| description | The term “demonism” in the history of Slovak literature usually concerns traditional opposition between city and village (literary naturism). The study shows different dimensions of that theme, which grow from “demonisation” of the world behind the “iron curtain”. It deals with conscious advent of new generation of writers in the second half of 50-tieth (Anton Hykisch, Jaroslava Blažková, Jozef Kot), problems of prohibition (auto-censorship and censorship) making everyday life a theme in that period, introducing the level of life facts and empiric experiences through an alternative genre of fine reportage (Ladislav Mňačko, Roman Kaliský, Dominik Tatarka, Alfonz Bednár). Impulses of everyday life, little civil stories, although civilism itself did not represent an aesthetic value, these impulses developed artistically in the 60-tieth, mainly in the literary pieces of Ján Johanides and in the works of following generation of authors of fiction. Experimenting with artistic material opened new dimensions of reality. The study applies the terminology of Vladimír Petrík. (Generational movements in literature of the second half of the 50-tieth, 1975), who used contemporary terms, names of contemporary “demons“, and that way he discerns reliably ideological and aesthetic criteria. |
