Abstract
“Who were you if you admired him?” asked Robert Wechsler in the article Čapek in America (1992). "Well, that question was answered very soon […]. You were a sci-fi fan." Karel Čapek’s work is considered an important part of the science-fiction history, if for no other reason than that he had invented one of the principal science fiction character, the robot, the artificial man, serially produced by the utopian factory known as the R.U.R., Rossum’s Universal Robots (1920/21). Introducing different stage productions of the RUR within years 1921 and 1924, I will follow the process of the Robot transformation from the metaphor of the state of the humanity in the Machine age into the main figure, even the symbol, of the technological progress myth.
Abstract (in Czech)
Karel Čapek je považován za významného představitele historie sci-fi, když ne z jiného důvodu, tedy proto, že vymyslel jednu z hlavních postav sci-fi, robota, umělého člověka, sériově vyráběného v utopické továrně známé jako na R.U.R., Rossum’s Universal Robots (1920 /21). V přednášce budou představeny různé divadelní inscenace R. U. R. v letech 1921 a 1924. Postava Robota bude pojímána jako diskursivní objekt.
