Anotace
The lecture provides a history of literary and cultural life in Central Europe with an emphasis on the phenomenon of two women writers with two cultural identities in Prague in the first half of the 20th century. In lectures we will focus on the Slovene-Croat writer and the feminist Zofka Kveder (1878–1926, in Prague from 1900–1906)) and on the Serbian writer and the feminist Julka Chlapec-Djordjević (1882–1969, in Prague from 1922–1945). Both South
Slavic women writers and feminists were also cultural nomads and mediators with more language identities, connected to Czech feminist movement. They lived in Prague – the place for European modernism and avant- garde in the first half of the 20th Century. In their position and reception they experienced the tradition of Slavic solidarity and reciprocity still present in the Czech society in the first half of 20 Century. Both of them were active in the Czech culture and society and very much inspired by it also in their literary work. We will analyse the cultural context, their literary work, the reception of it and the images of the Czech culture in their literary work.
