The paper deals with some non-Czech literary reflections of Bohemia and its culture/cultures: in Central-European history the notion of Czech culture is not univocal and the perception of Czech Bohemia is not continual.

L'articolo esamina alcune riflessioni letterarie della Boemia in lingue diverse dal ceco. Nell'ambito della cultura centroeuropea la cultura ceca non ha una percezione e una definizione univoche e lineari. La Boemia è stata fin dall'epoca medioevale un centro di incontri e intersezioni, ma anche di scontri, conflitti e rimozioni. La letteratura conserva e ricostruisce, restituendo valori e tracce dall'oblio ma allo stesso tempo creando anche personaggi e luoghi fittizi che talora possono nascondere o cambiare personaggi e luoghi reali. Una Boemia illusoria, collocata altrove, emerge soprattutto nelle riflessioni letterarie tedesche.

Abstract
The paper deals with some non-Czech literary reflections of Bohemia and its culture/cultures: in Central-European history the notion of Czech culture is not univocal and the perception of Czech Bohemia is not continual. The region, situated in the same centre of Europe, since medieval times has been the theatre of crossings and encounters, as well as the scene of conflicts and removals. Literature preserves and restores, recalls traces and restitutes values from oblivion, creating at the same time fictional characters and places, which can conceal the real ones or at least change their nature and shape. An elusive Bohemia, located somewhere else, thus mythical, is frequent in its German literary reflections.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
