O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o conceito de kitsch como conceito estético e ontológico na perspectiva teórica da Epistemologia do Romance. Para a Epistemologia do Romance, a palavra kitsch é associada ao pensamento de Milan Kundera acerca do que ele chama de necessidade da mentira embelezante para satisfação de si. A Epistemologia do Romance ampara-se à ideia kunderiana de ocultação da “merda” como um ideal estético do ser em que o kitsch, como forma estética da negação de questões da condição humana, lida com aquilo que Hermann Broch define como ausência de reflexão ética no contexto da estética, fomentado pela necessidade do efeito estético agradável. Para a Epistemologia do Romance, o kitsch é a forma estética do idílio. Buscando assim uma falsa beleza e harmonia que trouxesse uma sensação de paz e fim da tragédia.

The author of the article examines a phenomenon associated with a certain – today increasingly common – attitude in life that may be described, in most simple terms, as the marriage of non-authenticity with imitationism. The author focuses her attention on feelings of love (as particularly ‘acute’ and, at the same time, probably most mythologized), or rather on their literary depiction, which allows for an accurate diagnosis of the sensitivity typical of a consumer society obsessed with money, subject to the dictates of mass media and under pressure from the ideals and ideas of pop culture. A diagnosis of this kind comes in the form of Jacek Dehnel’s short story Miłość korepetytora (The Private Tutor’s Love) which, together with three other stories, comprises the volume Balzakiana (Balzaciennes) (2008). The young Polish writer, attempting to diagnose the condition of the Polish society after the political transformation of 1989, makes a conscious reference to the distant tradition of realistic prose from the legacy of Honoré de Balzac. As for the review of the sphere of individual feelings and emotions falsified by various stereotypes and abstract ideas, one can also look to a tradition closer to Dehnel: namely the only novel of Karol Irzykowski entitled Pałuba (The Hag) (1903). The author of the article shows some similarities between the Young Poland concept of ‘successive-world phenomena’ and the contemporary vision of determining the emotional sphere through pop culture templates with the underlying experience of romantic elation. References to the diagnoses of Abraham Moles, Milan Kundera and Hermann Broch allow for highlighting the issues of ‘exaltation as a replacement of spirituality’ and kitsch as ‘our daily aesthetic and morality’.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o conceito de kitsch como conceito estético e ontológico. Perpassamos pelo seu significado etimológico e histórico através da perspectiva de Abraham Moles; caracterizamos os 4 tipos de kitsch na ótica da pesquisadora Sêga: imitação, exagero, ocupar um espaço errado e perda da função original; aprofundamos o olhar ético de Hermann Broch acerca do estilo kitsch como má arte e concluímos o estudo com a perspectiva de Milan Kundera, em que o autor tcheco conceitua como um aspecto de negação da “merda” humana, ou seja, kitsch seria a tentativa humana de ignorar as próprias fragilidades e sombras existenciais. Buscando assim uma falsa beleza e harmonia que trouxesse uma sensação de paz e fim da tragédia.

Die Schlafwandler

El propósito del presente estudio consiste en analizar la noción de "ensayo específicamente novelesco" desarrollada por Milan Kundera en sus ensayos. Dicha noción aparece por primera vez en L'art du roman (1986) ligada a la lectura que Kundera propone de Die Schlafwandler de Hermann Broch y se nutre de la concepción de la novela como instrumento de conocimiento del escritor austríaco. Los desplazamientos semánticos y las modificaciones, operadas por Kundera para adaptar la poética de Broch a su idea de novela, dan lugar a una concepción de la función del ensayo en la novela que permite entender este género como una forma de reflexión alternativa al modelo científico o filosófico de pensamiento.

The Impact

A Rhetorics of the Word is the second volume of a three-part philosophy of Christian life. It approaches Christian life as expressive of a divine calling or vocation. The word Church (ekklesia) and the role of naming in baptism indicate the fundamental place of calling in Christian life. However, ideas of vocation are difficult to access in a world shaped by the experience of disenchantment. The difficulties of articulating vocation are explored with reference to Weber, Heidegger, and Kierkegaard. These are further connected to a general crisis of language, manifesting in the degradation of political discourse (Arendt) and the impact of new communications technology on human discourse. This impact can be seen as reinforcing an occlusion of language in favour of rationality already evidenced in the philosophical tradition and technocratic management. New possibilities for thinking vocation are pursued through the biblical prophets (with emphasis on Buber’s and Rosenzweig’s reinterpretation of the call of Moses), Saint John, and Russian philosophies of language (Florensky to Bakhtin). Vocation emerges as bound up with the possibility of being name-bearers, enabling a mutuality of call and response. This is then evidenced further in ethics and poetics, where Levinas and Hermann Broch (The Death of Virgil) become major points of reference. In conclusion, the themes of calling and the name are seen to shape the possibility of love—the subject of the final part of the philosophy of Christian life: A Metaphysics of Love.

Nous Croyons

Résumé Même si Milan Kundera insiste sur la tâche du roman qui consiste à détruire tous les mythes, nous croyons que cette entreprise ne peut y être menée à terme. Dans un monde où toute valeur transcendantale aurait été annulée, où tout aurait été banalisé, le personnage romanesque trouverait difficilement sa voie. C’est ainsi que des éléments sacrés (des mythes et des scènes bibliques), dont la présence n’est pas seulement ironique, donnent de l’ampleur à la vie des personnages de Kundera, les enrichissent d’une tradition mythique qui balise le récit. Deux personnages de L’insoutenable légèreté de l’être en sont de bons exemples : le personnage principal, Tomas, est tiraillé entre deux mythes (la naissance de Moïse et l’Androgyne du Banquet) qui organisent sa vie ; Iakov Staline, qui n’apparaît que brièvement dans le roman, y vit une tension analogue (entre sa vie misérable et son statut « divin ») qui se révèle mortifère.
