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.

MULTITRANSPOSTHU - Analýza multidimenzionálnej podoby trans- a post-humanizmu
Analysis of the multidimensional character of trans- and posthumanism
Program: SRDA
Project leader: Mgr. Suwara Bogumiła, PhD.
Annotation: The main objective of the project is a multidimensional transdisciplinary research of mutual dynamic relationshipsrelated to the issue of human gene editing and posthumanism in five research domains: biology-biotechnology,philosophical reflection, (bio)ethical reflection, biopolitical analysis and democratization of science, art andculture. In particular, the project focuses on a philosophical reflection of the concept of trans- and posthumanismwith an emphasis on human germline cells genome editing in relation to human nature, genetic determinism andaesthetic transformation of the human body. The issue of a transformation of the human biological species(homo sapiens) is analyzed in the context of the conflicts between a realis and social-constructivistunderstanding of biological categorization. At the level of bioethical and biopolitical reflection, the projectanalyzes the impact of trans- and posthumanist modification of the human genome on the society, its politicalinstitutions and regulatory abilities, the process of science democratization and the phenomenon of biohacking.At the cultural and artistic level, the project focuses on the analysis of artistic portrayal of trans- andposthumanism in dystopian literary, new media, film and television works. This also includes an analysis of themetaphorical language of molecular geneticists recently represented by the term "gene editing".

Hypermediálny artefakt v postdigitálnej dobe
Hypermedia artefact in the postdigital age
Program: VEGA
Project leader: Mgr. Suwara Bogumiła, PhD.
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.

Preklad ako súčasť dejín kultúrneho priestoru
Translation as a Part of the Cultural Space History
Program: VEGA
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.

Text na internete ako jav (r)evolúcie kultúry
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?).

Preklad, dejiny, kultúra. Status prekladu, transformácie jeho podôb a vedeckej reflexie v čase

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.
