| 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. |
