L'articolo individua alcune declinazioni del tema del lavoro nella poesia ceca moderna e contemporanea, da quello ideale e vicino ai movimenti socialisti di fine Ottocento, a quello ideologico nella seconda metà del Novecento caratterizzata dal totalitarismo, a quello civile nella poetica di alcune personalità di grande rilievo (ad esempio in Bohumil Hrabal, Jiřina Hauková, Jan Zahradníček, Jan Skácel); introduce una vasta antologia di traduzioni dal ceco di testi poetici di autori vari, in gran parte inediti in italiano (pp. 93-118).

Abstract
The paper presents the theme of work in Czech modern and contemporary poetry, tracking its path since its occurrence in the context of XIXth century socialist movements, through its misuse and distortion during the communist era. The ideological connotation in this poetry, although predominating, is not the only one: other declinations of the subject, signalizing its presence in anti-ideological contexts and independent poetics, are examined in the paper and shown in the anthology of twenty poems translated into Italian which follows.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
