To some aspects of the Ondruš ´s book of poems Mužské korenie (A male pepper after) three decades
Abstract
The author of the text takes attention to the “jubilee commemorated “ book of poems by Ján Ondruš Mužské korenie po troch desaťročiach (A male pepper after three decades), mainly to the final poetic composition Chodec po povraze (A walker on the rope). The poem brings a special problems of interpretation. The contribution itself is not intended to overcome the frame of lightly proceeding, consequently successive description of developing interpretative record, a free interpretative sketch – with the use or “functional usage” of some basic knowledge from the philosophical conception of Emmanuel Lévinas. The contribution could be understood as an attempt to reconstruct the model semiosis of one the most “enigmatist “ poetic texts of J. Ondruš, it is going to be a “presentation” of possible reception-interpretative process with the help of all explanative improvisation and methodological- ananlytic “openness”. In this similarity the mentioned text represents just a “presumption”, “preliminary-descriptive” phase of the literary theory research and an issue of possible systematic and methodological consequent conclusions is still open.
