The study focuses on the selected texts by Central European writers which are thematically set in the Eastern Carpathians. This radically multi-ethnic and multinational region is considered to be by the author one of the relatively independent cultural areas of Central Europe. Using examples such as Ivan Olbracht, Karel Čapek or Sándor Márai, the author shows that the narrative perspectives of a stranger, outcast, migrant in combination with the themes of border and conflict between vernacular and alien are characteristic for the literary image of the Eastern Carpathian border region in the 20th century. The author looks at the way the literary appearance of this area is ideologically deformed in the works of individual authors. The Eastern European writers who do not come from the Eastern Carpathian border region use characters of strangers to reflect on the relationship between the modern and the traditional. Autochthonous authors often make use of the stranger characters to depict the area´s self-colonial efforts (Kiossev) in relation to the referential dominant cultures. We can follow how this cultural referentiality has been changing during the region´s history from the original Austrian-Hungarian cultural framework through the frameworks of the individual national cultures to Central European or European cultural framework accented by the current cultural policy.

The study focuses on identifying the western motifs and syuzhets in Czech fiction of the 20th century set in the territory of the East Carpathians. The motif and space constants of the western in Czech prose of the 20th century written about this territory are not coincidental, arbitrary, on the contrary, their presence is logically related to the semiotic status of the East Carpathian border region, i.e. the established image of this geographical area in Central European cultures. The motif invariants of the western as a genre and of the East Carpathian border region overlap, e.g. both of the invariants feature the border as a phenomenon, the conflict between the archaic and the modern and the conflict between the local and the strange. The Czech prose of the 20th century reflects on this territory by means of two essential patterns, that of the western (conservative-patriotic) and that of the eastern (socially conscious).

The goal of the present case study is to help understand the mechanisms used by the official Communist power to control and regulate literary critical production in Slovak literature written in the late 1980s. The author reconstructs a case from the year 1987, which concerns the magazine Romboid. He uses the particular case of contemporary literary life to show that Slovak literature in the late 1980s also featured strong dogmatic and conservative trends persisting in rigid defence of Socialist Realism as the only artistic method acceptable at that time.
