| Narrative of History in 21st Century Hungarian Literature in the Context of (Central) European Literature | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Görözdi Judit, PhD. |
| Annotation: | Scepticism about the validity of grand historical narratives brought about at the turn of the millenium a boom of ways of telling history in literature. The forms of narratives of history pointed out that history is not a coherent phenomenon expressing a particular point of view, and emancipated the perspectives of various actors of historical events. Emphasis was put on microhistorical perspectives and the questions of memory, remembering, and forgetting history. The project builds upon the previous research of the principal investigator on historicity in Hungarian postmodern novels, extending it to additional aspects and literary texts. It also includes comparative research, which puts the phenomena of Hungarian literature in the context of (Central) European literature and brings analyses from the field of other, especially Romanian and French literary representations of history. |

| 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. |
