The topic of this issue focuses on the question of Slovak literature’s position in world literature: i.e. what is the relationship between the national and the global context? In the search for an answer, the studies find that neither “worldliness” nor “Slovakness” are self-evident attributes. The contributions show a spectrum of possible ways of looking at Slovak literature as part of the world literary system: through interliterary relations, cultural transfer, transculturalism, Christian spirituality, Slavic identity, feminism and cosmopolitism. They problematize concepts such as “center/periphery”, “minor” or “belated”, and undermine a hegemonic understanding of world literature
