Poetika „ďábelského“ na hranici mezi děsivým blouzněním a groteskním šklebem: nad prózami bulharského diabolismu (2. část)
The Poetics of the “Devilish” on the Border between Terrifying Delirium and Grotesque Grin (On the Prose of Bulgarian Diabolism - Part 2)

Summary/Abstract: This study continuously follows on from the 1st part of the work of the same name, which focused primarily on the literary-historical definition of Bulgarian diabolism. In this continuation, its roughly one-hundred-year existence is divided into the peak period (the “founding four” - Minkov, Polyanov, Raychev and Mutafov - also include its companions: Dimităr Hadzhiliev [1895–1960], Aleksandăr Panicherski [?–?], Konstantin Gălăbov [1892–1980], Aleksandăr Karparov [1904–1983] and Yasen Valkovski [née Asen Vălkadinov] and on neodiabolical inspirations (Dragomir Asenov [1926–1981]), Boris Hristov [*1945], Krasimir Damyanov [1948–2015], Viktor Paskov [1949–2009], Nataliya Andreeva [*1955], Emiliya Dvoryanova [*1958], Alek Popov [1966–2024]). The study deals in more detail with current research tasks related to the research of unknown or neglected personalities of Bulgarian diabolism. Thanks to the playfulness and “welcoming currents” of postmodernism, diabolism has not yet been exhausted in Bulgarian literature, and thus, in new variations and metamorphoses, it can participate in the shaping of contemporary fiction, but also poetry and drama in the future.
