Popis / Abstract:
The author of the study Town as a medium of the model of existence of a man deals with the topos of the town, becoming a part of the literature mainly in the form of various symbols and allegories. The topos of the town as an elementary structural pattern draws attention to new, often changing correlations of thematological plan and a figurative, metaphorical form. It itself implies spacial-temporal, evaluating and inter-textual moment. Only in the literature between the wars and after 1945 only in 60th the topos of the town and urban themes were being more radically exceeding (Blažková, Jaroš, Sloboda, Johanides, Hykish, later Ballek, Vilikovský, Vášová, Mitana, Puškáš, Grendel and others). There is a permanent interaction between the town and its spacial structure and influencing a man by the space. It is reflected in an artistic picture of a life space and deeper levels of consciousness of epic characters. Through the topos of the town E. Jenčíková interprets a protagonist of Sloboda´s novel Rozum (1982). He moves and “lives” in two life spaces (a city as a centre and a provincial town as a periphery). The author’s analysis of the text shows the fact that Sloboda intentionally modelled the centre and the periphery, the city and the countryside in a way “to be merged” and ”re-grouped”. Cancelling of this binary opposition became a part of the well-built strategy of the author. Focusing on negative connotations of the topos of the city and the countryside, their functional inserting in a composition into the deeper sujet-motivic textual structures helped the author to create metaphorical picture of ”unhealthy” totalitarian society and at the same time a model existence of a person in the state of total listlessness.
