essay deals with Josef Jedlička’s family chronicle Krev není voda
(‘Blood is no water’), regarding the genealogical figures of thought which structure
the text and organize the narration of family history. It examines how the Czech
author adapts and redefines the traditional genre of the family chronicle for his
writing purposes, as well as to what extent the reconstruction of one’s own family
history and the narrative about social origin interlock. The thesis is that Krev není
voda is an interesting example of a Central European family chronicle that works
with a deterministic concept of origin and distinguishes itself from nostalgic, mythologizing,
representations of one’s own family history.
