Literárne prechádzky Bratislavou: Nadrealistická Bratislava

Literary walks through Bratislava represent a concept combining educational literary activities (lectures) with commented tours of the city, which have become a popular format in recent years.

"Images of the city in the poetry of surrealists."

In the 1930s, surrealism arrived in Bratislava under the name of surrealism. Since space (and especially urban space) is one of the key categories of surrealist poetics, it naturally crystallized in the Slovak context as well, a unique, surrealistic image of the big city - interwar Bratislava. In the surrealistic image of the city, not only inspirations from surrealism were reflected, but also his own initiation experience and fascination with the big city, social feelings and later also the harbinger of war and apocalyptic visions of the world. However, the excursion will also touch on the seemingly anachronistic returns of surrealism to Bratislava in the sixties and nineties.

The excursion will start at Šafárik Square in front of the Faculty of Law building. It will continue past the Old Bridge along the embankment to the SNP Bridge, from there past the former Jewish quarter to Rybná námestie with a view of the castle hill.

Accompanied by: Viliam Nádaskay from the Institute of Slovak Literature SAV.
