Nekorektní literatura. Estetika a diskurz české akční fantastiky.

In the Czech appropriation of the literary genre splatterpunk, political correctness, or more precisely the lack of it, occupies a prominent place. Fascination with so-called 'incorrectness' can be understood to be a special case of what Richard Burt identifies as 'the fetish of censorship' with writers drawing from the appeal of such 'forbidden' topics as racial and gender stereotypes. This paper examines the ways in which the criticism of correctness plays out in different forms of paratexts, such as ads, reviews, and interviews with writers. The analysis of Czech splatterpunk novels and short stories reveals what is actually understood as 'incorrect' in terms of literary fiction, and how those texts, featuring primarily white masculine heroes with indestructible bodies, lend themselves to different kinds of readings: from sharp political satire to self-reflective spectacular grotesque.
