The goal of the paper is to contemplate the nature of the narrative structures in the subgenre of family chronicle, which has undoubtedly left a trace in the western patterns of family story-telling. It is mainly theoretically based on a structuralist paper by Claude Bremond titled The Logic of Narrative Possibilities. However, French structuralist narratology is not mentioned here in order to examine the laws of a literary work of art per se. The paper investigates the layer of fabula in a number of European and Czech family chronicles, which is seen as a trace in a reader ́s memory made by reading a particular piece of writing and forming a meaningful whole. The paper uses Bremond ́s analysis to examine the logic of the narration, what impact it has on understanding the category of family in a family chronicle. What are researched is the patterns of the narration logic in family chronicles, which oscillates between the idyllic family togetherness and individualization. The paper proves that the pattern of deterioration seen as family dissolution and the disintegration of idyllic coexistence is not applied everywhere. This enables to review the current theory of the subgenre in question, which was solely defined by the logic of deterioration. Family chronicle brings a number of narrations based on ambivalent attitudes towards family, which is manifested by alternating processes of deterioration and improvement as well as their concurrence. These make the family chronicle characters hate the family, and at the same time regard it as an environment vital for life.

The main intention of the paper is to discern particular female features in the travel story that belonged to the most popular literary genres of the 19th century. The travel story may be considered a male genre as women writers hardly took a share in creating its modern shape. The genre of travel story was very important for the Slovak literature of the 19th century: according to Zlatko Klatik, a specific Slovak variant of this genre was created, which he calls 'the ideological travel story', in order to convey both the ideas of national sovereignty and co-operation of Slavonic nations. Regarding this context, the paper is aimed at examining how all the features of this male genre were modified in the only one Slovak ideological travel story of the 19th century written by a woman - 'Pani Georgiadesova na cestach. Vesely cestopis do Prahy na narodopisnu vystavu' by Terezia Vansova.

The goal of the paper is to map the Czech-Slovak community in the field of contemporary fan fiction inspired by the Harry Potter series written by J. K. Rowling as a follow-up to the tradition of research into the Czech-Slovak literary and cultural relations. It is built on the conception of a „peculiar literary community“ of the Czechs and the Slovaks formulated by Dionýz Ďurišin. What is then analysed is the space of Czech-Slovak websites administered by so-called fans for fans. The activities of the Czech-Slovak community in the field of fan fiction cannot be summarized easily due to several reasons including the fact that the relations within the community are continuously developing and changing. The existence of the Czech-Slovak literary community mainly influenced by nostalgia and personal mind sets of individual debaters is seemingly dominated by disruptive moments strongly motivated by rivalry between the two nations. That is mostly reflected in the debates about the Czech or Slovak translations of the original text. However, it is necessary to note that the community (so-called fandom) sees itself as Czech-Slovak and the most-visited websites are declared to be Czech-Slovak, too. Regardless of the most noticeable manifestations of non-togetherness, the fact that the common Czech-Slovak space exists, what´s more spontaneously, without any ideological prompting, and provides place for linguistic debates, actually gives witness to strong cultural togetherness. The paper does not only attempt to follow in the research tradition but also to shift the focus that has so far been given to high literature to popular literature and culture, which is the area where the Czech-Slovak community currently seems to be most active.
