Abstracts

EN

This overview article analyses the research in the field of postcolonial studies in Slovakia and Hungary and its institutional repre-sentation in both countries. The author of this article argues that in both countries the postcolo-nial theories have been mostly applied to the study of Irish,Canadian, Australian, and African literatures and cultures and mostly by scholars based at the universities’ English Departments; that the application of postcolonial theories in the study of both Slovak and Hungarian litera-tures and cultures have been rather marginal; and that a research in this field has rather been based outside English departments.

Przeglądowy artykuł analizuje badania na polu studiów postkolonialnych na Słowacji i Węgrzech oraz ich instytucjonalne re-prezentacje w tych krajach. Autor artykułu argumentuje, że w obu krajach postkolonialne teorie zostały zastosowane głównie do badań nad literaturą oraz kulturą irlandzką, kanadyjską, au-stralijską i afrykańską, przede wszystkim przez badaczy działających w uniwersyteckich insty-tutach anglistyki. Aplikowanie postkolonialnych teorii do badań nad literaturą słowacką i wę-gierską jest działaniem raczej marginalnym i dokonuje się poza sferą anglistyki.
