LITTERARIA PRAGENSIA
Studies in Literature and Culture

This thematic issue explores the concept of performativity in relation to a range of media, beginning with the power of dramatic speech and settings and moving on to the performative power of the camera in feminist film and the stereotyping of cultural identities and their conflicts in commercial television dramas. The research focused on the Internet deals with the problems of “protocological management” and the effects of algorithms, profiling or “recommendation engines,” and their significant influence on the control of individuals and societies. We also discuss the operations of AI in theatre, intercultural studies and recent works of fiction. Finally, the argument returns to an exploration of the power of poetic language which generates resilience capable of overcoming a spiritual and existential crisis.

The research for and the editing of this issue were supported by the European Regional Development Fund project “Beyond Security: Role of Conflict in Resilience-Building” (reg. no.: CZ.02.01.01/00/22_008/0004595).
