Abstract

The study focuses on recapitulation of the development and recent state of the discussion about postmodernist tendencies in Czech fiction and historiography after 1989. In the introduction, the author tries to define the basic characteristics of postmodernism and to clarify its position in Slavic literary culture. Then he tries to describe the debates about postmodernism in Czech academic and publicistic communication and takes into account their variability – the author submits a three-phase scheme framed by the background of the past three decades. While Czech historians remain distrutsful of postmodern thinking, Czech literary scholars have been researching postmodernism from different angles continuously.
