During the period of so-called normalization in the former Czechoslovakia, the restrictive cultural policy ousted numerous oppositional artists, theoreticians, and writers from the public cultural sphere through bans on exhibitions and publications. As a consequence, the affected individuals developed their own means of enabling creative, scientific, and literary work beyond censorship. A key medium for the realization of officially banned texts, studies, and projects was illegal and clandestine self-publishing, also called "samizdat". This article discusses the phenomenon of samizdat using the example of the self-produced collections of the Surrealistická skupina v Československu. In the 1980s, the community created two (fictitious) exhibition catalogues, Sféra snu (1983) and Proměny humoru (1984), which presented the individual and collective surrealist activities with images, quotations, and written descriptions. However, the editions were not only a media of documentation to reconstruct surrealist practice. They were at the same time a creative way to exhibit their content in its own specific artistic forms and theories of art. In this paper, I explore the unacknowledged dual-function of the '70s and '80s Czech surrealist samizdat as both an archival technique and a work of art. I investigate the function of these volumes for group artistic praxis and how it reflects creative production under the social conditions of the time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article takes Donna Haraway's Staying With the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene as a point of departure for troubling the largely uncontested acceptance of the Anthropocene as a matter of scientific "fact." Our approach is informed by our methodological commitments to understanding writing as a mode of inquiry and our preference for diffraction (rather than reflection) in conceptualizing practices of reading and critique. The article is therefore organized around questions that Haraway's text provokes, and our responses to them. We draw on various sources, including selected science fiction (SF) texts, to trouble practices of naming geological epochs and also to trouble some of the assumptions that Haraway makes in offering "Chthulucene" as an alternative name for our present epoch.

In this article we apply stylometric methods to approach the authorship problem of the comedy La conquista de Jerusalén, attributed since its discovery to Miguel de Cervantes. For this purpose we have performed numerous analyses with different range of most frequent words in a total of seventeen theater plays, all of them written by the seven authors that define the generación teatral de 1580 and who wrote plays actively when La conquista was composed. We have used the distant measure Delta to cluster the text. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
