Marginal literature at the edge of the law. On the dispute over "trash and obscenity" (not only) during the First Republic
Pavlíček, Tomáš
This study is concerned with the problem of the law against "trash literature" and pornography in the First Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1938). It also focuses on the situation in Germany and the processes that influenced ideas regarding the necessity of similar legal norms. They are to be found in the expanding range on offer of popular literature, critical reflection on differences between popular and elite literature and the activity of the adult education movement. In Germany a large number of the books mentioned above was banned. However, in the Czech milieu no specific law was passed against "trash literature" and pornography. Part of the so-called small press law (1933) with relevant instructions was not implemented. The difference in the results of the process in Germany and Czechoslovakia were connected with the distribution of power inside and outside the literary field and the relationship of this field to the political field.
