  • Translation and Canon

    ed. Mária Kusá obálka1_2019_na web

    Most scholarly work on the literary canon has focused on the perception of the circumstances, conditions and causes of the constitution and reconstitution of the literary canon within the context of one cultural space. In this issue, we are interested in the factor of “the other”, that enters into play through translations, in particular (but not only) in cultural spaces of the “crossroads” type. The factor of otherness, in its diverse forms and functions, on various levels of perception and reflection of the literary and scholarly text, plays a key role in canonization and recanonization.

  • Images of Remote Countries in the Literatures of Central and Eastern Europe

    eds. Anton Pokrivčák – Miloš Zelenka obálka2_2019_na web

    The study of interliterary relations in Central and Eastern Europe has mostly focused on neighbouring countries. However, in the contemporary globalized world contacts with remote cultures are becoming more frequent in this region as well. The aim of this issue is to analyse how remote countries are depicted in Central and Eastern European literatures and how these countries and cultures are reflected in literary-critical and cultural discourse.

  • Literature and Film Adaptation in the Central European Context

    ed. ŠTEFAN TIMKO obálka3_2019_na web

    Research on adaptations of literary works in film and television is usually done in the context of national literature and cinematography. The collection of published studies attempts to give a more comprehensive picture of the audiovisual treatment of literature in the second half of the 20th century in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. The aim of the issue is to enrich comparative and transmedia research in literature and film, but also to reflect the impact of the geopolitical situation in the Central European region on the thematic preferences of adaptation.

  • (Inter)faces

    eds. Tomáš Jirsa – Rebecca Rosenberg obálka2_2019_na web

    How do literature, the visual arts, cinema, and music videos invent and explore the manifold aesthetic, political, and socio-cultural dimensions of the face? What are the ways faces catalyze new modes of aesthetics, society, and sociality in the contemporary moment as well as across technological and posthuman futures? Framed by these questions and situated in both the recent debates around the face in humanities and its contemporary uses in various aesthetic forms and cultural practices, the premise of this issue is to think the face beyond the boundaries of the classical subject and its interiority.
