A Theory of Fictive Worlds and Interpretation
Chaloupka, Tomáš ; Jedličková, Alice (advisor) ; Peterka, Josef (referee)
Cílem této práce je "operacionalizací" pojmů teorie fikčních světů prověřit interpretační potenciál této teorie. Zjišťujeme, nakolik nám umožní popsat uspořádání fikčních světů konstruovaných fantastickými prózami Julia Cortázara a Gabriela Garcíi Márqueze. Zabýváme se především otázkou, zda jsou to heterogenní světy, rozdělené do více nesourodých domén s odlišnými modálními podmínkami, nebo jeden hybridní světy, které v sobě integrují přirozené i nadpřirozené, a jaká je role fantastické události v jejich významové výstavbě. Márquezovy a Cortázarovy prózy jsou z hlediska výstavby fikčního světa odlišné. V Cortázarových fantastických povídkách dochází k setkání dvou neslučitelných soukromých světů, fantastická situace pak vzniká znejistěním hranice mezi textovým skutečným světem a virtuálním světem ve vědomí fikční osoby. Iracionálno je tu tedy jakousi hlubší dimenzí, kterou je dáno prožít jen disponovaným jedincům a která znejišťuje (avšak nepopírá, protože situace zůstává až do konce dvojznačná) náš jednoznačný výklad světa. Naproti tomu u Márqueze je nadpřirozeno jednoznačně součástí textového skutečného světa. Fikční svět jeho děl prošel vývojem. V dílech nejsilněji spjatých s poetikou magického realismu se přirozené a nadpřirozené prolínají v rámci jednoho nedělitelného světa a nadpřirozené neporušuje,...

On Description
Jedličková, Alice
There are probably not many readers who would cherish their memories of writing a description at school… Nevertheless, hardly anyone would deny that we cannot do without descriptions in everyday face-to-face dialogues – though only a few of us may be able to reflect on the process of describing, and to judge to what extent it is influenced by the circumstances surrounding communication. The essay on “absent description” by Jana Hoffmannová provides an insight into everyday speech, as well as an opportunity for linguistic self-reflection. Linguistics is only one of the disciplines present in this volume: nine representatives of various fields of research and theories are brought together here to discuss the issue of description: analytic philosophy and fictionality theory, linguistics and literary history, art history and intermedia theory. Petr Koťátko discusses the relationship between the communicational functions of descriptions and their function in the structure of fictional worlds of literature. While he employs realist descriptions to illustrate the limits of their identificatory work, various descriptive modes provide a parameter for Ivana Taranenková to pursue the development of realist writing. Hardly any reader will doubt the fact that every fiction has its own more or less overt (or covert) narrator. Nevertheless, it remains to be proved whether there is a corresponding “descriptor” in descriptions: an attempt at doing so in the context of Czech fiction is made by Stanislava Fedrová. The possibilities of employing descriptive forms as a tool of poetics (be it the historical or the intermedia one) are put to the test by Zdeněk Hrbata (in his interpretation of the generic schemes underlying Gautier’s novel Le Capitaine Fracasse, and Emma Tornborg, who focuses on poetic ekphrasis.

Experientiality: does it divide or link description and narration?
Jedličková, Alice
The paper revisits the – in the scholarly discourse for various reasons time and again rejected – differentiation between description and narration arguing in its favour, hoping to illuminate its usefulness in the analyses of both literary narratives and those produced by other media, as well as to pave the way for papers focusing on ekphrasis and its aspects such as temporality, perspectivization and intermedia functions.

Metaphors of memory
Jedličková, Alice
The author of the essay observes the frequent occurence of the notion of memory in the work of the exiled writer Sylvie Richterová, while paying particular attention to the fiction Slabikář otcovského jazyka, where it is represented in a plethora of metaphors which include aspects both of the individual and the cultural memory.

Intermedia poetics (of landscape)
Jedličková, Alice
After surveying the current state of literary and cultural studies which may contribute to intermedia research, the author suggests a literature-centred intermedia poetics of landscape, involving inter-art concepts introduced by Mary Ann Caws, Tamar Yacobi and incentives for landscape observation as given by literary critics and art historians such as Malcolm Andrews and Michael Charlesworth. Particular aspects of the suggested poetics are illustrated by examples of analysis of Czech fiction (Karel Václav Rais, Alois Jirásek and Martin Fibiger).

Arranged every 5 years at the initiative of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic Institute of Czech Literature, the congress brought together some 150 researchers this year. World intermedia studies research has developed from case studies into initial syntheses, while in the Czech context it still has slight symptoms of "otherness". Studies contained in this collection deal with analyses into the crossing of media boundaries within the framework of authorial poetics, within individual works and between semiotic systems: the problematization of film and radio adaptations of literary works, comics, ekphrasis and other thematizations of the fine arts or musical motifs in literature, the relationship between drama and theatre stagings and the representation of reality and the procedures of other media in literary texts.
