The Missed Search of Lost Time. Comments on the first Liblice Conference Franz Kafla aus Prager Sicht ("Franz Kafka in a Prague view") 1963
Abstrakt
The paper elaborates that the first Liblice Conference of 1963 "Franz Kafka in a Prague view" does not fulfil the requirements that are formulated by the title, but that at the conference only a hetaed quarrel took place about the question whether it is worthwile for communists to deal with Kafka's texts. Here, the affirmative position of Eduard Goldstücker, Ernst Fischer and Roger Garaudy was irreconcilable confronted with the position of the representatives of GDR-German studies, which vehemently refuted this.
Finally, it is made clear that the "version" of the entire Prague German literature, as it was then formulated on the second Liblice Conference, already dominated the Kafka conference and was in fact also entirely under Marxist conditions.
