The research on contextualization of a literary work deals primarily with new reading of home and selected world literature, i. e. reading after the year 1989, when the conditions for free thought were favorable. Eventual interpretations put emphasis on inner-meaning structure of literary works and include also their anthropological and psychological aspect. The interdisciplinary view is an important issue in all the process of research. Thus the proposed method of contextualization starts with the literary work itself, moving the attention to the category of author, his individual perception of the world and reality and finally to the milieu or society where the author lives and writes his works. This is connected with the following reception of the work of art or with its absence, as well as with its influence. In the middle of the nineties there was an important work in Slovak Slavistic theory, 'Theory of Interliterary Process' (1995) by D. Durisin, which offers a compact conception of interliterary research, determined by the systematic interliterary studies. Durisin's works, with their open and sophisticated formulations, create conditions for unique, self-reliant and subjective approach to a specific field of research. This is legitimized by the substantial published material and many cited works of secondary literature. From the all Durisin's works the most instructive for our research is the category of typological context, which is viewed by the theorists as the basis of interliterary process. In our approach to the work of art and its contextualization the proposed method consists of the research of particular authors and their works in their particular literatures, meanwile the method of D. Durisin focuses on macro-structures and theoretical interliterary relations. His choice of authors is not coincidental, for him they are part of theoretical paradigm of modernism. His basic unit of analysis is thus the work of art and its creator. This analysis results in meanings, topics, motives, and adaptations on the basis of which the work of art is contextualized and which create the network of relations in the field of possibilities. A good example of this is a particular phenomenon, a writer, painter and businessman Hronský, who represents a complex of relations (the anthropological and psychological aspect), topics (the existential issues from the beginning of the 20th century), and techniques (self-reflection, lyrization). We want to emphasise the possibility to characterize this method, by placing it within the framework of deconstructive comparative methods. This brings it to the opposition to the artificially created, mechanically used and misused scientific terminology and techniques. The relations in literary science have been constructed for years and decades and it is necessary to take a closer look at them from time to time, deconstruct them and then rejoin them again, creating new working hypothesis.

This text is a response to a review of Petr Sommer's book 'Svaty Prokop. Z pocatku ceskeho statu a cirkve' (Saint Prokop. From the Beginnings of the Bohemian State and Church), Prague 2007. The concept of this book, which strives to provide an interdisciplinary view of the Early Middle Age and Prokop's personality was positively received. However, negative responses related to the concept of the organization of the early medieval Bohemian state, its church and the institution of private property. In response to these reproaches, the author explains why the argument based on Prokop's ownership of private property as the justification for the existence of private and heritable property in the Early Bohemian Middle Ages is unacceptable to him; why he does not consider the model of the feudal organization of society as antiquated and where the principles of organization of the early Bohemian state and its society lie. Furthermore, he discusses the possibilities of using legendary texts, penitentials and books of homilies for the reconstruction of Prokop's world and the degree of modelling permissible in the work of a historian who detaches himself from historical resources.

(Title in Slovak - 'Idealy neznej revolucie a ich premietnutie vo vyvoji sukromneho prava v prvych rokoch slovenskej transformacie spolocnosti (Historickopravna a filozoficka studia)'). The article deals with the development of private law since 1989, until the so-called Major Amendment of the Civil Code No. 509/1991 had been adopted. The author also tries to point out general socio-economic, cultural and moral development, which refers to the transformation of private law and the creation of law itself, very closely. Finally, the author reflects which ideals of the Velvet Revolution, in what extent and form, had been enforced in the 1991 amendment of the Civil Code. The excessive emphasis was placed on endless individualism after November 1989, very similar as collectivism has been subjectively upheld after February 1948 in Czechoslovakia. Subjective economic and political interests of a part of society were influencing creation of law. Concepts such as democracy, freedom, capitalism, market economy, privatization, or law have been perceived primarily from economic point of view, while not given adequate attention to their moral dimensions. Encyclical Centesimus Annus, adopted in the same year as the major re-codification of the Civil Code, offering number of inspiring initiatives unfortunately didn't become the right impulse to change this vision.
