Radka Denemarková is a unique phenomenon on the Czech literary scene. She is considered by many to be the most important contemporary Czech author and one of the most sought-after political voices in the country. A true polymath, she has written essays, plays, screenplays, short and long novels, a double novel that can be read from both ends, and she is also an accomplished translator of German literature. She studied German and Czech literature at Charles University in Prague and received her doctorate in 1997.

　

She is the only four-time winner of the prestigious Czech literary prize, Magnesia Litera, and what is particularly significant, in four different categories: the Best Prose of the Year for Money from Hitler in 2007, the Best Book in Journalism for The Story of Petr Lébl in 2008, the Best Translation of the Year for Herta Müller's prose Atemschaukel in 2011 and the Book of the Year 2019 for Hours of Lead. This 800-page critically acclaimed novel set in contemporary China was also awarded in Germany and Austria. The author was punished with a lifetime ban from entering China. In 2024, Dr. Denemarková received the State Medal of Merit of the President of the Czech Republic, the Austrian Franz Kafka Prize and the European Tolerance Award.

June 14th (Sat.) 2PM-4PM

 

主持人：吳介祥（彰化師範大學美術系教授）

Moderator: Wu Chieh-Hsiang (Professor, Department of Arts, NCUE)

　

　　臺灣與捷克的命運有何相近之處？臺灣與歐洲的民主有何不同？無論是在哈維爾總統（Václav Havel）的時代抑或當代，真相、勇氣、文學、政治皆舉足輕重，而教育、科學和研究又在尋找真相、促進社會福祉並活化民主的過程中成為要角。這場與主持人．國立彰化師範大學藝術系吳介祥教授的對談，將討論臺灣的歷史──這段歷史在許多方面可與捷克的經驗互為呼應，揭示不同形式的民主與人道主義抗爭。

　

　　How are the fates of Taiwan and the Czech Republic similar? What are the differences between democracy in Taiwan and Europe? Truth, courage, literature and politics in the time of Václav Havel and today. Education, science and research are so central to finding the truth, to the well-being of the community and to a vibrant democracy. About the book of Taiwan, whose history is in many ways parallel to the history of the Czech Republic. These are forms of the struggle for democracy and humanism, through a discussion moderated by professor in the Department of Arts at the National Changhua University of Education in Taiwan, Wu Chieh-Hsiang.
