Course objectives (in Czech)
Aussi évidente et répandue qu'elle soit, la notion de postmoderne est cependant loin d'ętre unanimement interprétée. Elle est également loin de se révéler comme un moyen utile pour commenter la littérature depuis les années 1980 jusqu'au début du XXIe s. Néanmoins, expliquée par Jean-François Lyotard comme "ré-écriture de la modernité" et dotée de l'apparence d'une anamnese de la modernité, elle s'avere suffisamment opérative lorsqu'elle est appelée a rendre compte de plusieurs tendances dans la littérature narrative contemporaine. Dans sa premiere partie, le ce cours magistral tentera d'opérer une mise en perspective historique du phénomene ainsi que de répertorier les divers aspects de la chose dans les différents domaines qu'elle a atteints, pour finalement aboutir a une définition générale reflétant aussi bien le côté philosophico-social et historique que la part des culture et littérature. Suivra un séminaire qui tentera de répertorier les phénomenes décrits précedemment dans les oeuvres des modernistes et des postmodernistes.
