Over the past two decades, the “affective turn” has substantially influenced different humanities such as political theory, sociology, cognitive psychology and aesthetics. Literary studies, however, take a rather distant stance, overlooking affects as unanalysable emotional responses or mere reader’s affections. Drawing on recent works in media philosophy, film theory and visual anthropology, this paper addresses the questions of what exactly affects do with language and how they operate within a literary text. The first part briefly sketches the strong and weak points of the affective turn and the second part develops the most fruitful concepts relating affects to their forms and transmissions. In order to expand on Ernst van Alphen’s list of the affective operations, the third part examines a few corporeal figures in Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories, exploring their affective mediality triggered by various repetitive patterns. Finally, a hypothesis of the aesthetic nature of affects exceeding borders between different media and aesthetic forms is offered.

Timrava´s work is the perfect example of the acceleration of thematic and poetic tendencies in Slovak literature of the late 19th century. The writer adopts a polemic-opposing provocative attitude towards the well-established Post-Romantic patterns. The autobiographical novella Skúsenosť (Experience, 1902) represents a modern literary attitude through extending literary possibilities of revealing human psyche in crisis situations. The novella has the basis in the experiences of the main character called Martina, who comes to the town of Vodňany to work as widow Bukovičová´s companion. What the young writer expected from the new environment was a warm welcome, meetings with nationally conscious people, especially poet Javor (P. O. Hviezdoslav), who is the widow´s relative. However, the small town gave her quite a shock confronting her with hypocrisy, malice, superficiality, and its image was totally different from that based on the heroine´s naive expectations. Timrava used the large-scale novella to make Martina go through a great disappointment over Bukovičová as well as her national idols – this ordeal is also a journey of self-discovery, though. What is modern in this novella is not only the negativity of experience and the destruction of the writer´s self-portrait, it is also the positivity of creative self-affirmation, realization of one´s own value and justification of the creative identity after her text was censored in the Slovenské pohľady.

The „Realistic“ as well as Modern authors modified Slovak literature at the end of the 19th century in different ways of representation. The study attempts to identify relevant features which show the authors´ retrograde motion expanding on the well-established national values and on the other hand the progressive literary motion heading towards the territory of the universal European values. M. Kukučín as the first of Slovak artists identified the central problem of the arts explicitly – the frequent incompatibility of an idea and its artistic form. He mentions a gap, an abyss which is impossible for an author to overcome. The study finds the Modern authors among those who admit the abyss moreover it become their creative base. The older generation tried to fill the gaps under the influence of the complete national literary system concept, especially those related to literary genres. In pursuit of establishing their own literary systems Hviezdoslav, Vajanský as well as Vansová have no interest in leaving free spaces for the readers to fill. The young generation of writers abandoned the ambition of the wholeness in the name of establishing the author´s subject. The context of Kukučín´s big unfinished novel projects, which present him as a complicated melancholic person – as opposed to what the tradition says, makes us realize that unwillingness to include these extensive prose fragments in Slovak literary historical continuity create an unfilled gap in Slovak literature of the 19th century.
