Academic lecture by Veronika Tuckerová (in English)
Kafka was mediated to Czech readers by translators; some also appropriated him through translations of their own, and others through walking in his footsteps in Prague. A highly mediated author (through translations and various strategies to help him „return“ to Prague), he was also apprehended with immediacy and perceived on „intimate“, or pre-theoretical terms (Havel). This talk draws on extensive research of Kafka’s reception in Czechoslovakia from 1920s to 1989, and highlights the legacies of multilingual and multicultural Prague.
