Course objectives
A socialistic realism is an important trend of the world culture in the 20th century. In the Czech literature it has appeared since the twenties in the works of the left-wing writers, but after 1948 it became the official tendency of all culture and the instrument of the cultural politics. It was signed by a dogmatic use of the main principles, by a silly taking of the soviet types and by non-respective the aesthetic function of the art and author's individuality. And it was the reason, why in the half of fifties the socialistic realism was in the inner crisis and outer circumstances made disengagement for a few years.
