Summary/Abstract: In this article the author looks at Daniela Hodrová’s Citlivé město: Eseje z mytopoetiky (2006) – ‘the history of the literature of urban texts, texts about cities, and texts about urban spaces’. He argues that the work reveals the influence of the Tartu school (mainly Yuri Lotman’s and Vladimír Toporov’s models of mythopoeia), which is, however, linked with Jung’s archetypology and psychopoetics. From this perspective too he analyzes all three parts of the book, and concludes that it is an original work on the history of literature.
