Parallel Anatomy. Injurious Attachments and Discursive Emergence of Silence. “Missing” Gender in Czech Dissident Samizdat and Exile Literature of the 1970s and 1980s
Original language description
This article analyses a subliminal backlash against feminism, paradoxically within the cultural context that based its legitimacy in a discourse of human rights, namely the literary activities of the then anti-establishment, dissident activism in former pre-1989 Czechoslovakia. Employing the terms “injuring identities” and “wounded attachments” coined by Judith Butler and Wendy Brown, respectively, this article criticizes Czech dissident literature for the paradox of unproductive contradiction, arguing that while fully absorbed, constituted, and arguably blinded by its fight against the official regime, it ignored the gender oppression that it itself participated in. Focusing on Czech dissident and exile literary texts from the 1970s and 1980s, this article discusses the ways gender was silenced by interpellating readers through positive values, which were, however, at the same time wounding.
