This talk discusses two prominent figures of the Czech 1980s generation, brothers J\u00e1chym and Filip Topol<\/strong>. Filip was the lead singer of Ps\u00ed voj\u00e1ci<\/em> (Dog Soldiers), a legendary band that played its first concert for Havel himself. J\u00e1chym became a popular author of stories and unconventional novels. He was also an editor of Revolver Revue, an underground periodical. His apartment was the site for numerous dissident happenings. Although both brothers became dissidents, and both signed Charter 77, they rejected the notion of a pre-political self and projected an almost nihilistic stance against everything.<\/p>\n

When scholars discuss the story of dissent in Czechoslovakia, the conversation usually hovers around the usual suspects: V\u00e1clav Havel, Ivan Kl\u00edma, Jaroslav Seifert, The Plastics, Ivan Martin Jirous, and Egon Bondy. This group, along with the great filmmakers of the Czech New Wave, all born between roughly 1930 and 1950, still constitute the basis of most discussions of Czech culture under Socialism. To a certain degree, their innovations, cultural value, and international appeal justify their position. What has received a great deal less scholarly attention, however, is the generation that came next, that had never known the relative freedom of the \u201cPrague Spring\u201d and grew up in the fallout of Charter 77. That generation, as exemplified by the Brothers Topol, and also including V\u00edt Kremli?ka, Petr Plac\u00e1k, Anna W\u00e1gnerov\u00e1, Jir\u00ed H\u00e1\u0161ek (JH Krchovsk\u00fd), and others, worked with different values, trying to position themselves not only against the Communist government but also against the previous generation of dissent. <\/p>\n
