Kontexty znaku a (ne)záměrnosti v teorii Jana Mukařovského

The author’s starting point is Mukařovský’s Záměrnost a nezáměrnost v umění (Intentionality and Un­intentionality in Art, which was originally presented to the Prague Linguistic Circle in 1943), and she asks whether with this essay, written at the very close of Mukařovský’s structuralist period, Mukařovský’s overall view of the work of art was changed. This essay seeks to provide a detailed analysis of the relations (its contexts and encounters) between three terms: the work, the sign, and intention. In the changes that the conceptions of the three terms underwent one also observes shifts in Mukařovský’s structuralist conception, which is underpinned by these terms.
