The study focuses on identifying the western motifs and syuzhets in Czech fiction of the 20th century set in the territory of the East Carpathians. The motif and space constants of the western in Czech prose of the 20th century written about this territory are not coincidental, arbitrary, on the contrary, their presence is logically related to the semiotic status of the East Carpathian border region, i.e. the established image of this geographical area in Central European cultures. The motif invariants of the western as a genre and of the East Carpathian border region overlap, e.g. both of the invariants feature the border as a phenomenon, the conflict between the archaic and the modern and the conflict between the local and the strange. The Czech prose of the 20th century reflects on this territory by means of two essential patterns, that of the western (conservative-patriotic) and that of the eastern (socially conscious).

The author of the study analyses selected issues of literary and film language-speech relations both from the point of view of literary and film aesthetics and in the context of the Central European cultural area during the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. Especially he is interested in the Czech prose of the 1960s and the “new wave” in Czechoslovak film. The prose and film of the Czech and Slovak filmmakers of the period are remarkably connected with the efforts for a new artistic expression with the pursuit of a new perspective on taboo or ideologically accentuated themes from World War II and the Communist regime. The specific situation of Czechoslovak culture in the 1960s, when the ideological constraints of art were released, enabled the creation of works that are not a closed chapter in literary and film history, but are still inspiring to this day.
