The author presents the main trends in Russian post-modernist literature from the late 1960s to this day. He emphasises the distinctness of the ideas of Russian postmodernism from Western ones, making reference to the works of the most eminent representatives of the movement in Russia, both poets: Timur Kibirov, Dmitri Prigov, Lev Rubinstein and prose-writers: Pavel Krusanov, Viktor Pelevin, Vladimir Sorokin, and Tatiana Tolstoi.

Emerging adulthood is a phenomenon constituting the correlate of post-modernity and changes on the labour market, which affect particularly a young generation. It is a new phase in life, including the age of 18 to 25-30, the essence of which is experimenting with roles in life – in regard of family, love, work and changeability of worldview. The article constitutes an exemplification of threats which are caused by emerging adulthood to the development of the identity of a young generation. In the theoretical part of it, the article includes the characteristics of the phenomenon, and an attempt to indicate the factors which determine them. In the empirical part, it refers to developmental disorders of the identity, which are very characteristic for this phase of human life.

Victor Erofeev is one of the main Russian post-modernists, who applies to culture, religion, intelligence and Russia in his works. Knowing that a modern human moulded by the Internet and television is going to be the audience of his prose, Victor Erofeev tries to shock the reader. To do that he uses vulgar and physiological stylistics. The subject matter of the body and physiology, so typical of post-modernist anthropology, allows the writer to place his characters in the new but far from Russian reality. Erofeev, going into literary discourse with Fyodor Dostoevsky, shows deformed and “raped” human values, which were underestimated in the time of communism. Erofeevis worries if the present days will change this pessimistic process.

The article attempts to discuss the question of fundamentalism. After having discussed the Latin roots of the word, it analyses its origin, its modern use and presents certain characteristics of fundamentalism. In the second part of the paper, the relationship between religion and fundamentalism is discussed. The origin of fundamentalism can be found in a lack of “basic trustfulness”. It consequently follows that a post-modern culture may be understood as an incubator of fundamentalism, the reason being that fundamentalism is a reactive system which has a fear of pluralism. This is applied to the Slovak context of racism. In conclusion we suggest certain tools against fundamentalism.

India has occupied a prominent place in the Romanian literary and cultural landscape since the 19th century and it continues to do so in ours. The claim of an almost-tradition of representations of India in Romanian literature can be easily sustained via a perusal of the works of Mihai Eminescu (the national poet) and Mircea Eliade (the famous comparatist of religions). India enabled the former to surpass a certain anxiety of influence, at both ontological and aesthetic levels and came to constitute a cultural axis mundi for the latter, a powerful catalyst for a lifetime work. This article will focus on Octavian Segarceanu’s (Sega) spiritual travelogue, Namaste: A Novel of Spiritual Adventures in India (the first in a trilogy) and argue that in the Romanian contemporary literary landscape he is one of the most prominent continuators of writings either alluding to or focusing on India. His spiritual travelogue depicts a country perceived by the post-modern consciousness of the contemporary man, acknowledged as a network of multiple (and often antagonistic) cultural influences, but also a country echoing his predecessors’ works. An act of ontological rebellion inspired Sega, the copywriter turned writer to question basic, internal modes of existing and to focus not only on being but being-able-to-be. In so doing, the present article argues that the author/foreigner/wanderer both turns the readership into witnesses to the candid autobiography of his feelings, as well as surveys the makings of a cosmopolitan identity, situated at the crossroads between West and East, film and literature, philosophy and faith.

The contribution poses a question how we should dialectically handle the abundance of images, which we are presently flooded with, and implicates philosophical answers in the background of the image theory from Benjamin's essay 'The Work of Art in the Age of its Technical Reproduction'. Here the central role is played by Benjamin's historical troubleshooting of the relation of image and space, which we meet with also in many fragments of his 'Passages', and also his theory of the awakening from image intoxication. Notions like destruction of the aura, phantasmagorical image, or shock assume a key meaning. However, also other derived notions enter into the field of consideration, which supplement the gesture of 'positive barbarism', as for example 'practice', 'memoire involontaire' (M. Proust), or 'Eingedenken'. The author considers plausibility of these critical concepts and notions in view of post-modern art that he qualifies, analogically according to Benjamin, as 'dream kitsch'. In post-modernism where indiscernibleness of reality and fiction predominates, the urgent need for introducing a proportionality of the fictional into reality comes forth, which would lead to the creation of 'history poetics', built on the basis of the theory of metamorphoses, the modern germ of which we find in Benjamin already.
