This course focuses on Czech and Czechoslovak literature of the last ten decades, which includes various genres such as prose, poetry, and drama. We examine how Czech history influences and inspires literature, and how literature in turn influences social and political events. The class includes a seminar component where specific texts are interpreted together and an online exhibition is created in the Exhibition Indihu environment. The course content is regularly renewed and it is possible to enroll repeatedly..
