THE PRESCIENCE OF KAREL CAPEK

newyork

What a wonderful refreshing evening with intelligent people and ideas!
THE PRESCIENCE OF KAREL CAPEK
A talk by Thomas Ort, PhD, Queens College/CUNY
March 6, 2025, at Bohemian National Hall

This year, on the 135th anniversary of his birth, we will be celebrating the genius of Karel Capek and reconsidering the relevance of his work today.

Thank you, Thomas ORT, for your erudite yet entertaining talk reminding us about the genius of this early twentieth-century Czech writer and the uncanny relevance of his work for our times’ political and technological developments. His fears about the displacement of human labor by machines and the threat of authoritarianism appear closer to their realization than ever since the 1930s.

The VIDEO RECORDING is available on our YouTube Channel.

Moderated by Professor Chris Harwood, Columbia University

THOMAS ORT is Associate Professor of modern European history at Queens College, The City University of New York. The main focus of his research has been modernist and avant-garde life in early twentieth-century Czechoslovakia, but his most recent work concerns the politics of memory in postwar Eastern Europe. He is the author of Art and Life in Modernist Prague: Karel Capek and his Generation, 1911-1938 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013), which was subsequently translated into Czech (Argo, 2016). Prof. Ort’s new book project, Meaning, Memory, and the Assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, explores the ever-evolving interpretations of the killing of Reinhard Heydrich, the SS general and architect of the Final Solution, who was assassinated in Prague in 1942.
We recommend Thomas Ort’s book “Art and Life in Modernist Prague: Karel Capek and his Generation“, 1911-1938 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013)

KAREL CAPEK (1890–1938), a renowned Czech writer, playwright, critic, journalist, and friend of the first Czechoslovak president TG Masaryk, has been compared to writers like George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. His notable works include the novels “War with the Newts” and “Krakatit”, and plays such as “The White Plague”, “The Makropulos Case”, “The Insect Play”, and “R.U.R.” (Rossum’s Universal Robots), which introduced the term “robot” to the world. Capek’s writing spanned multiple genres, from drama and fiction to essays, travel writing, reflections on gardening and enchanting stories for children. He was a master of language and storytelling, elevating Czech literature on the global stage.

Photography book presentation by the authors Anna and Jordan Rathkopf

A special guest Magdalena Lombardi Plasilova, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Clinical Surgery, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, will discuss the intersection of art and science, focusing on patient experiences, early detection, and survivorship.

Join us for an intimate evening with Anna and Jordan Rathkopf, a married, award-winning photography duo whose deeply personal story has been featured on CNN, Good Morning America, and honored by the International Photographic Council at the United Nations. Their upcoming book, HER2: The Diagnosed, The Caregiver, and Their Son is a powerful visual journey that explores how they used photography to open up conversations about the emotional and physical challenges they faced together and alone while navigating cancer as a family.

After Anna, a Czech immigrant living in New York for the past 18 years, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer at age 37, she and Jordan turned their cameras inward. Their dual perspectives, through self-portraits and images of their family, became a way to talk about their grief, fears, and resilience, providing a means to confront the illness together. These photographs not only document the individual and shared struggles but also reveal moments of unexpected joy, hope, and connection as they redefined the experience of surviving cancer while raising their young son.

The Rathkopfs’ work has received international recognition. Beyond their own story, they have dedicated their careers to amplifying the voices of others facing health challenges, advocating for health equity, and pushing for a more inclusive representation of illness in media. Jordan recently founded the Patient Caregiver Artist Coalition to further this mission.

Anna Rathkopf – Raised in Prague and shaped by the city’s historic architecture, Anna learned the art of light and composition from her uncle, Pavel Hecko, a renowned Eastern European photographer. As an immigrant, her experience in New York has taught her the importance of curiosity, empathy, and community support, all of which were reinforced by her cancer diagnosis in 2016. The act of capturing her own healing and family through photography became a profound form of communication during their hardest moments.

Jordan Rathkopf—Born and raised in Brooklyn, Jordan’s background in marketing, PR, and experimental music composition informs his storytelling approach to photography. His work emphasizes structure while remaining open to unexpected moments that capture the essence of human experience. Jordan is also the founder of the Patient Caregiver Artist Coalition, advocating for more authentic and inclusive representations of illness in visual storytelling.

Magdalena Lombardi Plasilova, MD, PhD, A native of the Czech Republic, earned her medical degree from Charles University in Prague, followed five years later by a doctorate in stem cell physiology and pathophysiology. She completed research fellowships at Cleveland Clinic’s Taussig Cancer Center and at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and a breast surgery fellowship at Yale New Haven Health’s Smilow Cancer Hospital in Connecticut. She is currently an Associate Professor of Clinical Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College, New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Dr. Plasilova brings over 20 years of experience in research and treatment and is known for her compassionate approach to oncology, especially in addressing the needs of younger patients and supporting survivors in their long-term recovery.

Published by Daylight Books, HER2 is available for online purchase HERE:
A limited number of copies will be available for purchase at the event.

A resident artist at La MaMa Theatre, Vit translated, wrote, and directed over two dozen plays for CAMT. His film roles included Krojak in Woody Allen’s “Don’t Drink the Water” and the lead role in Onur Tukel’s feature film “Scenes from an Empty Church.” He co-produced “Faust on a String,” an award-winning documentary. His published works include Twelve Iron Sandals (Prentice Hall, 1985), Pig and Bear (MacMillan, 1989), and the lead essay for Czechoslovak-American Puppetry (GOH, 1994). Vit received the international 2018 SVU Award for lifetime achievement in fostering the art of Czech and Slovak puppetry and the 2019 NY ACKER Award at Theater for the New City.

The AMAZING BREUER: Czech-American Pioneer of Science Fiction in the USA (1889 –1945)

newyork

A talk by Jaroslav Olša, Jr.

VIDEO RECORDING

Sunday, February 25, at 4 pm (EST)

Mr. Olsa discussed the life and work of a Czech American writer who stood at the birth of science fiction literature in the USA.

When the American editor Hugo Gernsback started in 1926 the first science fiction monthly magazine, Amazing Stories, he was soon faced with a shortage of authors. In 1927, a new contributor, Miles J. Breuer, a physician of Czech origin in Nebraska, joined the magazine with his story “The Man with the Strange Head.” Later, Breuer published two novels, thirty-six shorter stories, and several other items for science fiction magazines.
While Miles J. Breuer made a mark in US science fiction, his Czech alter ego, Miloslav J. Breuer, was only discovered in 2020. Until recently, experts thought Breuer was a literary newcomer at that time. But Mr. Olsa’s recent research discovered that Breuer was a prolific writer since 1909 and numerous Czech-American publications published his stories written originally in Czech.

Jaroslav Olša, Jr. is a Czech career diplomat with more than 30 years of experience, including posts as Ambassador to Zimbabwe (2000-2006), South Korea (2008-2014), and the Philippines (2014-2018). Since 2020, he has served as Consul General in Los Angeles. Mr. Olša is also a writer with a passion for science fiction. He published many articles and edited over a dozen Czech and international science fiction anthologies. He also authored books on culture and the relations between the Czech Lands, Asia, and Africa. His most recent books are Czech Painters of California (2023) and Miloslav (Miles) J. Breuer: Cesko-americký spisovatel u zrodu moderní science fiction (2023). https://www.facebook.com/olsajaroslav
