Summary/Abstract: The paper consists of two parts. In the first one the author focuses on obtaining methodologicaltools, which make it possible to oppose the rationalist modernist constructof history as „inevitable evolution“, where an individual human and his or her livinguniqueness, the concept aimed at revealing and emphasizing living uniqueness of existencedissolve. What becomes the tool for the author is the „principle of authenticity“formulated by Alessandro Ferrara and the effort to develop the „project of modernism“,which is presented by Miroslav Petříček. By employing the methodological apparatus,the other part of the paper is aimed at identifying poetics of presence (as modalityof event poetics), which was used to „show“ activities of subcultures in the space ofCzechoslovak culture after year 1948.
