Nobody and Nowhere: Notes of Absent Narration

Original language description

The problem of the nonlinear story or narrative of absence has been present in art for a long time, but today, in the context of a protracted crisis and the disintegration of certainties (progress, liberal democratic globalization, relative peace, etc.), it is gaining new meaning and intensity. The publication brings four original contributions on how not only to think about narratives of absence, but how to understand it as a creative strategy and response to the complexity of the contemporary world. Felice Moramarco deals with the crisis of modern subjectivity, i.e. the disintegrating idea of man or humanity as a fundamentally rational and historically progressive or universal actor. It is this disintegration that is the main historical-philosophical motif of the nonlinear story. Milan Mazúr and Viktor Takáč then present their work with this narrative. In Mazúr&apos;s contribution, we can observe a number of motifs, plots or moments, among which the experience of migrants has the main place and subjectivity is always in a certain (absent) intermediate space. Takáč&apos;s contribution presents a set of images from the game environment, which is again generally as a medium or in the author&apos;s specific design a collage of many seemingly unrelated objects, media, elements or perspectives. The book concludes with a game book by Václav Janoščík narrating human history as an interactive philosophical game of dynamics and concepts.
