| Description | The literary research of the personality of Terézia Vansová and her literary, publishing and enlightenment activities provides a fascinating image or more likely series of images of woman dedicated to, at least in a little, contribute to well-being of many, a woman with the deeply anchored values, she did not only defined for herself, but she also followed within her entire life; a woman very often alone and lonely, standing out of the literary, ideological and political mainstream, living her life on the geographical and social periphery of the contemporary Slovak public life; a female representant of the Slovak intelligentsia, however living in a close contact with the Slovak common people. It is apparent that the author fully considered the functional element of the literary communication on a line author-work-reader, therefore considering the literature as a means of the mass communication, the medium allowing transfer to the reader an information, which literary incorporation, processing, and final effect is in one hand determined by the author itself, however, on the other hand, the mere fact of the initialization of the communication link is conditioned by the attractivity of the work for the reader. Vansová’s view on the literature was on the one side pragmatic and utilitarian, on the other side she was fully aware that the thematic attractivity, compositional comprehensibility and esthetical impressiveness of a literary work for the target readership are mandatory preconditions for the effective fulfillment of its communication function. Vansová perceived the literary taste of her potential reader, adapt her literary efforts and used instruments to it – she popularized her production, while she also suitably incorporated, communicated and propagated the axiological context compatible with her values. Per analogy we could talk about Vansová’s bottom-up literary process, starting from a reader with a suppressed author subject in favor of preserving the communication momentum of a literary work. |
