摘要:Th e reviewed book2, written by Czech researcher Vít Gvoždiak3 and entitled Czech Th eory [Česká teorie], bears the subtitle Tendencies of Modern Czech Semiotics [Tendence moderní české sémiotiky], which, at fi rst sight, immediately narrows the circle of possibilities to interpret its contents, and makes this publication potentially interesting for all semioticians and historians of semiotics (or, more widely, for all specialists in humanities and their history) – though accessible to those reading in Czech. Th e book consists of an introduction [Uvod] (pp. 5–7), three main parts titled “Czech theory” [Česká teorie] (pp. 9–147), “Conversations” [Rozhovory] (pp. 149–267) and “Outline of bibliography of Czech semiotics” [Nástin bibliografi e české sémiotiky] (pp. 269–359), an index of proper names [Jmenný rejstřík] (pp. 360–365) and a short summary in Czech and in English [Resumé] (pp. 366–368).
