The author of the article looks at the broad adoption of postmodernism in a Czech-Slovak context against the background of the development of postmodernism in the world. Attention is drawn to the fact that although postmodernism appeared in central Europe in the late sixties of the twentieth century (L. A. Fiedler with V. Dostal), it was not fully recognized until the late eighties and early nineties of the twentieth century, after the "Velvet Revolution". It notes that the Czech and Slovak models of postmodern literature differ, but both contain very strong elements of politicization, which is related to the restructuralization and new emancipation of the whole spectrum of society after the revolution in 1989. Attention is also paid, however, to other components (playful postmodernism, fantastic postmodernism, etc.).
