The article presents J. Noge's contribution to the study of Slovak children's and young adult literature, which he dealt with alongside his main scientific interest almost all his professional life. Although, almost two thirds of his articles were published in magazines, the research could not be carried out without detailed examination of all the editions of the magazine Zlaty maj including the discussions. Thus it was not only the reviews, studies, and analyses written by J. Noge that served as research material but also contributions of other writers whose opinions he shared or opposed. The result is a piece of writing, which tracks J. Noge's work, from his first 'encounters' with children's books (mostly reviews), to comprehensive studies and analyses published in magazines, to complex scientific works such as monographs Proza Klary Jarunkovej (Klara Jarunkova's prose,1979) and Literatura v literature (Literature in literature, 1988). The main focus of attention is Noge's hypothesis, which he formulated in the late 1950s and thirty years later finally confirmed in his work Literatura v literature. It is about the relationship between children's and young adult literature and adult literature, to put it simply, between 'small' and 'big'. Noge was an enthusiastic promoter of those two being inseparable and mutually conditioned. Tracking his activities in this area the article helps form a complex picture of Noge's scientific work.

(Slovak title: Autor a jeho kritici: dve desatrocia (Porovnanie kritickej reflexie diela Vincenta Sikulu v sestdesiatych a sedemdesiatych rokoch)). The article compares critical reflexions of Slovak prose writer Vincent Sikula´s production written in two periods of his creative work. It is an attempt to write a preliminary typology of the 1960s and 1970s literary reflexions based on partial resources. It seeks similarities and differences between literary criticism´s discourses of the time in question. The 1960s, especially the second half, saw liberating tendencies in the Czechoslovak society, which also affected literature and its reflexion. The outcome of the changes was gradually emancipating criticism and its separation from the ideology. The process can be tracked through the dominant means of expression of critical reflexion: in comparison with the previous period of time there is no historical interpretation of a literary work of art based on the historical materialism of the Marxist provenance and what gets to the forefront is the individual - 'a human'. In the following decade, after the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, under radically different social and cultural conditions, which are nowadays called Normalization, the reflexion of literature returns to the previous concepts (1950s) and tries to adjust them to the new situation. The article builds on one type of 'evidence' - the voice used by the criticism of the time in question. Wider cultural-political and historical contexts have been deliberately avoided in the article: original organization of the material based on meaning similarities and differences have been preferred to uncovering reasons, while contrast and similarity have been used to shape the two chosen periods of time. An attempt to track certain words appearing and disappearing or their meaning transformations has been made: the absence of 'history' or aversion to it in the 1960s, its strong presence in the following decade; dominance of 'human' in the former period and his subsequent dilution in history or in the concept of 'people' in the latter; hypertrophy of art´s cognitive function (noetic) in the 1960s and its withdrawal from the literary discourse in the 1970s; as well as an attempt to revive certain concepts (socialist realism) connected with the inability to fill them with a meaning and functional definition.
