Abandoning its exact subject and methodological delimitation, contemporary comparative literature rather takes the form of intellectual reflection whose interdisciplinary linkage lies in the aspect of comparison. Among the major contemporary initiatives, the most prominent are two, known as the intercultural research and imagology. Whereas intercultural comparative studies explore interlocution between cultures through understanding 'otherness', imagology deals with the themes and motifs of the 'other landscapes' in literary texts, using its own and the other people's images. Such images mostly originate in the form of stereotypes and myths representing concrete social and ethnic communities. Thus both methods which exploit emotional experience in the literary communication can advance dialogue between nations (e.g. Czech-German or Slovak-Hungarian relations).

In Central and Eastern Europe, the research into inter-literary relations traditionally drew on national concerns emerging naturally from the proximity of a great number of neighbouring nation states with their distinct cultures, or national minorities living within a majority culture. Yet the contacts or relationships with structurally and typologically different cultures have remained outside of critical attention. Studying them requires not only some knowledge of the extra literary context in which those cultures are situated, but a methodologically different approach as well, such as is used in postcolonial or decolonial theory, Orientalism, imagology, etc. The paper draws attention to the problems connected with comparisons using these approaches, especially imagology, as their main methodological tool. At the same time, it aims at finding out how such approaches contribute to the understanding of cultural, ethnic, biological or material “otherness” (especially through stereotyped imago typical structures), and whether it is possible to transfer, for example, the imagological concepts historically created in a certain context to a cultural area of a different civilization, and use them to analyse the nature of the literary.

Andre Gingrich’s concept of frontier Orientalism focuses on the former Habsburg Empire, which has been overlooked by Orientalist and postcolonial studies. Through a comparison of Slovak, Polish, Hungarian, and Czech novelists, including Janko Kalinčiak, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Géza Gárdonyi, Jaroslav Durych, and Jozef Horák, this study shows how the genre of historical fiction evoked what Gingrich calls Central Europe’s “timeless mission” of defending the frontiers of the West from Eastern barbarians, as a metaphor for the repression of minority identities.

The paper focuses on the literary representations of Bratislava in Czech travelogues and formulates various narratives of those depictions of the city that are related to the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1918. The paper compares Karel Kálal’s and Ivan Hálek’s travelogues of the so-called pre-coup period – the period before 1918 – with texts of the same genre written during the First Czechoslovak Republic (Jakub Deml, Josef Váchal, Karel Čapek, Marie Majerová, S. K. Neumann). The travelogues drew attention to the traditional culture of Slovaks (represented by Karel Plicka’s photographs) and sought new forms of Czech-Slovak relations in the political atmosphere of the so-called Czechoslovakism. Bratislava, which entered new cultural relations with the establishment of the new republic, occupied a specific place in these. The reconstruction of the image of Bratislava in the analysed texts shows that it did not become the main symbol of the changes that took place after 1918. The travelogues represent it only marginally and Bratislava corresponds to the perspective of the so-called null morpheme. The article employs the theory of imagology and, marginally, also theories of post-colonialism.

The study attempts to identify the “inter-literary network” of the post-Romantic period from the perspective of “small national literatures” through an analysis of two Central European texts: Faustiáda (1864) by the Slovak writer Jonáš Záborský and Doktor Faust (1844) by the Czech writer Šebestián Hněvkovský. Although in the history of their respective literatures, both texts rank among the classics, they have been seen as “antiquary relicts” because of their genre hybridization, literary-orientation interference, and parallel coexistence of two different poetics within individual texts. The works belong to the genre of “Faustiads” whose purpose is to demythicize and desacralize the Faustian theme. The parody-humorous form or didactically patriotic presentation enables them to cope with the historical philosophy of their nations. The inter-literary interpretation of these works results in the transformation of fixed negative reflections in the literary discourse and in the confirmation of the diversity of the Central European post-Romantic tradition.
