| Description | The goal of this work is to explore how discontinuity, respectively continuity, is represented in prozaic texts referring to two legal Czechoslovak regimes which are historically separated by sequence of events generally known as The Velvet Revolution. Prosaic text communicates particular historical experience using certain form of phenomenological reduction with which the author plays down phenomena considered as irrelevant and emphasizes phenomena considered as the most essential. The prism of literary field allows us to see how a literary work reflects socio-historical phenomena in broader context – in which way the dis/continuity discourse circulates between cultural artifacts and social sphere. By appropriate employing of discursive analysis I will be able to trace out deep cultural meanings hidden within the literary pieces of Czech postcommunist production and investigate Czech postcommunist transition from the sphere of deeper cultural structures. |
