‘Intentionality and Unintentionality in Art’: Jan Mukařovský’s ‘Pre-Post-Structuralism’, 1940–43

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper aims to discuss Jan Mukařovský’s article “On Intentionality and Unintentionality in Art” in the context of a possible (post)post-structuralist paradigm, stressing his dichotomy of the work of art as a sign (standing for conventional or default works of art) on one hand vs his radical understanding of the work of art as a thing on the other. According to Mukařovský, the work of art as a thing stands out unpredictably when a literary text ceases to make unified sense as a communicative sign and starts to appear as an incomprehensible, silent, mute thing instead, thus radically provoking readers’ interpretative efforts. Mukařovskýʼs text was originally delivered as a talk in 1943 at a Prague Linguistic Circle session and was only published 23 years later in 1966 (and in English translation by Peter Steiner in 1977), while the notion of a fissure occurred in his manuscripts even a few years earlier. Comparing it to works by, among others, Roland Barthes and Gilles Deleuze (and discussing Mukařovskýʼs work also in the context of thinking of his student, Milan Jankovič, namely Jankovič’s work from the late 60s), the article aims to point out that Mukařovskýʼs text at hand had foreshadowed post-structuralist literary theory by almost three decades.
