Prominent margin: Imagination of the Czech-German borderland in 19th and 20th century literature
Řezníková, Lenka
The study deals with the concept of the Czech-German "borderland" as a spatial, mental ad social figure participing in the construction of the ethnic (national and cultural) differences and of otherness in general. Interpreting 19th and 20th century Czech literary texts, it shows the main transformations of this concept, from the idea of language frontier (dominating in the 19th century) to representation of the border territory (in the 20th century) Underscoring the cultural and historical conditionality of the frontier as a social institution, and the influence of cartography for its socialization, the study focuses on the spatial and semiotic consequences of these transformations.
