Das Werk Miloš Martens und die Frage der Intertextualität — abgeschlossen
The Work of Miloš Martens and the Question of Intertextuality — completed
My project is a comparative analysis that relates the work of the Czech-speaking writer and critic Miloš Marten (1883-1917), who was an initiator between the metropolises of Prague and Paris, to contemporary German, French and English literature. Marten was described in 1917 by the influential critic FX Šalda as an epigone and plagiarist. Marten condemned his work as a "copy of late romantic western fiction", which was one of the reasons for the marginalization of Marten's work. Objectives of the dissertation is 1.) to explain this negative attitude in the literary context of the time and to analyze the so-called plagiarism debate - the critical disqualification of discourses (categories such as non-originality, epigone, plagiarism, imitation) 2.) to present the so-called concretization of Marten's work and the "Marten's paintings" in the history of literature 3.) to provide another interpretation of Marten's prose - "Cyklus rozkoše a smrti", "The cycle of pleasure and death" and "Pohádky a podobenství", dt. "The fairy tales and the parable" 4.) to analyze Marten's works linguistically through individual editorial departments. As a methodological basis, I use the discourse analysis, the impulses of the Prague school and the aesthetics of reception.
