Distant Reading for European Literary History
Dištančné čítanie Európskej literárnej histórie (1840 – 1920)
Program:	COST
Project leader:	doc. Mgr. Debnár Marek, PhD.
Annotation:	This Action\’s challenge is to create a vibrant and diverse network of researchers jointly developing the resources and methods necessary to change the way European literary history is written. Grounded in the Distant Reading paradigm (i.e. using computational methods of analysis for large collections of literary texts), the Action will create a shared theoretical and practical framework to enable innovative, sophisticated, data-driven, computational methods of literary text analysis across at least 10 European languages. Fostering insight into cross-national, large-scale patterns and evolutions across European literary traditions, the Action will facilitate the creation of a broader, more inclusive and better-grounded account of European literary history and cultural identity. To accomplish this, the Action will:<ol><li>build a multilingual European Literary Text Collection (ELTeC), ultimately containing around 2,500 full-text novels in at least 10 different languages, permitting to test methods and compare results across national traditions;</li><li>establish and share best practices and develop innovative computational methods of text analysis adapted to Europe\’s multilingual literary traditions;</li><li>consider the consequences of such resources and methods for rethinking fundamental concepts in literary theory and history.</li></ol>The Action will contribute to the development and distribution of methods, competencies, data, best practices, standards and tools relevant to Distant Reading research. This will not only affect the way scholars in the Humanities do research, but also the way institutions like libraries will make their holdings available to researchers in the future. The Action will foster distributed research, the systematic exchange of expertise, and the visibility of all participants, activities and resources.

Portraying Countryside in Central European Literature (University of Ostrava)
Zobrazenie vidieka v stredoeurópskej literatúre (Ostravská univerzita)
Program:	International Visegrad Fund (IVF)
Project leader:	Mgr. Hučková Dana, CSc.
Annotation:	The scientific objective of the project is to research rural images in Central European literature. We wish to follow the depiction of space, but we also ask questions about the importance of the theme for individual national literatures in various periods, including the present. How did literature capture the countryside and how does it reflect the transformations of the countryside in the modern world? Is the situation in Central Europe somehow significant? What will the comparison of rural concepts in the Czech, Slovak and Hungarian environment disclose? The so-called spatial studies have been developed at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ostrava for a long time. Since 2010 we have been organizing spatial symposia and subsequently, we have published representative publications (up to now Town, Landscape and Nature vs. Industrial), in which researchers from the Czech Republic and on a smaller scale from abroad participated. We would like to develop this in the forthcoming symposium on the theme of rural areas more internationally.An important practical goal of the project is therefore to establish closer cooperation with research institutions in the V4 countries in an active way, but also to engage postgraduate students in these activities (workshops and lectures for students and subsequent participation of selected PhD students at the symposium and publishing in the book). Students will have the opportunity to present their work to foreign colleagues and be inspired by their (possibly different) approaches.

The Discursivity of the Literature of XIXth Century in the Czech-Slovak Context
Diskurzivita literatúry 19. storočia v česko-slovenskom kontexte
Program:	Bilateral – other
Project leader:	prof. PhDr. Zajac Peter, DrSc.
Annotation:	The international team project of two distinguished institutions cooperating for a long time brings intofocus the literature of the 19th century from the point of view of literary discoursivity. The methodological basis of the project is constituted by the synoptic pulsating model of literary processes. By contrast with the linear, encyclopaedic history of literature the attention will be drawn to the inner diversity of literary course of events, to the variety of stabilization and disruption of balance within a particular literary field. Discourses to be analysed are: Classicism, Romanticism, Realism, Parnassianism. The parallel Czech-Slovak model of their changes will serve as the basis. The literary processes will be documented by case studies from micro levels (a particular text) across genres to the main points (the 1850s). The additional input from outside national literature will be provided by fine arts history, musicology as well as Hungarian, German and Polish studies. The project will result in a collective monograph, its partial results will be published in journals.

Author and Subject
Autor a subjekt
Program:	Inter-academic agreement
Project leader:	Mgr. Schmarcová Ľubica, PhD.
Annotation:	The project focuses on the problem of author and subject in the context of literature. The research team will develop the problem of the historical author as the real originator of texts, as well as the concept of the implicit author as the category of interpreting text, and the lyrical subject as a rhetorical strategy. The project will point to the birth of an autonomous subject in the 18. century and focus on its forms in the 19th century, in the period of Modernism and in the 20th century, in consequence of their tradition of historical poetics.

The "Geopoetics" of Bratislava: the Representation of the City in Slovak Literature after 1918
"Geopoetika" Bratislavy: reprezentácie mesta v slovenskej literatúre po roku 1918.
Program:	VEGA
Project leader:	Mgr. Passia Radoslav, Ph.D.
Annotation:	Literary representations of the city are important culture-forming elements of the urban space. They form its „genius loci“ as a part of the collective memory of the inhabitants. Bratislava has several special features which make it different from thematized metropolitan cities in other cultures. The semiotic position of the city is determined by the particularities of Slovak literature and political history. The research will focus on the literary works which „formed Bratislava“ as a semiotic space after 1918. Our goal is to reconstruct the relevant corpus of such writings and interpret them from the viewpoint of literary history (evolution and typology) and current interdisciplinary approaches of the humanities (the urban studies, geopoetics, area research etc.). Although the main subject of the research is Slovak literature, it will also include overlaps with Czech and Hungarian literatures, which have contributed to the formation of the city.

Program:	VEGA
Project leader:	PhDr. Prušková Zora, CSc.
Annotation:	The project Literary Text, Poetics, Artistic Work will deal with the Slovak prosaic works after 1945. It will aim atsearching for connections between the systemic poetics and the artistic work as a singular event of the authorialcreation. The result will be a new insight into the interpretative options, attribution of higher significance to theelement of the author’s singularity and to the imagination as integral parts of the existentially-situated andexistentially-oriented poetics. The project should initiate an innovative approach to the common literary-historical and cultural-typological stereotypes in terms of assessment of the modern post-war prose.

Program:	VEGA
Project leader:	Mgr. Hučková Dana, CSc.
Annotation:	The project focuses on problems of Slovak literature supporting national awareness and education, as well as literature as a means of folk culturing or enlightening, in the period between the end of the 19th and the first third of the 20th century. Semantics of upbringing and education is researched on several different levels. The initial starting point is a new excerption of relevant press of the era and book editions, focusing on literary texts referring to heterogeneous understanding of literature. Texts considering external factors and related to social and educational functions of literature will be central to the project. Besides attention to forms and transformations of this functional model of literature, research will also focus on literary and communication situations related to them, especially on categories of literary life, such as institutions, media and protagonists of literary culture. Research of text production, distribution and reception will be complemented by the problem of sedimentation of the cultural memory.

Poetika textu a poetika udalosti v novodobej slovenskej literatúre 18. – 21. storočia
Program:	SRDA
Project leader:	prof. PhDr. Zajac Peter, DrSc.
Annotation:	The project will identify and present fundamental terms of poetics of Slovak literature between 18th – 21st centuries. It tracks changes and internal metamorphoses of individual poetic issues such as composition of prosiac (narrative) and lyrical (ennunciative) texts, genre characteristics of texts, etc. The terms are studied as both poetical and historical events with both their configurations and re-configurations. One of the significan cofigurations and reconfigurations of literary events is represented by the ratio and proportion of manifestedness and latentness of individual literary events such as classicism, romanticism, realism, parnasism, modern, avantgarde, existential literature.

Emotions in literature from perspective of cognitive literary studies.
Emócie v literatúre: kognitívnovedný pohľad
Program:	VEGA
Project leader:	PhDr. Kuzmíková Jana, CSc.
Annotation:	The goal is to examine the role of emotions in literary communication from the cognitive aspect. Cognitive literary studies through empirical research of the understanding literature addresses emotions in a broad cognitive space. Emotions may be involved in dysfunctional cognition (beliefs, schemes, stereotypes) and the functional cognition (rational thinking). Examination of emotions in different ways of reading (reading types, emotional and cognitive empathy) as well as text analysis of emotional stimuli (elements and structures of narrative, lyrical and descriptive texts) can explain and test the relevant role of emotions in literary communication and then point out the benefits and limitations of different types of literary works also in the educational and teaching process. General literary contribution of the project is to extend the theoretical basis of research of literature, introduce a more complex and comprehensive analysis of literary communication, and review the scope of reading competence.

Poetika slovenskej literatúry po r. 1945
Program:	VEGA
Project leader:	prof. PhDr. Zajac Peter, DrSc.
Annotation:	The project Poetics of Slovak Literature After 1945 is a pendant to the project History of Slovak Literature After 1945 carried out with the support from VEGA in 2011-2014. During this project, it turned out that literary historical research opens ways to solving key tasks of poetics of the Slovak literature after 1945, often from an entirely new point of view and new methodological perspective. Besides standard issues of historical poetics of a prosaic and poetic text, poetological principles and changes in the Slovak literature between 1945 and the end of the 20th century related to the subject in prose and poetry, narration and types of narratives in prose and enunciation and enunciatives (lyrical accounts) in poetry, genre issues, issues of structure/architecture of the text, time and space in a literary text, relationship of topic, topology and tropology of the text as well as various modalities of mediality of prosaic and poetic texts, intertextual and intermedial relations at the level of individual texts and system relations, the issue of comparative poetics of a literary field, individual literary situations and changes of paradigms will have an important position in the research, too.

Textual figurations of Slovak literature of the 19th century
Textové figurácie slovenskej literatúry 19. storočia
Program:	VEGA
Project leader:	Mgr. Taranenková Ivana, PhD.
Annotation:	The research project shall, following a structural and semiotic analysis of the texts of the corpus of Slovak literature of the 19th century, present the figures of literary discourse thereof, their functions and mutual configurations, while drawing upon the concept of figures of the new rhetoric by G. Genette. Using them, we shall then on the background of the key literary and historical discourses of the 19th century reconstruct a number of continuous poetic tendencies, which had acted subversively against the dominant heroic inclinations preferred by the so far carried out research into Slovak literature of the 19th century, brought into connection with represation of the nation. We shall verify the hypothesis of the three enshrined genre-, thematology- and topology-related tendencies – the idyllic, ironic, and melancholic. We will point out to the fundamental problems of the representation and referentiality of period Slovak literature, a also in the case of their specific types (autobiographic etc.)

Cognitively Oriented Literary Studies. Theory and Showcase Studies from Slovak Literature
Kognitívne orientovaná literárna veda. Teórie a príkladové štúdie zo slovenskej literatúry
Program:	VEGA
Project leader:	PhDr. Kuzmíková Jana, CSc.
Annotation:	The goal is to examine problem areas of the theory of cognitive literary theory and to analyze them in showcase studies from Slovak literature. The assumption is that the human mind, which is in the centre of attention of cognitive sciences, plays an important role in the literary process. Cognitive sciences may and can have their say about many issues of literary science. On the other hand, the experience and knowledge of literary studies can be used in cognitive sciences as well. Besides the elementary interdisciplinary problems (prototypes, cognitive blend, emotions etc), the project will also be aimed at the relation between evolution, creativity and literature, andfocus on the problems of memory, cognition (of meaning) and mental statuses in the literary process. The benefits for literary science lie in enlarging the scope of the theoretical assumptions of the arts, introducing the possibilities of more complex analysis of literary production, and knowing the literary process and reading better.The main goal of the project is to examine the relevant problem areas of the theory of cognitive literary science (studies) and to analyze them in showcase studies of Slovak literature.

Literature in Contacts
Literatúra v kontaktoch
Program:	SRDA
Project leader:	Mgr. Hučková Dana, CSc.
Annotation:	The Project responds to the necessity of basic material research in Slovak literature within the territory of present-day Serbia, with regard to the historical and social ties between Slovakia and the so called Lowlands in the 18th – 20th centuries and now. Its objective is – on the basis of current literary theoretical concepts – to contextually incorporate into the corpus of Slovak literary works, as well as into the explanation of its history, the works that originated, or continue to originate outside the territory of the parent country and operate in two different literary environments (Serbia, Slovakia). The primary collection of research materials (Novi Sad Faculty of Arts, Institute for Culture of Vojvodina Slovaks, Novi Sad, Vojvodina Museum, Novi Sad; Štefan Homola Library, Báčski Petrovec), which are not available in Slovakia, will be the starting point for the subsequent analysis and interpretation, whilst an active input of both parties will be encouraged. Slovak-Serbian literary contacts will be researched in a broad contextual framework with regard to theoretical and literary-historical aspects of the period poetics, schools and genres. A similar research has not yet been conducted, therefore, the project is of pivotal nature.
