Learning outcomes
|
The discipline is divided into a working lecture (45 min) and a seminar (90 min). The lecture session will focus on the characteristics of the concept of literary experiment and its history and critical reception. Another aim will be to reflect on the procedures and mechanisms that determine in the perceptual consciousness what work is already experimental and what is not yet experimental, in the context of literary-historical phenomena such as modernism, avant-garde, etc. The seminar will analyse and interpret selected works of Czech literature of the 20th and 21st centuries, among other things, with reference to the relationship to tradition, against which each new artefact and the emerging generation defines itself, but also with regard to the contribution of experimental works in shaping contemporary aesthetic values or initiating their transformation.
Gaining knowledge in the European experimental literature of the 20th century.
