Co si Vladimír Borecký poznat vůbec nepřál Lovec mašíblů před mašíblem mašíblů

Abstract

WHAT VLADIMÍR BORECKÝ DID NOT WISH TO KNOW: THE “MAŠÍBL” HUNTER IN FRONT OF “THE MAŠÍBL OF THE MAŠÍBLS” The text captures various misunderstandings that arose when the living author, František Novák from Lomnice nad Popelkou, became the subject of Vladimír Borecký’s professional interest in 2002. While Borecký was a respected scholar in the field of cultural studies, Novák’s linguistic and historical theories remained mere scientific nonsense, amusing from a certain point of view, but completely unacceptable. Borecký, however, did not want to ridicule Novák; on the contrary, he was able to read his texts as an expression of playfulness, and he placed their effect in the highest degree of the comic, which he described as “absurdity”, questioning all the certainties of our knowledge. But Novák became convinced that his groundbreaking scientific theories were as yet misunderstood.
