Abstract
Czech and (Slovak) Postmodern Photography is a discussion of how trends differ in the land that is now the ?Czech Republic? in comparison with western (mainly American) postmodern photography. The author who is ?American? is hoping the paper could be a starting point for people who are unfamiliar with the Czech Culture. It is not a precise catalogue of what is Czech Postmodern photography; it is merely an attempt to point out some trends in the development Czech Postmodern Photography. The author, believe that there are three waves (or periods) of Postmodern Czech Photography have occurred: One that begins around 1968, a second that begins in 1989, and a third that is still in the process of becoming. In addiction, the author believes that is important to understand characteristics of Structuralism in comparison to Post-Structuralism in the attempt to understand how these trends Postmodern trends transpire, because after 1968, Post-Structuralism played an important role in western culture, while in Czechoslovakia the imposed Marxist form of thought was decidedly Structuralist.
