The subject of the analysis is a lesser-known study by Rudo Brtáň (1907 – 1998) about Slovak classicist Juraj Rohoň (1773 – 1831), originally from the Turiec region that spent most of his life in Low Land. The study titled Juraj Rohoň was published by R. Brtáň in a literature and culture magazine of Yugoslavian Slovaks called Nový život/New Life/ in 1965, which is produced in Serbia. This is why it remained less accessible and known to a significant part of Slovak literary science. Brtáň´s paper has fundamental importance for understanding of J. Rohoň´s life and work. His findings are confronted with several recent investigations (S. Čelovský, E. Brtáňová, M. Babiak) in the study. A significant part of Brtáň´s research is focused on genealogy, where besides Rohoň´s immediate relatives he tracked other notable figures of this national revivalist, intellectual and artistic family. He also describes in more detail Rohoň´s main literary works: so-called apologias Chvála Slováků/Apotheosis of Slovaks and Palma/A Palm Tree, a collection of neoclassical poems Kratochvílne zpěvy pro mládež rolníckou/Leisure Time Songs for the Farming Youth/, and also a collection of Slovak folk songs Starodávne zpěvy lidu slovenského v Uhrách/Ancient Songs of Slovak Folk in Hungary/, which became a part of Kollár´s Národnie spievanky/National Songs/. The works which defended Slovaks and Slavs earned Rohoň a place in Ján Kollár´s poem Slávy dcera/The Daughter of Sláva/ – Kollár placed him alongside other authors who had published apologias in the Slavic heaven.

Since its establishment at the end of the 18th century, the culture of the Slovaks from Vojvodina has developed in two ways: the first one reflects their effort to constantly follow the phenomena present in the cultural setting of Slovakia and to have an active dialogue with them. The second one arises from the specific environment of Vojvodina, where these Slovaks landed up. The article is focused on the analysis of this cultural situation, trying to answer the questions to what extent the information about culture of Slovaks from Vojvodina occurs in the cultural context in Slovakia, and to what extent the share of particular cultural phenomena is reflected while having in mind the contribution of Vojvodina´s specifics.

The present paper, referring to Hölderlin’s verse “What is a poet for in a destitute time?”, raises a question about the position, role and possibilities of theatre in the current “destitute time,” i.e. at the time of the current crisis of values. The author situates the beginning of the crisis of values into the period of modern art and brings it in relation to Nietzsche’s thesis about God’s death and call for a general review of values. Modernist philosophy and aesthetics questioned the possibility of evaluation, which contributed to a relativization of values as such, as well as the act of evaluating. On the other hand, modernist art tended to present its program as relevant and valuable to all movements, which brought it into contradiction with philosophy and aesthetics. The paper points out that today’s sense of crisis of values is not derived from the program of modernism, but it probably dates back to the beginnings of postmodernism – both in philosophy and art. The questioning of several principles that the philosophical program of modernism was based on also led to the questioning of creation, reception, interpretation and evaluation in art. In the conclusion, which analyses the program statements of postmodernism in Western culture, the author makes a claim that today’s boundless pluralism has contributed to a broad relativization of artistic values. Overcoming the postmodernist program may involve returning to certain values; however, this does not have to mean returning to the comfort of “lost paradise”, which would offer an answer to Nietzsche’s provoking question: “Do we actually know what is up and down there?”

The poet, national revivalist, folk songs collector, and evangelical pastor Juraj Rohoň (1773 – 1831) was active among Slovaks inhabiting the area of today’s Serbian Vojvodina from 1795 until his death. His literary activity can be reflected in several ways: he was a poet in the Classicist style, author of texts aimed at defending and highlighting the contribution of Slovaks to the social and national life in Hungary, and he also made a significant contribution to the collecting of Slovak folk songs for Ján Kollár’s project Národnie spievanky [National songs]. In all of Rohoň’s works one can find echoes of Enlightenment views and 18th century Enlightenment philosophy. The article analyses the relationship between the impulses of Enlightenment ideas and the literary works in which these impulses resonate and points to the overlap of the tendencies in question towards pre-Romanticism, focusing on works that highlight the category of the nation and also on the question of the historical development and presence of Slovaks/Slavs in history.
