  • Realism, Tolerance, and Liberalism in the Czech National Awakening, by Zdeněk V. David

    Open AccessPeter ZusiARTICLEThe English Historical Review2014

    Zdeněk V. David’s massive study of intellectual sources of the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Czech national awakening takes up a longstanding and fiercely debated question: did the Counter-Reformation, which took particularly zealous form in the Bohemian lands following the Habsburg victory at the Battle of White Mountain (1620), represent a decisive break with the Czech culture that had preceded it? At the turn of the twentieth c…

  • Tendentious Modernism

    Open AccessPeter ZusiARTICLESlavic Review2008Citada por: 2Referencias: 11

    The category of tendentiousness-with its dogmatic, didactic, and aesthetically conservative inclinations-seems inherently opposed to the logic of modernism, which emphasized the aesthetic moment of formal innovation. While many modernists argued for the compatibility between aesthetic and political revolution, they invariably met the skepticism of those demanding a clear, ůnambiguously expressed political message from art. But was this conceptual…

  • The Style of the Present

    Peter A Zusi, Peter ZusiARTICLERepresentations2004Citada por: 4Referencias: 2

    In this essay, the Czech avant-gardist Karel Teige's dual program of Constructivism/Poetism is interrogated in the context of his own claim that architectural historicism was degraded by the rupture into a duality of structure and ornament. This inability to escape the terms of his own critique is shown to be the result of Teige's articulation of avant-garde culture as the embodiment of the historical identity or style of the present
