On the example of two films, the Labakan (The False Prince) by Václav Krška of 1956, and Kluci z bronzu (Boys of Bronze) by Stanislav Strnad of 1980, we can follow the transformation and degeneration of film homosexual phantasms between the latter half of the fifties and the eighties of the twenty century. In Krška’s film – produced at the end of the Stalinist and socialist realism period – those phantasms offered both for its director and spectators refuge and shelter, and a kind of defence against oppressive social practices. Whereas Strnad’s film – the fundamental element of which was a right depiction of and propagandist support for Czechoslovak Spartakiads,– reveals in what way the homosexual imaginarium was during the period of socialist normalization manipulated, appropriated and harnessed by the communist dictatorship.}, type={Text}, title={Degeneracja fantazmatu homoseksualnego w znormalizowanej kinematografii czechosłowackiej : od "Krawca i księcia" Václava Krški (1956) do "Chłopaków z brązu" Stanislava Strnada (1980)}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/64761/PDF/WA303_83870_A453-SzDR-52-2_Szymanski.pdf}, volume={52}, number={2}, journal={Studia z Dziejów Rosji i Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej}, publisher={Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences}, keywords={Czechoslovak cinema, motion pictures - themes, motifs, Czechoslovakia - 1945-1992, totalitarian indoctrination, homosexual phantasms, queer cinema, Krška, Václav (1900-1969), Spartakiads, Strnad, Stanislav (1930-2012)}, }
