On the basis of two new publications associated with Richard Weiner the man and his work, i.e. an edition of Weiner’s French correspondence with members of the French group Le Grand Jeu, published under the title Correspondances croisées 1927–1937 (eds. Erika Abrams and Billy Dranty) and a collection of early prose works compiled by Michal Jareš (The Broken Thread and Other Prose), this article reflects on selected issues, problems and themes involving textology, editology and text interpretation.
This study makes a contribution towards resolving the issues surrounding the interpretation of intermedia works that experimentally combine poetry, word, music and sound. The particular subject of this analysis is a project known as Scribbles by writing duo Jaromír Typt and Michal Rataj, which has seen the light of day both in the form of live performances and on two albums (Škrábanice [Scribbles], Zaškrábnutí [Scribbles more]), on which the present essay is also based.
