Soup for poor children in satirical magazines
Hemelíková, Blanka
The study is concerned with the subject of poor people and charity, in a "disharmonic" line represented primarily by satirical texts in satirical magazines and in other periodical´s humour departments. Satire is employed there to confront the humanitarian ideal with its practical implementation in real life. There is evident the radicalization in the satirical perspective from approximately the 1890s until the outbreak of the First World World. Particular attention is devoted to Jaroslav Hašek and Josef Lada. Their output demonstrates that the antithesis of ideal versus reality came to be newly manifested not in terms of socially targeted satirical criticism, but rather as an implicit trait of an absurd world, involving in the cases of Hašek and Lada their methods of slapstick comedy and motifs of black humour, without an explicit moralizing message.
