Finished projects

The international interdisciplinary project called Art – Gesture – Argument approaches the artistic production during the First Czechoslovak Republic in various disciplines (literature, fine arts, theatre, film, music, etc.) from the perspective that artistic experience and interest are formed collectively. It focuses on the way art shapes public discourse and, conversely, how public debate intervenes in artistic poetics and form.

The aim of the project is to create an extensive monograph of Josef Škvorecký, conceived primarily as a biography of the author.

The project aims to create a synoptic overview of the development of the literatures of the Czech lands in the “long 19th century” in their interaction, conflictual relations and intermingling.

This project will examine how borders remain an important part of literary discourse in German-language literature after 2000, with an aim to better understand how they are represented, and what concepts they prefigure in the prose and dramatic works that cross them.
