Česko-slovenské haiku: Na príklade haiku Katky Soustružníkovej a Petra Kovalika
Czech-Slovak Haiku: On the Example of the Haiku by Katka Soustružníková and Peter Kovalik

Summary/Abstract: The paper applies a genological approach to assessing the Czech and Slovak variants of the Japanese art of haiku. The main focus is on haiku as a genre that is modified under the influence of time and the style of individual creators. The genre categories of the Japanese invariant are analyzed using the example of the Czech and Slovak haiku of Katka Soustružníková and Peter Kovalik. These authors represent the classical haiku, defined by rules stemming from the origins of Japanese aesthetics. The individual principles of this minimalist poetry are revealed not only with regard to the poetics of haiku, but also the authors’ individual styles. The paper thus implicitly points to the artistically com pelling realization of a genre invariant, which ultimately enriches domestic literature.
