History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe
The third volume in the History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe focuses on the making and remaking of those institutional structures that engender and regulate the creation, distribution, and reception of literature. The focus here is not so much on shared institutions but rather on such region-wide analogous institutional processes as the national awakening, the modernist opening, and the communist regimentation, the canonization of texts, and censorship of literature. These processes, which took place in all of the region’s cultures, were often asynchronous and subjected to different local conditions. The volume’s premise is that the national awakening and institutional...
History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe: Types and stereotypes
"Types and stereotypes" is the fourth and last volume of a path-breaking multinational literary history that incorporates innovative features relevant to the writing of literary history in general. Instead of offering a traditional chronological narrative of the period 1800-1989, the "History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe" approaches the region s literatures from five complementary angles, focusing on literature s participation in and reaction to key political events, literary periods and genres, the literatures of cities and sub-regions, literary institutions, and figures of representation. The main objective of the project is to challenge the self-enclosure of national li...

University Jubilees and University History Writing
Researching and writing its history has always been one of the tasks of the university, particularly on the occasion of anniversary celebrations. Through case studies of Prague (1848, 1948), Oslo (1911), Cluj (from 1919), Leipzig (2009) and Trondheim (2010), this book shows the continuity of the close relationship between jubilees and university historiography and the impact of this interaction on the jubilee publications and academic heritage. Up to today, historians are faced with the challenge of finding a balance between an engaged, celebratory approach and a more distant, academically critical one. In its third part, the book aims to go beyond the jubilee and presents three other ways of writing university history, by focusing on the university as an educational institution. Contributors are: Thomas Brandt, Pieter Dhondt, Marek Ďurčanský, Jonas Flöter, Jorunn Sem Fure, Trude Maurer, Emmanuelle Picard, Ana-Maria Stan and Johan Östling.
Censorship of Literature in Austria, 1751-1848
The influence of censorship on the intellectual and political life in the Habsburg Monarchy during the period under scrutiny can hardly be overstated. This study examines the institutional foundations, operating principles, and results of the censorial activity through analysis of the prohibition lists and examination of the censors themselves. The effects of censorship on the authors, publishers, and booksellers of the time are illustrated with the help of contemporary documents. Numerous case studies focus on individual works forbidden by the censors: Romanticists like Ludwig Tieck and E. T. A. Hoffmann and even authors of classic German literature like Wieland, Goethe, and Schiller saw their works slashed, as did writers of popular French and English novels and plays. An annex documents the most important regulations along with a selection of censorial reports.
Smrt a zmrtvýchvstání národa
Slavín jako fenomén, jako krystalizační bod dobového národního diskursu, v němž se přítomnost obrací k minulosti a v němž se na symbolické rovině v dlouhém 19. století konstruuje, vyjednává, formuje a legitimizuje národ a s ním spjatá podoba sociální reality – Slavín na Vyšehradě přitom zdaleka není první a jedinou národní svatyní. České národní slavíny mají své evropské obdoby a vzory. Ve snech o Slavíně i v jeho konkretizacích tak lze sledovat variabilitu a proměny představ národního společenství. Monografie se věnuje také narativu smrti a zmrtvýchvstání národa na pozadí části českých slavínů; pohřby a národními pomníky pak tento narativ vstoupil také do veřejného prostoru města. Kniha neopomíná funkční a kompoziční přesahy mezi architektonickými, performativními a literárními formami Slavína.
