Music As A Sign
JAROLÍMOVÁ, Jana
The thesis is interested in the problem of musical sign. In which ways can we speak about musical sign and which elements of musical material can become signs? These are the basic questions which we are interested in. This thesis is divided into three parts. The first part attends to the common theory of sign. The historical survey with the main ideas of philosophers and thinkers will be helpful to find out basic terms and problems of semiotics. In the second part of thesis we look at the historical reflection of musical sign in order to find out in which way it was treated with music and musical sign in each historical period of European music. In the third part we focus on musical semiotics, but we will consider some problems of musical aesthetics and musical psychology, too. In the end we make recapitulation of answers to the aforesaid questions.

Arranged every five years at the initiative of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic Institute of Czech Literature, the congress brought together some 150 researchers from all over the world this year. Czech literature at the interface and the periphery deals with the personalities and forms involved in the occurrence of “otherness” in Czech literature: the boundaries of understanding “otherness”, problems of the emergence of “the other”, images of “the other” and the alternative cultural and geographical spaces of Czech literature. It looks in detail at authors who are neglected, not included or difficult to categorize, including Czechs beyond the borders. It also examines Czech-German, Czech-Austrian, Czech-Polish, Czech-Hungarian, Czech-Slovak and Czech-Jewish literary relations as well the “otherness” of particular works and characters, the context of Czech literature and translation, and the specifics of teaching Czech literature.

Saint Rosa
Malínek, Vojtěch
Obviously, young Czech poetry had become more and more influenced by the ascending communistic ideology after World War I, which resulted in its evident ideologization. The need for new „saints“ to be celebrated arised, satisfied by an „enthronization“ of the German communist Rosa Luxemburg in the Czech context. The paper starts with analyzing the reception of her personality in the leftist Czech press, following the activities of the communist organisation Proletkult that was trying to promote Luxemburg as an exemplary „communist saint“ early in the 1920s, and inquires into the representation of Luxemburg in the texts by leftist poets such as S. K. Neumann, J. Wolker and A. M. Píša. Eventually, a description of the gradual decline of the Luxemburg cult in the following years is given.
