The goal of the paper is to outline and comment on the basic features of the semantic field of the existential discourse, especially its key concepts, i.e. existential literature on the one hand and Existentialism on the other hand. The paper offers the text that presents the overview research into existential phenomena focused on the world and Czech contexts, however, not only in the area of literary science, but also in the wider area, mostly the philosophical one. The research into the theoretical practice of existential thinking has in the long term run been showing inconsistency, even vagueness in the use of the terminology of the existential discourse as the same terms often have had various meanings. With regard to the standard frameworks applied to thinking about Existentialism, the outcome of the paper lies in showing the varied approach to the term Existentialism, or a complete abandonment to favour the term as the key term of the existential discourse. The same applies to literary science as well as philosophy, while the theory and history of philosophy have been trying to grasp the existential phenomena in a more appropriate way independent of the traditional understanding preferring Existentialism as defined mainly by J.-P. Sartre. In the context of literary science the outcomes of the paper can only prove useful after the new existential discourses seen in a wider sense have been applied to particular literary practice, e.g. Slovak literature of the 20th century.

The goal of the paper is to outline a brief literary historical overview of the development of the existential discourse in the domestic context from the 1940s until now. The given overview is supposed to be one of the assumptions of theoretical reflection on the poetics of reconfiguration (existentially oriented production). The research was mainly focused on the literary and historical reflection on individual periods of time which featured discussions about existential elements in literature, while the discussions were interpreted with regard to the current state of the subject matter. It turned out that while the 1940s saw configuration of a certain form of existential discourse which became a standard functioning in a manifested way until today, from the start of configuring there were at the same time other latent contents exceeding the frameworks of the classic way of processing the subject. These did not begin to be formed explicitly until the 1960s. Due to the constraints caused by the period of time, the reconfiguration of existential discourse was not significantly affected. Apparent efforts to reassess the approach to the subject that is supposed to take care of the reconfiguration of existential discourse corresponding to the achieved level of contemporary knowledge were not made until the 2000s. At the same time it becomes clear that the process of reconfiguration is not easy because it gets into conflict with classic configuration, which has a standardized form in today´s existential discourse.
