The following text is based upon research of Romanian literary criticism and literary history, written and published by a range of personalities of Romanian origin outside the context of Romania. The contemporary discussions in the Romanian literary environment focus on literature by exiled authors, while literary theory and criticism receives little attention. Few realise that it is exile literary criticism in particular that has contributed to the spreading of awareness on the work of Romanian exile writers abroad. Exilic literary criticism of Romanian writers has, however, made an impact in scholarly circles. It has contributed to the diversification of literary studies abroad and continues to direct its interests and orientation. It is not an accident that it is the writing from the outside, from discourses outside of the established canon and frames of scholarship that was able to relax its norms and widen the thinking about literature towards less-known aspects. Scholars of Romanian origin must be recognised as belonging among those literary critics, scholars and historians who in the last decades have most significantly contributed to the discourse of literary scholarship in the world.

The Institute of World Literature, established in 1991, is a research and, at the same time, training centre that belongs to the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Its forerunner was the Institute of World literature and Languages SAS, which was founded by Mikuláš Bakoš, a significant personality in Slovak literary studies. The Institute focuses on research in field of various literary disciplines (theory and history of literature, comparative research, translatology). It deals with the history of foreign literatures, theoretical thinking and also connection with other social disciplines. At present, its main emphasis is on the sphere of literary, technical and medial translation, the history of the reception of foreign literatures in Slovakia, comparative research and the theory of literary studies. The Institute of World Literature cooperates on research projects and the organisation of conferences and scientific discussions with schools and research centres in Slovakia and in various countries all over the world.

Historiography has been in the centre of attention for decades, but its understanding constantly expands and the questions it asks concern an increasing number of areas, regardless of disciplinary borders. The article deals with literary history as a construction of conceivable worlds in the context of historiography and literary works. Lubomír Doležel is an important theorist in this area, whose work Fiction and history in the era of postmodernism (Fikce a historie v období postmoderny, 2008) elaborates Doležel’s earlier work on fictional worlds in literature by examining the questions of historiography and its conceptualizations of both conceivable and inconceivable worlds.
