Injurious attachments and dangerous culsde-sac: gendered reading and deconstructing “deconstructive” logic of selected early Czech novels by Milan Kundera
Original language description
Focusing on two early novels by Milan Kundera and drawing on the book penned by John O’Brien, Milan Kundera and Feminism: Dangerous Intersections, the author—while agreeing and admiring the logic and the argument put forward in the given book—aims at taking the analysis a step further. He postulates not a binary or dual-logic feminist reading of Milan Kundera’s (in this particular case, early, but by extension all his) novels, but a triple one. Thus, instead of apparent sexism and machismo to be overdrawn or overwritten by underlying feminist leanings in Kundera’s prose, as argued in O’Brien’s treatise, the author argues for the need to take a further step, pointing out Kundera’s sexism, misogyny and phallocentrism on the third, less obvious and palpable, but no less (if not even more) dangerous level. The author designates this insidious logic—having been inspired by the concepts of Wendy Brown and Judith Butler—by the term injurious attachments.
