From an interdiscursive perspective, the articles point to parallels between the discursive status of literature and that of the life sciences, since both combine specific discourses into new entities. The process of reflection brings up questions: what legitimizes the supposedly dominant position of the life sciences in the 21st century, and what are the prerequisites and forms of a fully-fledged communication between literature, literary studies, and life sciences?<\/p>\n<p>World Literature Studies is an open access and print scholarly journal published quarterly by Institute of World Literature, Slovak Academy of Sciences.
