The Notion of “World” in the Conceptions of the Prague School and in Doležel’s Theory of Fictional Narration The article presents and discusses several approaches to the notion of “the world” as exhibited by members of the Prague School and present in Doležel’s writings in an attempt to pinpoint significant differences as well as common ground in their use of the term. In the course of the article, the author focuses primarily on the use of the term referring to either the description of the setting in individual works of literature, or referring to the surrounding empirical reality, paying particular attention to systems of references. The core of the article provides a detailed analysis of “intentional” reality according to Mukařovský and Ingarden, as well as a relational analysis of the variants of the term in the works of Doležel and Vodička. The author concludes that although some instances of the use of the term do appear to overlap with regard to the notion in question, one cannot be satisfied with considering them as synonymous, since the fundamental divergences in their use stem from different reference subjects.
