In the Czech appropriation of the literary genre splatterpunk, political correctness, or more precisely the lack of it, occupies a prominent place. Fascination with so-called ‘incorrectness’ can be ...understood to be a special case of what Richard Burt identifes as ‘the fetish of censorship’ with writers drawing from the appeal of such ‘forbidden’ topics as racial and gender stereotypes. Tis paper examines the ways in which the criticism of correctness plays out in diferent forms of paratexts, such as ads, reviews, and interviews with writers. Te analysis of Czech splatterpunk novels and short stories reveals what is actually understood as ‘incorrect’ in terms of literary fction, and how those texts, featuring primarily white masculine heroes with indestructible bodies, lend themselves to diferent kinds of readings: from sharp political satire to self-refective spectacular grotesque.
In diesem Band werden Erinnerungsnarrative in Literatur, Fernsehen, Film, Fotografie und musealen Ausstellungen untersucht, die einerseits transmedial greifen, andererseits die Vergangenheit/en in ...Zentraleuropa auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise national und/oder transnational erzählen und de/konstruieren. Dabei werden auch die Verwobenheit zwischen verschiedenen Medien und Fragen nach dem Verständnis des Trans-/Nationalen diskutiert.
This study examines Štěpán Kopřiva’s detective novel Rychlopalba (Rapid Fire) in terms of criticism of political correctness, which is a prominent motif in the author’s literary output. The kontext ...of the novel consists of of Czech action fantasy literature, with which Kopřiva has been associated over the long-term, snd the detective genres which he utilizes: the American hardboiled fiction (and its Czech equivalent) and Nordic detective stories, i.e. genres critically assessed and at the same time very much socially engaged. From this standpoint Rapid Fire is the product of cultural transfer, in which the socially sensitive subjects of Nordic detective stories are transformed into the form of a critique of political correctness as a substantial menace to civilization and an obstacle to a key element in detective literature – the crime investigation.
