Demons and monsters of contemporary Czech prose (in selected works of fiction by Miloš Urban)
Original language description
The paper deals with the forms of demons and monsters in contemporary Czech postmodern gothic fiction, especially in selected works of prose by Miloš Urban. Attention will be paid not only to the typology of demons, who may in this type of texts play an ambiguous role due to the genre syncretism, but also to their function within the narrative. In fact, fully in keeping with the intentions of the postmodern gothic fiction, may the demons and monsters cease to play a mere role of a terrifying or supernatural element and give evidence more about the problem of loss of individual identity in contemporary society or about blurring the boundaries between the Good and the Evil and the Barbaric and the Civilized. The paper will also attempt to answer the question why we have in these days such a tendency to inundate our imagination (and not only in literary forms) with so many stories including demons, monsters and other spectres and to what purpose such cultural approach serves.
