMILINA, Natalja – TSCHUBARJAN, Alexander a kol. (eds.): Prager Frühling. Das internationale Krisenjahr 1968. Sonderband 9/1, Beiträge. Köln, Böhlau Ver- lag 2008, s. 1206. 2 Citovaný obrat použil britský velvyslanec v Praze William Barker v jednom ze svých rapor- tů. Blíže viz HOPPE, Jiří: Britský pohled na „pražské jaro“. In: Soudobé dějiny, roč. 7, č. 3 (2000), s. 347. 5 Pražské jaro ’68. Bibliografi e a interpretovat pražské jaro může zajít do více či méně (ale spíš více) otevřených archivů nebo sáhnout po vynikajících edicích pramenů,3 nakonec je s touto otázkou konfrontován. Stejně jako už v roce 1976 kanadský historik Harold Gordon Skil- ling, který závěr své rozsáhlé devítisetstránkové práce nazval Reform, Revolution, or Counterrevolution?4 Skilling přitom odpovídal záměrně nejednoznačně, neboť různé úhly pohledu na pražské jaro 1968 vykazují znaky všech tří uvedených sys- témových změn či dokonce jejich kombinace. Jelikož se pražské jaro 1968 stalo hned po své porážce objektem mimořádného zájmu humanitně orientovaných vědců a objektem politizace, jak o tom mluví Jitka Vondrová, je odborná literatura o jeho dějinách nesmírně rozsáhlá. Pro ilustraci uvádím, že po zadání klíčového sousloví „Prague Spring 1968“ do fulltextové data- báze vědecké literatury ProQuest se zájemci zobrazí více než jedenáct a půl tisíce záznamů. Protože takové kvantum literatury nemůže jeden člověk prostudovat, zpřehlednit ji pomáhaly a pomáhají některé specializované bibliografi e5, včetně té, kterou právě držíte v ruce. Je také zřejmé, že při jakémkoli pokusu o rekapitulaci tak bohaté odborné produkce se badatel neobejde bez cílené a ostře zjednodušu- jící selekce. Náš dnešní pohled na pražské jaro nemůže nebýt ovlivněn současnou realitou, která by se dala označit jako „demokratická“ a jež v zásadě vychází ze zastupitelské demokracie a konstitucionalismu, z trhu se soukromým vlastnictvím, z oddělení státní správy a samosprávy, z odlišení veřejného a soukromého práva, z autonomie sociálních věd, z kulturní postmoderny a z individuální sociální od- povědnosti. Naopak komunistický režim defi novaly konstanty dané v hospodářství plánováním a společenským vlastnictvím, v politické oblasti tzv. demokratickým centralismem a vedoucí úlohou strany, v právní oblasti třídním pojetím justice, v oblasti vědy marxismem-leninismem jako základem společenských věd, v kulturní 3 Ediční řada Prameny k dějinám československé krize v letech 1967–1970 vydávaná péčí Ústavu pro soudobé dějiny čítá ke dnešnímu dni přes dvacet svazků.

Kohout, author of Poor Murderer and the model for the hero of Tom Stoppard's Dogg's Hamlet, Cahoot's Macbeth, left his native Czechoslovakia with his wife Jelena last October 28 to serve as director of the Burgtheater in Vienna. The Czechoslovak authorities granted them a one-year exit visa on the understanding that Kohout would avoid political activity while he was abroad. On his arrival in Vienna Kohout stated that, while he did not renounce anything he had said or writ­ ten in Czechoslovakia, he preferred to speak out on political matters in his home­ land. While he was abroad, he said,.he looked forward to attending the opening of productions of some of his plays and to the publication of his novel The Hangwoman (banned in Czechoslovakia, but to be put out in English by G. P. Putnam's Sons early next year). On October 4, three weeks before the expiry of their visa, Kohout and his wife drove to the Austro-Czechoslovak border at Nová Bystřice.

  • Symposium Remembering Prague Spring 1968
    SYMPOSIUM Introduction to the Symposium Remembering Prague Spring 1968 In the year of the 50th anniversary of the Czechoslovak reform process of 1968, the Czech Sociological Review has invited sociologists and political scientists from various parts of the world to reflect on the place of the Prague Spring in their bi- ographies, both private and academic, and its political significance then and now. With a view to capturing personal memories of those events, the majority of the authors who were invited to contribute to this symposium were born before 1950. The intention was to compose as variegated a set of reflections as could reason- ably be expected—representing different countries, different political positions, and different disciplinary traditions: East as well as West, but also East-and-West in the case of émigré scholars; the various currents within the student movement; Marxism, social democracy, and liberalism; social and political theory and em- pirical research, and so on. The twelve authors who have kindly contributed pa- pers form a fairly heterogeneous group, as each one of them occupies a unique position in relation to the others within the—national or international—political and academic field. Each paper allows the reader to see the Prague Spring in a different light and from a different angle that reflects the specific features of the author’s biography. Achieving this kind of pluralism was one of the main goals behind the project for this symposium. But it is also true that the range of per- spectives included herein could be much broader yet. For instance, there is no voice from any Czech or Slovak who directly participated in the 1968 reform in Czechoslovakia, as, sadly, these participants, at least among sociologists, are no longer alive.

  • CHAPTER 1 Introduction This Study of World Literature Begins Where Many
    CHAPTER 1 Introduction This study of world literature begins where many do: with Goethe, but then it will go backwards from Goethe before it goes forward. The term world literature itself derives from Goethe’s neologism Weltliteratur, recorded by his personal secretary Johann Peter Eckermann from a conversation one night over dinner: “National literature is now rather an unmeaning term; the epoch of World-literature is at hand, and everyone must strive to hasten its approach” (165). The newness of the term is evidenced in John Oxenford’s 1930 translation by the hyphenation that brings the compound concept over from German into English. World literature is now a commonplace in English, although what exactly it is remains a matter of debate, allowing for such titles as David Damrosch’s book in 2003: What Is World Literature? But what Goethe means by world literature or what “we” mean by world literature today is not entirely my concern here—at least not yet—and this is where I go backwards from his neologism. In Eckermann’s account, the conversation in which Goethe lets slip the word that will create a new field of study begins thus: “Within the last few days, since I saw you,” said he, “I have read many things; especially a Chinese novel, which occupies me still and seems to me very remarkable.” “Chinese novel!” said I; “that must look strange enough.” “Not so much as you might think,” said Goethe; “the Chinamen [sic] think, act, and feel almost exactly like us…” (164) 1 Goethe goes on to explain the similarities and differences he finds between the “us” he refers to and Chinese writing and culture it represents, drawing connections between the Chinese text he has read and his own Hermann and Dorothea as well as the novels of Richardson and the Chansons de Béranger.
