| LANGUAGECONTACTL - Preklad a transfer štýlu naprieč jazykmi: k teórii jazykového kontaktu v literatúre | |
| Translation and cross-lingual stylistic transfer: Towards a theory of language contact in literature | |
| Program: | IMPULZ |
| Project leader: | Kelbert Rudan Eugenia, PhD |
| Annotation: | Language boundaries are not transparent; recent advances from translation to psycholinguistics make it clear that they cannot be crossed without sacrifice and a complex negotiation of gains. A growing body of research on literary multilingualism, including my prize-winning doctoral thesis, show that moving a text, or indeed an author, into a different language leads to shifts in semantic, emotional and stylistic emphases. However, unlike the transfer of meaning (the initial impetus for the hugely successful discipline of translation studies), the transfer of style in language contact settings has received little critical attention. To change this status quo is to take issue with comparing in comparative literature. Rather as translation was ‘noticed’ in the 1960s, it is time to notice the patterns, losses and gains whereby stylistic features are re-created between languages as a decisive step towards a comprehensive theory of language contact in literature. My goal is to tackle cross-lingual stylistic transfer as a methodological challenge shared by several fields but largely unacknowledged outside translation studies. This project consequently reframes literary translation as the best understood among several distinct kinds of language contact reliant on cross-lingual stylistics. Hence the twofold structure of this project: from exploring the relationship between the translated text and the original text to an alternative paradigm for the study of literary language contact explored through case studies in areas such as translation, self-translation, influence, multilingualism and international literary movements. |

| Translation and translating in the history and present of the Slovak cultural space. Transformations of forms, status and functions: texts, personalities, institutions. | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | prof. PhDr. Kusá Mária, CSc. |
| Annotation: | The project continues the tradition of translatological research that has contributed to the creation of a real Slovak translatological community over the last twenty years. The direction of the interdisciplinary translatological discourse will go (in the sense of current tendencies in thinking about translation) also into the context of reflections on world literature, as well as into the expansion of knowledge in confrontation or synergy with the discourses of other humanities (philosophy, history of culture, sociology, "oral history"), but also natural sciences (human geography, interpretive statistics, ecology, etc.). The object of research should be a) interpretations of translations and receptions of literary texts in Slovak cultural space (forming the canon?), but also b) of culturally significant various, e.g. also educational, pragmatic, audiovisual, or popular culture texts or sacred texts. The scholarly outputs of the project will be monothematic issues of WLS, as well as personal monographic nature. |

| Slovenská literatúra v medziliterárnych a transkultúrnych súvislostiach | |
| Slovak literature in inter-literary and transcultural contexts | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Dr. Pucherová Dobrota, D.Phil., Privatdoz. |
| Annotation: | The project proposes to consider selected works of Slovak literature through the lens of theories of world literature. Through such re-reading of selected works of the accepted Slovak canon, but also those that are not yet part of it, we will analyze how this kind of thinking contributes to the ideas of world literature, the canon, „minor“ and „major“ literatures, the relations between the local and global, the centre and periphery, the national and postnational; and whether it has a potential to alter the history of the development of Slovak literature in any way. Our investigations will be based on various criteria: textual elements, such as genetic relations or typological analogies (thematic, stylistic, generic, ideological, etc.); intertextual and transcultural phenomena (e.g., synchronicity); or extra-textual determinants (the reception of Slovak literature in translation), according to which it is possible to perceive certain works as part of wider inter-literary communities or indeed world literature. |

| Translation and aspects of reception of social science and humanities texts as cultural and literary transfer in the 20th century | |
| Program: | SRDA |
| Project leader: | prof. PhDr. Bednárová Katarína, CSc. |
| Annotation: | The primarily literary studies and translation studies focused project will explore ways and means of disseminating scientific knowledge, research results, theories and concepts in the social sciences and humanities, such as philosophy, literary science and its borderline and interdisciplinary overlaps (literary essay, translation studies, theory, and art history), in broader cultural and sociological contexts through translations (from English, French, German, Russian and partly from Polish, Spanish and Italian) and their reflection in the Slovak cultural space in the 20th century. It will try to answer the question to what extent the social and scientific valorization of circulating translation texts was / is present in the receiving (Slovak) scientific and socio-cultural environment, to what extent translations saturated the social demand in the 20th century, and whether and how they contributed to the development of individual researched disciplines (to their enrichment, innovation, reception), or, alternatively, what role the fact of non-translation or translation of irrelevant texts or the fact, of erroneous / poor / incompetent / translation played. The project will examine the conditions for translations in the historical context as well as the status, function, and roles of translators as mediators, the institutional background and the functions of translations in the wider literary transfer framework with the aim of creating a more comprehensive picture of this type of translation as a scientific and creative activity. The material (social sciences and humanities translations) will be strictly selective, and the project has no ambition to cover all thematic and linguistic areas. |

| Literatúra v bioetike a bioetika v literatúre | |
| literature in bioethics and bioethics in literature | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Suwara Bogumiła, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project “Literature in bioethics and bioethics in literature” is inspired by the concept of interdiscursive relations of elaborated by leading French linguist D. Maingueneau (2004), and the concept of narrative bioethics (H. Dubiel 2011). The object of research within the presented project is the analysis of the relations between literary (media) and bioethical (philosophical) discourse. The aim of the project is to shift the boundaries of the analysis of interdiscursive communication between literature (in a boarder sense) and bioethics from the traditional depiction analysis of doctor-patient relationship in the literature towards the so-called humanistic turn in bioethics. From a methodological point of view it means that literature and art create a space for enriching a narrowly rationalist ethical discourse with humanistic, philosophical, and psychological aspects, including a phenomenological and hermeneutic approach to applied ethics, especially bioethics. |

| Hyperlexikón - Interaktívny hypertextový lexikón literárnej vedy s korpusom kľúčových literárnovedných textov | |
| Interactive hypertext lexicon of literary studies with a corpus of key literary studies texts | |
| Program: | SRDA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Mikuláš Roman, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The main aim of the project is the creation of an interactive lexicon of literary studies terms in hypertext formattogether with a corpus of texts from the said field. The project follows up on the work on the electronic Hyperlexiconof Concepts and Categories in Literary Studies which was created in two VEGA research projects. The updatedand expanded Hyperlexicon will adopt new content-related and functional elements. In terms of function, the workwill be more interactive and open; in terms of content, the Hyperlexicon will now include important texts which intheir time helped spearhead new modes of thinking or even whole new paradigms. However, the hypertextuality ofthe lexicon will still be retained. The experts who will author the new entries will not only summarize the currentbody of knowledge but also conduct their own research and other related publication activities in accordance withthe aims of the project to provide even more up to date findings on the subject matter. We are convinced that sucha broad and synthesizing collaborative endeavor must be rooted in basic research. As of today, Slovak literaryscholars do not have access to a dictionary that would summarize the state of the art knowledge in the field in abroad manner and across individual philological specialization and would be fully available to them online. |

| Literary transfer, translation and transnational literary phenomena in the Slovak-Hungarian cultural space | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Görözdi Judit, PhD. |
| Annotation: | Slovak-Hungarian literary contacts have always been a subject of research in Slovak comparative literature and translation studies. Yet, there is a sizeable amount of new literary phenomena that has not yet been systematically addressed. In addition to this, some traditional ways of understanding the aforementioned contacts could be revised in light of more recent theoretical and methodological insights. The research project conducted by a group of Hungarian studies scholars intends to address phenomena associated with literary transfer, translation and overlap of Slovak and Hungarian cultural spaces with regard to aspects of transnational literary studies and with a special focus on theory of cultural transfer. |

| Annotation: | The project is focused on ways of exploring literature as an interdiscourse from a theoretical literary perspective. The research team will focus on the analysis of the potential of literary studies to describe literature as a phenomenon of interdiscourses, i.e. mutual communication and interrelation of the system of literature with other systems at various levels within the preconceived framework of interaction. These other systems constitute specific discourses (such as those of philosophy, mathematics, physics, biology, cognitive sciences, medicine, information technology and many others), producing knowledge that is communicated both within its original discourses and outside these discourses, either within the scientific system (interdisciplinary approach) or across various social systems via interdiscourses (such as literature, art, journalism and politics). |

The aims of the projects are as follows: a) interpretation of significant translations in the Slovak cultural space (with the assessment of their canonical status); b) examination of culturally significant, yet less defining texts, i. e. educational, pragmatic or religious texts, which have not been thoroughly examined so far; c) examining the broad and still evolving field of audio(and/or)visual texts operating in the popular culture. Given the scope of the project’s aims and the research team’s expertise, it is only natural that the research will focus not only |

| Reflexia ruského formalizmu v slovenských prekladoch a literárnovedných prácach Mikuláša Bakoša (metodológia, terminológia, recepcia). | |
| Reflections on Russian Formalism in Slovak Translations and Literary Studies by Mikuláš Bakoš (Methodology, Terminology, Reception) | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | doc. PhDr. Pašteková Soňa, CSc. |
| Annotation: | Proposed project focuses on the theoretical and translatological reflection of the methodology concepts of Russian formalism in the works of a Slovak literary scientist of the last century, M. Bakoš (1914-1972). As an interdisciplinary humanities researcher (founder of the Society for Scientific Synthesis, 1937) and translator of scientific texts, he responded to the impulses of the formalism accentuating the literary science terminology. He directed his interests towards the increasing rigor of Slovak scientific thinking, towards defining the subject of literary science, and towards refining the literary science terminology and categories. He contributed significantly to the higher quality of the reception of World literature in Slovak scientific space. In the very center of attention of today’s literary science, therefore, appear reflections of Bakoš’ scientific thinking, his contribution to literary science as a whole and to world literature studies in the Slovak context, and the Russian literatur studies. |

| Premeny rumunského románu po roku 1990 | |
| Transformation of the Romanian Novel after 1990 | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Kenderessy Eva, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project focuses on material research of the Romanian novel from 1990 to the present. It freely follows the collective monograph ‘History of Romanian Literature’ which presented Romanian post-1990 prose selectively, in basic outline, due to limited space. The present project is focused on detailed analysis of novel forms, it will also search for the reasons of the changing position of fiction in the Romanian public space as well as for the criteria that began to enter the reception of literary works, thus introducing the current trends in novel writing and its representatives. As literature is part of broader culture space, the project will also be partly comparative and interdisciplinary and will touch upon visual art, too. The novel will be researched from the point of the foreign, i.e. Slovak environment and the members of the research team will collaborate with Slovak experts in Romanian studies, as well as with Romanian literary historians and theoreticians. |

| Spoločenská angažovanosť, identita a modernita v súčasnej africkej anglofónnej literatúre | |
| Social engagement, identity and modernity in contemporary African Anglophone writing | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Dr. Pucherová Dobrota, D.Phil., Privatdoz. |
| Annotation: | The project is a continuation of the previous, preparatory 2-year project titled Dissent and Resistance in Contemporary African Writing. It will contribute to the discussion on social resistance, engagement, and personal responsibility that has been at the fore-front of recent philosophical discourses on African modern identity. It concerns the issues of personal and communal responsibility vs oppression and victimhood, cultural authenticity vs interculturality, and political resistance vs complicity, all of which seem to point to the question of „African modernity“ in its philosophical and material meaning. In the socio-historical context where African societies have increasingly become dysfunctional due to lack of civil society, literature has been seen as an instrument of resistance, functioning as testimony, dissent, political protest, and philosophy. The project will analyze the ethical, aesthetic and political aspects of this literary imagination. |

| Hyperlexikón literárnovedných pojmov a kategórií II | |
| Hyperlexicon of Concepts and Categories in Literary Studies II | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Mikuláš Roman, PhD. |
| Annotation: | This project is the continuation of an existing project bearing the same name. Its chief objective was, and still is, the creation of a lexicon of literary studies in hypertext medium. The hyperlexicon contains terms describing aspects of literary texts and also concepts that belong to the literary meta-discussion. The necessity to continue with the project and fulfill its objectives are due to the fact that the conclusions of the discussions in the ongoing project infer high degrees of complexity and, simultaneously, the difficulty of the problem of orientation within the language of literary studies in various areas of research traditions. Yet another motivation for the continuation of the project resides in the great dynamics of transformation of knowledge between disciplines (in recent times increasingly among the natural, technological and human sciences), however always wanting to benefit from the anticipation of trends in the field of meta-theory or methodology. |

| Prepísanie naratívnej tradície: próza maďarského postmodernistu Pétera Esterházyho | |
| Rewriting the Narrative Tradition: The Fiction of the Hungarian Postmodernist Péter Esterházy | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Görözdi Judit, PhD. |
| Annotation: | Péter Esterházy (1950), a notable Hungarian postmodernist, is present also in the Slovak cultural space through translations. However there has been a dearth of analytical confrontation of his work in its own referential contexts (e.g. the tradition of mimetic/referential fiction, autobiographical writing, historical narrative, confessional narration, the linguistic tradition of the literary expression, the problem of the originality of a text and cultural tradition). The project will result in a monograph consisting of interpretations of individual works from the point of view of their aesthetic/literary/poetological issues, as well as their literary-historical place in the history of Hungarian literature and postmodernism. |

| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | prof. PhDr. Kusá Mária, CSc. |
| Annotation: | Translation as a Part of the Cultural Space History II. Fact, Phenomena and Personalities in Translation Activities in the Slovak Cultural Space and the Forms of their Funcioning represents further and systematic long-term literary, cultural and historical research of translation in Slovakia. In European context, the perception of translation as a part of the history of the given cultural space has won wider recognition only in the recent years. The project is unique due to its potential of creation a synergic effect of the cultural, literary and historical, and, at the same time, generalizing theoretical thinking on translation. This combined approach to the basic source and material research and application of the resultind theoretical concepts thanks to the participation of relevant Slovak translatological institutions assumes a background for a systematic research of the "fate" of translation in the Slovak cultural space. |

| Discursive Impulses for Literary Historiography: Insights to the Work of Selected German Writing Female Authors (from End of the18th Century till Today) | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | PhDr. Cviková Jana, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project focuses on producing discursive impulses for literary historiography in two key periods for women’s writing (from end of the 18th to the beginning of 20th cent. and second half of 20th to the beginning of 21st cent.). The project explores concrete works of selected German writing female authors (geograficaly and culturally linked to Slovakia and Switzerland) in the background of literary and aesthetic as well as social-political and cultural changes. Considering existing attempts in the field, the project aspires to evolve international knowledge and approaches of gender studies, which are still underrepresented in Slovakia. The project also attempts to hinge on cultural and post-colonial studies using their interdisciplinary potential and conscious reflection of the situatedness of research. The case studies of the female authors are focused on such a text analysis, which can improve the critical and intersectionally-inclusive literary-historical writing open to diverse text interpretation. |

| Annotation: | The proposal of grant is conceived as a continuation of projects: Literature in cyberspace and Text on the Internet as a phenomenon of cultural (r)evolution, both of which focused on studying literature/text in the context of programmable media. The new project should study mainly digital texts, electronic literature and electronic art from the perspective of postdigital media – the global net interactivity and its consequences for reflecting electronic literature/art/culture. The research into hypermedia artefact (represented by digital texts, electronic literature and art) should be linked with the answers by literary studies to the urgent appeal to “humanization” of scientific results gained by information technologies and their influence on artistic (and cultural) discourse. |

| Annotation: | The aim of the project is research the contribution of the Dutch cultural historian Johan Huizinga (1872-1940) to the “cultural turns” for contemporary Humanities and Cultural Studies. The main result will be a monograph in Slovak language on Huizinga, stressing two points: 1. Huizinga’s innovations of interpretation methods, significant to contemporary Humanities and Cultural Studies 2. New problems and thematic issues opened by Huizinga. The project focuses on the main points of Huizinga´s thinking (his theory of image, relations between world and image and between several forms of knowledge, cultural materialism, holistic view on cultural periods) which prefigure the vital forms and aspects of contemporary Humanities and Cultural Studies (Bildwissenschaft, intermedial studies, New Historicism and discourse analysis, cultural analysis, history of mentalities and history of everyday life). |

| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | doc. Mgr. Gáfrik Róbert, PhD. |
| Annotation: | India has played a significant role in the imagination of the Western civilization since antiquity. In the 18th century the British imperial activities in India brought closer contacts and new knowledge of Indian culture which also shows in European literature. Once can observe a reception of Indian culture in Slovakia already in the works of the leaders of Slovak national awakening such as J. Holly or J. Kollar, it shows in the works of modernist poets I. Krasko and V. Roy and in present in the works J. Litvak, R. Bielik, J. Banas and others. The aim of the project is to map the reception of India in Slovak literature, review it in the European context and to explore if and how the orientalist or some other discourse manifests in it. |

| Dissent and resistance in contemporary African writing | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Dr. Pucherová Dobrota, D.Phil., Privatdoz. |
| Annotation: | The project will analyze contemporary African writing in English in the context of social engagement. The object of study will be dissent and political resistance against the totalitarian power of the African postcolony in this literature and what kind of identities this literature offers in the atmosphere of fear and instability, which forces the citizens to adapt to permanent change by creating unstable, fragmented identities. The basic difference between anti-colonial and postcolonial engaged literature is the difference between the understanding of identity and subjectivity: while the anti-colonial narrative understands subjectivity in the spirit of social realism as firmly anchored and essential, the postcolonial narrative can no longer afford this kind of understanding of subjectivity, which changes also the understanding of resistance. The methodological approach will utilize impulses of psychoanalytical approaches to literature, postmodern cultural theory and theories of trauma narrative. |

| Annotation: | The project studies the conception of historicity in the contemporary prose, narrative characteristics and shapes of the genre concretisation of the Hungarian postmodern novel,realised as unique artistic answers to philosophical appeals on meta-fictive character of any historiography. Continuing the previous research of contemporary novels in the Hungarian studies, the core of the project is constituted of interpretations of texts that, besides the Hungarian context, confront the Slovak reception of Hungarian prose. |

| Annotation: | The proposed project presents a continuation of the current research about alternative art and art of the so called “internal emigration”. Socialist realism creates a sort of a contrast, which is highly necessary and suitable material for the research. Its analysis, based on historical conditions, can define the ground problem, reasons and functioning of its collapse and direction of cultural activities. The research will have interdisciplinary character. Comparative method will be applied, as well. |

| Hyperlexicon of Concepts and Categories in Literary Studies | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Mikuláš Roman, PhD. |
| Annotation: | Project´s aim is to create a lexicon of concepts and categories in literary studies in the hypertext medium. A need to clarify the language of literary studies is significant due to the interdisciplinary transfomations in the system of literary studies resulting in the growing complexity of knowledge in the field of literary studies. Based on the contemporary discussions at domestic and foreign literary research institutes, we can deduce a high degree of importance in the problematics of clarification of the language of literary studies. This condition is on the one hand a result of dynamic transformations of knowledge among scholarly disciplines in favour of the creation and consolidation of their identities and on the other hand a result of the contemporary process of democratisation of the scholarly knowledge. The project outlines, concretized mainly in the hyperlexicon entries, will be grounded in the interpretation of the problem itself and will have a character of the „primary research“. |

| The history of Romanian literature (literary life in context) | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | PhDr. Vajdová Libuša, CSc. |
| Annotation: | The aim of the project is to produce the first history of Romanian literature in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Despite more than a 100-year existence of Romanian Studies as a discipline there is no coherent book-length work of this kind in this linguistic region. The collective monograph The History of Romanian Literature will be the result of the collaboration of Slovak, Czech and Romanian specialists and will fill in a blank space in the primary research of this subject in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Methodologically, it emerges from the changes in the historiographic paradigm and follows up on the current research of literature as part of a multicultural universe, cultural topography and contextual understanding of phenomena. In this way, it problematizes literary canons based on causality and binary patterns. The project is implicitly comparatist and relativizing, as it studies Romanian literature from a foreign environment. It understands this literature contextually, as emerging from the heterogeneous character of Romanian culture on the crossroads of Central Europe, the Balkans and the Romance regions of Western Europe. |

| Project leader: | prof. PhDr. Kusá Mária, CSc. |
| Annotation: | The project Translation as a Part of the Cultural Space History represents continuous and systematic literary, cultural and historical research of translation in Slovakia that has been started several years ago. In broader European context, a definition of translation and its history as a part of history of particular cultural space was created no sooner than several years ago (France, Bulgaria, etc.). This project is exceptional mainly (due to the direct involvement of several foremost Slovak translatologists) for its ability to create a synergistic effect (cultural, literary and historical) and at the same time generalized theoretical thinking on translation which seems to be a crucial and necessary factor especially if translation is understood to be a part of history of Slovak cultural territory. |

Its main objective was to publish The Dictionary of Russian Literature. In order to write the first complete Slovak history of Russian Literature the project will draw upon the knowledge and experience gained from the work on the dictionary. Alongside with the factographic material it will reflect the contemporary methodological principles of literary historiography as well as the reception context of Slovak and Central-European literature and culture. |

| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | doc. Mgr. Kučerková Magda, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The aim of the project is a systematic assessment of the work and scholarly method of Jozef Felix (1913 – 1977), the founder of the Slovak Romance Studies as a scholarly discipline. The project focuses on a consistently Romanist research of the literary-historical and translation works of J. Felix and its complex elaboration, which, hitherto, has not been written in the Slovak literary scholarship. As the need for it has been felt for a longer time, there is an occasion for a synthetic view – the 100th anniversary of the author’s birthday (May 2013). The project also focuses on examining the non-published materials and implications of the author’s works, especially in international dimension. Attention is paid to the connection of research in the field of French, Spanish and Italian literatures, which is a novelty also in the framework of the Romance studies. The outcome of the project is a preparation of a conference to 100th anniversary of the author\'s birthday and a publication of a collective monograph. |

| Program: | VEGA |

| Annotation: | The project examines the importance and the special character of Russian symbolism for European culture with respect to the works of poet, fiction-writer and literary theorist Andrei Bely (1870 - 1934). A penetration into the artistic and ideological heritage of the writer\'s experimental work placed between art and criticism, if confronted with present-day European visions of multiculturalism and unity, and their genesis, shows a continuity of thinking and spirituality on the East-West and Russia-Europe axes. The project is also devoted to his traced reception in Slovak literature and literary theory and creates an image of the Central European reception of the works of a Russian symbolist in connection with the epoch\'s ideological trends. |

| Contemporary Anglophone African exile literature | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Dr. Pucherová Dobrota, D.Phil., Privatdoz. |
| Annotation: | The project will contribute to the debate about the impact of globalization on African identities through analysis of recent African Anglophone exilic writing and the debate about the understanding of "African literature" and "literariness". Many sociological and economic analyses argue that although the historical development of postcolonial Africa has been marked by political and economic regression, Africa is finally entering the global community, as demonstrated by the rise of Chinese investment on the continent. The project aims to problematize this view. African exilic and diasporic literature published over the last 15 years opens nex viewpoints on Africa\'s position in the world. It suggests that the phenomenon of globalization is not based on the inclusion of all, but on the exclusion of some from the global community. In the view of African exilic/diasporic authors, Africans abroad are not welcome in their host countries and are denied cosmopolitan hybrid identities. |

| Annotation: | The aim of the project is to give a complex and systematic view of the history of translation from Croatian to Slovak in the horizon of five decades; to define the character of these changes from the aspect of continuity and discontinuity of literary relations. To pursue, on the basis of material and factual entirety, to what extent the translations (published and staged) contributed to the development and identification of the Slovak culture, to evaluate the contribution of the most important translations and translators, shed light on the reception and positions of Croatian literature in the Slovak culture. It is important to assess the reception of translations in the arch from the period of dogmatism to nowadays; in particular to pursue the fact that the tradition of national relations lays on a Slavonic basis, while the tradition in the sphere of artistic translation is a part of integrative andintellectual motion in Europe. |

| Text on the Internet as the Phenomenon of (r)evolution of Culture | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Suwara Bogumiła, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The proposal of the grant project Text on the Internet as the Phenomenon of (r)evolution of Culture is planned as the sequel of the grant assignment Literature in Cyberspace (2/7090/07). Its task will be besides studying the manifestation of the democratization of the literary expression, reception and criticism also dealing with the questions of hypertextuality of culture, intermedial transport of various text types (blogs, literary web sites, internet forums and their alternative voice). Apart from the perspective of McLuhan\'s notion of the medium created message, the grant project will consider the problems regarding the way the internet medium excesses the message (information) in the traditional sense and supplements it with new aspects: interactivity, contextuality, immersion, etc. A question regarding the historical perspective appears in this context: are we dealing with the evolutionary or revolutionary change in the culture?Scientific goals1. The examination of the process of penetration of the voices of professional criticism on the website of literary works and democratization of the literary communication, or medial hybrids (texts in other media). 2. The analysis of blogs (linked internet pages) as the display of contemporary hypertext cultural form.3. The analysis of media consciousness of the print literature authors. 4. The examination of the question, to what extent the virtual reality can be understood as the new but evolutionary legitimate immersive art space, or to what extent it is just the other example of the cultural genealogy (analogy, proximity, convergence, adaptation...), or the possibility of the application of the chaos theory principles on the process of literary creation. Above that it seems, that the term immersion is the effort of the description of the “verisimilitude”/”conditions” - Popper) of the technologically new, virtual environment, characteristic by a specific type of the interaction among various worlds. (Are they Popper\'s worlds? Is it the biological world versus the artificial world?). |

| Annotation: | The presented project examines the particularities of the Hungarian postmodern novels on the basis of individual poetic worlds of the specific texts, understood as artistic responses to postmodern philosophic-aesthetic appeals. The project\'s basis lies in the literary-historical status of the Hungarian literature, it is engaged in postmodern analogies to novelistic subgenres from the point of view of deconstruction of the tradition as well as from the point of view of the concrete poetical examples of the fragmented narration. Project\'s aim is also to map the Slovak reception of these works. |

| Representations of the Natural in the Modernity and Avant-gardes | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | prof. Mgr. Bžoch Adam, CSc. |
| Annotation: | The project continues the previous research project of modernity and avant-gardes realized on the IWL, SAS. It concentrates on cultural notions of the natural and artistic representations which root in these notions. Esp.the period between 1890 and 1946 is focused, as the "nature" ("naturalness") is recognized as the key-term for the whole thinking in the humanities in the 20th c. The chief problems are: relations between arts/literature and the problems of naturalness as empirical, rational but also psychical side within the human creativity; to what extention the status of the natural interferes with or even changes the considerations of the functions and the notions of the natural within the artistic and literary representations, in synergy with its philosophical understanding in the modern times (Hume, Hegel, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Spengler, Bergson etc.). The necessity of the interdisciplinary approach is necessary as this question cannot be answered without help of other human sciences. |

| Literárna veda ako "Systemics" | |
| Literary Studies as "Systemics" | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Mikuláš Roman, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project is an attempt at an analysis and systematization of the possibilities of the interconnection of constructivism, systems theory and chaos research in literary studies, which have recently featured more frequently also in the literary critical discourse. They are meta-discourses that by their mutual intersections form the background of the so-called postmodern literary studies. Without their detailed knowledge postmodern literary studies become just a vague metaphor and lose their validity. It should be taken into consideration that the radical constructivism as well as chaos theory belong to systems theory in the system of science. This new paradigm, which began to be known as systemics, represents a departure from the analysis of static structures in favor of the observation of movements in highly complex dynamic systems. We assume that literature can be understood only in the process of communication. |

| Annotation: | The Western literary science started by Plato\'s reflections in Republic and by Aristotle’s Poetics. Similarly, in India(2nd century BC?) Bharata by his Natyashastra laid the foundations of Indian literary science. From Bharata tothe 17th century, thought about literature was flourishing in Sanskrit tradition and many schools developed.However, Sanskrit literary theory is little known in the West and is often limited to indological circles, which see itto a great extent as a relict of the past. However, it is still flourishing, although in a modified form, in the study ofliteratures in modern Indian languages. The aim of the project is to explore the possibilities and areas in whichSanskrit poetics may enter into a dialog with Western literary science and enrich it by new solutions to knownproblems, by new concepts or problems. |

| Literatúra v kyberpriestore | |
| Literature in cyberspace | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Suwara Bogumiła, PhD. |
| Annotation: | Cyberspace is understood here as a space for functioning of virtual, multicultural and literary communication. Producing texts (also literary) in cyberspace forces to reassess the notion of communication - comunicare, namely in the meaning of: allow participation, offer, unite; as well as: electronic dispersion of information. It is needed to direct the study of literature, as a major form of communication (we suppose that it is so also in cyberspace), towards searching for relations and concerns the e-texts are accompanied with. Reading (lecture) is perceived as a non-unidirectional process, in which reading is blending with writing. The project Literature in Cyberspace aims to study thoroughly ontological, epistemological and aesthetic relations decisive for the participation of the reader on the creation of the story (creative writing, plays, random choice, computer programme) in an open, multi-ply and even transient (non-lasting) text spread by means of electronic canal. |

| Discourse about Children´s and Juvenile Literature | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Mikuláš Roman, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project entitled “Discourse about Children’s and Juvenile literature” is an analytical exploration of the complex of utterances, conditions and rules of production and reception of academic studies influencing thinking about children’s and juvenile literature. In literary scholarship, the various discourse-analytical concepts are problematic. The term discourse itself is extremely ambivalent. We will understand the term in the sense of a system of thinking and reasoning focused on a particular object (of a speech act) which is governed by rules (of the speech act) and which is defined by the system of relations to other discourses. Basically, we are concerned about the analysis of the complexity of the term children’s and juvenile literature in its entanglement in sociological, psychological, aesthetic, didactic, pedagogic, literary-historical, literary-theoretical and other ideological concepts. We will follow the origins of the term on the example of its use in German speaking countries. We will draw on the genealogical concept of discourse analysis, which as the only one accepts the historical reconstruction of functions and conditions of discourses. |
