Monograph The Slovenian Literary Science from Trubar to World War II is the lifework of Darko Dolinar, an expert in history and methodology of the Slovenian literary science. His study represents, ...for the first time in our country in the form of a scientific synthesis, the development of professional and scientific treatment of literature from its beginnings during the Reformation through Baroque and Enlightenment polyhistoricism and the beginnings of national literary history in the 19th century to the establishment of literary science as a basic university discipline in 1919 and the further development of its various subdisciplines, including comparative literature, all up to the outbreak of World War II. Dolinar's monograph is an attempt to eliminate a long-standing gap in Slovenian literary science, since Slovene literary scholars, researchers, teachers, and students of literature need a firm grounding on the historical knowledge of the concepts, significance, development, and previous crises of the discipline, as well, for a more critical response.
In this book (' The Spaces of Slovenian Literature'), a team of researchers from the ZRC SAZU and the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana led by Marko Juvan develops a new discipline, which is formed at the ...intersection between the analysis of the literary system and geography and relies on geographic information systems. Based on the spatial humanities approach presented in the introductory chapters, the following analyses, thematic maps and graphs try to explain how the “national space” was formed both ideologically and materially due to the interaction between geographical factors and literary practices in Slovenian from 1780 to 1940. The argument is based on spatial statistical analysis of data sets of biographies of literary actors, development of the press, publishing, literary clubs and theaters, the places represented in historical novels, and a constellation of memorial objects and designations dedicated to Slovenian writers. Systemic treatment is supplemented with discussions on the depicted and living spaces of selected writers from the 17th to the 21st century.
In the last few decades, comparative literature has spread even to those parts of the world that it had not reached before. However, at the same time it has faced a crisis in its traditional centers ...across Europe and North America, which has shaken its conceptual premises, theoretical foundations, and methodological structure, affected its inclusion in university and scholarly institutions, and jeopardized its social status. The discipline responded to this fundamental change through increased self-awareness and a true flourishing of relevant production directed towards fundamental reflections on its identity, the current situation, its genesis, and possible future paths.
This monograph deals with theoretical and historical aspects of the position of the writer in Slovenia from the end of 18th century, when literature started to differentiate itself from other systems ...and form an autonomous social system, to the situation in which the writer finds himself at the beginning of the 21st century.
Koron’s monograph explores a vast field of theory – occassionally called post-classical narratology – from the historical-developmental and the systematic or theoretical-methodological perspectives. ...The first part of the book treats the theoretical preliminaries, basic concepts, terminological questions, delimitations of the research subject, and the definitions of narrative. The second part outlines the history of narrative theories, divided into several phases, and the formation of its concepts. The third part discusses Slovenian contributions to the field and compares them to the international state of research. The fourth part examines the applicability of contemporary narratological approaches to concrete texts. It treats the concept of omniscient narration, aspects of narratology of drama and the phenomenon of narrativity in the plays of Dušan Jovanović (1939–), the development of gendered narratology, the introduction of narratological concepts in autobiographies and concludes the discussion with entering the interdisciplinary field of historiographical narratology.
Vo svojich literárnokritických začiatkoch polovicou 60. rokov minulého storočia Michal Harpáň bol orientovaný na srbský literárny kontext, predovšetkým na srbskú poéziu. Do slovenskej literatúry ...„vstúpil“ krátkymi lyrizovanými poviedkami a len neskôr, koncom 60. rokov minulého storočia začal písať aj literárnokritické texty v slovenčine. Zo začiaktu bol jeho literárnokritický výraz výrazne esejisticky koncipovaný, no po oboznámení sa so súdobou slovenskou literárnou vedou Harpáň svoje interpretácie literárnych textov uskutočnňuje pod výrazným vplyvom scientistických literárnovedných metodológií, predovšetkým štrukturalizmu. Tento obrat v literárnokritickej tvorbe Michala Harpáňa sa odohral začiatkom 70. rokov minulého storočia a mal ďalekosiahle následky nielen pre slovenskú vojvodinskú literárnu kritiku, ale i celkovú literatúru.
