Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to clarify Czech-German literary relations through the example of selected literary works after 1945, when the German-speaking minority was displaced from Bohemia and Moravia and thus the immediate and long-term cultural ties were forcibly severed. Literary ties will be monitored especially after 1968, when, due to the political situation in occupied Czechoslovakia, there was a wave of emigration of authors to the German-speaking area (Jiří Gruša, Ota Filip), as well as the departure to the German-speaking area of those who chose German as their literary language only abroad (Libuše Moníková). Attention will be paid to the Czech-German intertextual relations not only in selected literary works, but also to the language of authors of Czech origin who consciously work with Czech elements, phrases and turns of phrase in their German-language texts, thus 'alienating' the German-language text and creating, in a sense, an 'intercultural' language. Intermedia overlaps (music, film) are also part of this.
The student is well versed in Czech-German literary relations after 1945, especially after 1968, and is familiar with Czech-German intertextual relations in the works of authors of Czech origin, as well as their linguistic peculiarities or intermedial overlaps.
