This approach appears to be useful in interpreting some lyrical passages in which the contemporary reader may easily miss the semantic role of the acoustic dimension of the passage. However, my review essay discusses in detail how, apart from some interesting partial observations, the author fails in all the main ways, turning a partial interpretation into a general statement about the genre of tragedy as a whole. The author’s general thesis is modelled on the artificial oppositions of aulos — lyre, Apollo — Dionysos, which point to another artificial scheme, created by Nietzsche in The Birth of Tragedy , rather than to the poetic-performative culture of classical Greece. The author’s following of this scheme leads in the end to a misinterpretation of the specific passages from the tragedies on which she builds her interpretation.","PeriodicalId":36776,"journal":{"name":"Svet Literatury","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49122080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.

Firstly, it is compared from the point of view of philosophical pragmatism, especially from the search for continuity overcoming the dualism of art and life. Secondly, the attention is focused on the dual character of mirroring in Borecký’s key concept. Subsequently, the network of standards, norms, and criteria that a rational critical debate about the meaning and value of the work of these extraordinary figures always presupposes is described. Finally, the author conceptualizes the nature of “strange works” in terms of one of the contemporary definitions of art, the American philosopher Alva Noë’s concept of artworks as “strange tools.”","PeriodicalId":36776,"journal":{"name":"Svet Literatury","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44135502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
