The piano music by Čestmír Gregor
No full textIn my thesis, I introduce a complete list of piano works by Cestmír Gregor, a contemporary Czech composer of modern classical music. 1 have tried to define his compositional techniques and sources of inspiration by analysing the individual pieces of music. I have found that the major features of the author's highly unique style are polyphonic thinking, the development of motives from small nuclei, expressive themes, plastic tunes, inventive work with rhythm, and the absence of a tonal centre which he compensates for by distinctive melodies . The author finds his inspiration in folklore, especially Moravian (Leoš Janácek), the works of Czech interwar avantgarde (Pavel Borkovec) and in jazz (Jaroslav Ježek). His music reflects the emotional states of a man living in the twenty-first century whose life style is predominantly determined by an urban environment. Gregor does not use any of the Musica Nova theories, instead he founded his own music language. The basis for his compositions is communicative music, which follows the patterns of human perceptive psychology. Gregor's concertant compositions are typical for a new instrument stylization and nontraditional attitudes towards instrument virtuosity (playing with a palm, elbow; an unconventional fingering). His piano sonatas and concerts enable the..

Gregor Samsa’s Self Alienation in Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis: Lacanian Psychoanalysis
No full textThis research is focused on Jacques Lacan\u27s psychoanalytic theory, which is described in the main character in Franz Kafka\u27s novel The Metamorphosis. Gregor Samsa is the main character of The Metamorphosis. Gregor was a traveling salesman who was the Samsa family\u27s sole son and earner. He mysteriously transforms into a massive bug, causing him to be estranged from his family. The author finds out why Gregor’s family members do not care about him and can\u27t perceive him as a complicated human being with his own needs. As a result, Gregor has been estranged from his family and himself. The author argues that Gregor has another alienation from his physical reality after the transformation. His family views him as a terrifying, unpleasant monster, as seen by their fear of his existence and their decision to get rid of him. Gregor, who suffers from humiliation, views himself in the same light. He and his family unwittingly reject Gregor\u27s potential as an individual, making him feel alienated. This research aims to identify how Gregor\u27s conditions make him feel alienated and the connection between his identity crisis and alienation, as depicted in The Metamorphosis. Although humans are free human beings, society contributes to the perspective of self-identity and the decision of their own goals
Wings of Gregor Samsa: Motif’s Implementation in Russian Thought
No full textThis article is dedicated to the reception of Franz Kafka’s novella “The Metamorphosis” within Russian intellectual discourse. The aim of this article is to analyze various interpretative perspectives regarding the presence of wings in the transformed Gregor Samsa. The analysis juxtaposes different readings of the novella, highlighting the perspectives of Russian translator G. Notkin, critic V. Belonozhko, and Russian-speaking playwright Z. Sagalov, author of the play “Don’t Trust Mr. Kafka.” It is revealed that the question of Gregor’s wings presents contrasting resolutions in scholarly and translational hermeneutics on one hand, and artistic interpretations on the other. The issue of whether transformed Gregor possesses wings was raised by V. Nabokov, and in the scholarly and translational tradition that challenges Nabokov’s interpretation, Gregor’s metamorphosis into a winged insect is rejected. Conversely, artistic hermeneutics portray Gregor as a winged creature. The relevance of this interpretation is substantiated by referencing Kafka's unfinished novel “Wedding Preparations in the Village,” which contains an image of transformation into an insect with wings. The comparative analysis and observations presented by the author form the basis for an original interpretation of the novella, supported by an examination of its narrative specifics and a discussion of English translation practices regarding the lexeme denoting the insect into which Gregor transformed
