The paper deals with the work of Dionyz Durisin (1929-1997) and his response in world literature science. Durisin was one of the best Slovak literature theorists and world well known comparativist. Many of his works were translated into foreign languages, including Chinese and Japanese. They motivated the inter-literary research in whole Europe as well as in the USA, Canada, Latin America, China and Japan. In 1970 Durisin brought in his conception on the 6-th International congress AILC in Bordeaux. His works were known and cited also by Rene Wellek, Douwe W. Fokkema and Ulrich Weisstein. W. Fokkema pointed out inventiveness and originality of his conception. Earl Minner mentioned his significant contribution to the discussion on the notion of the influence. The others noticed the relation of his thought with translation research as well as with the Israeli school of poly-systems theory. In the 80s Durisin elaborated theory of inter-literary communities and in the last time he dealt with the notion of literary centrism and world literature.
