| Description | Since this article is fundamentally interdisciplinary, it uses concepts from literary studies such as literary censorship, literary communication and literary field, as well as concepts from political and cultural studies such as cultural transfer, civil society or cultural politics to describe the activities of the ÖGfL. In a short introduction, I would like to explain the relationships between these terms. A formative framework for the activities of the ÖGfL in all satellite states of the Eastern Bloc was a literary industry characterized by censorship. I base my study on the definitions of censorship by Wögerbauer, Šámal, Píša and Janáček. As a result of their extensive research, they understand censorship as the totality of negotiations between different actors within the literary field. They found that the censorship practices of totalitarian states and the efforts of the actors in the literary field described above meet in the context of literary communication by strengthening, canceling out or complementing each other. The actual literary communication takes place on a fixed playing field that is defined by institutionalized literary censorship. They showed that such a dynamic understanding of the concept of censorship corresponds more closely to historical reality than the idea of a rigid list of rules. The article follows up on these considerations and shows the role of the Austrian Society for Literature in literary communication in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s and early 1970s. |
