Procházka a kulturní vědy. Metody flanérie a fotografie Josefa Sudka || The Stroll and Cultural Sciences: Flânerie and Photography in Josef Sudek
Abstract
This article is based on my speech on the subject of Otokar-Fischer-Award and deals with the main theses of my dissertation on the flâneur in Czech literature. In several stages it develops the basic issues of literary flânerie and points to deviations from former understandings of the flâneur in literature. It emphasises the fruitfulness of Czech literature as basis of a general work on literary flânerie, and introduces related terms and concepts. All this is based not only on examples by Jan Neruda, Vítězslav Nezval and Michal Ajvaz, but also on photographs by Josef Sudek. The performative and transgressive motion of flânerie in media can thereby be performed by the reader.
