The article reflects on the possibilities of employing the term communication as a basic element of its theoretical constructions in the area of literary studies. The author´s departure point is the conviction that literary studies are able to accept impulses from the systems theory only on the condition of being aware of their own constructs, their own term literature. Only a theoretically confident literary scholarship, i.e., aware of its own theoretical traditions, is able to conduct a productive dialogue with the systems theory. Everything else is merely clueless theoretical imports that only mask the meaningless of own theorizing. The reference point of his reflections is the 1996 lecture by Niklas Luhmann “Literature as communication”. The author perceives this lecture as the starting point for the conceptualization of literature as communication and at the same time attempt to sketch the effects of such theorizing of literature on literary theory.

A study without the questioning of the abstract model validity of the traditional linear concepts of literary communication is point to cases of literary communication with an essence that is not linear but rhizomatic. The material basis of the interpretation as variations of fairy-tale of 510 A type of “Persecuted Heroine” (Aarne-Thompson-Uther). The category of the author and production in case of the 510 A type dos not represent a “one-point” homogeneous systemic element, but a diversified network of “genetic focuses”. These are distributed in a trans-temporal manner, and at the same time, they show trans-cultural diffusion. And at the same time, some focuses are factually (textually) verifiable (Chengshi Yexian, G. Basile La Gatta Cenerentola and the others), and others constructed purely hypothetically (H. Bayley, R. D. Jameson). The central category of text as well as its reception is also characterized by analogical parameters (this applies to rhizomatic network of variations). This study of the mentioned material basis shows that literary communication in its traditional form already has a poly-dimensional multi-level nature based on binary principles: factual – hypothetic; definite – indefinite; delimited – confluent, derived – autonomous, diffused – parallel, convergent – divergent etc.

This article polemicises with one thesis contained in Anna Burzynska's book 'Anty-teoria literatury' (Literary anti-theory), Universitas publishers, Kraków 2006. He analyses a deconstructive criticism of the literary communication model, coming to the conclusion that it is unjust to juxtapose a communicationist, passive theory of reading, enclosed by models, and a theory of active and open-ended reading. He emphasises that the principle of reading-related activism, as postulated by deconstructivists, constitutes broadened knowledge on literary communication, whilst not being a critical 'turn' that apodictically crosses out the issue's theoretical past.

The article presents naming levels in the prose creations of M. Musierowicz to the year 2001 and her three latest novels, continuing the cycle called „Jeżycjada”. The goal of the comparison was to formulate comments on the properties of authentic names — their equivalents and variants — and successive attempts to incorporate such names into literary communication. The presentation covers the operations, mechanisms, and creative-communicational literary strategies of the writer, both in regard to her choice of the onymic sphere and to making use of the functions of names (or of compilations of them).

During the last decade of the twentieth century, the late professor Kazimierz Liman worked on the application of classic literary communication model in the research on the mediaeval chronicles. The result was a paper delivered at the conference The Mediaeval Chronicle which took place in 1996 in Utrecht, which has never been published as a whole. We have decided to include it in the present volume not only to honour the author, but also because we are convinced of its great contribution to the research on Latin mediaeval literature.

The article focuses on the reconstruction of discourses on literary communication in the context of German literary studies. In German literary studies, discussions on literary communication mostly refer to Niklas Luhmann’s attempts to apply the systems theory to literary studies – i.e., the study of literature as a communication/social system. Luhmann’s reception in Germany is very divergent and has a transdisciplinary character. It is not easy to identify elements of systems theory in the cross-overs of literary studies and cultural and media studies. It seems meaningful to focus on the study of literary/aesthetic communication, which is, however, a long-term project. What we can offer here is only a few explorations to clarify the contribution of system-theory-oriented approaches in literary studies, or, alternatively, its limits. The problem is that in the situation when certain elements of the Luhmann’s theory are isolated and integrated into various literary studies projects, it is not possible to speak of systems-theory literary studies as a homogeneous stream with clear aims and methods.

This article is a preliminary proposal of how to redefine basic narratological notions in reference to issues and analytical methods of cognitive narratology. In light of the latter, literary narrative constitutes an experiment in accepting and representing someone else's perspective (cognitive, emotional, perceptual). This fact has to do with the properties of one of the basic forms of human consciousness - namely, the functioning of intersubjectivity as a permanent orientation of consciousness toward presence of other people being perceived as intentional and mental subjects. The possibility of taking into consideration another person's perspective is one of the most important features of human cognition, one being of great importance to cooperation and communication. The authoress' original creation of a character and the reader's mental representation of the latter can be considered to be an act of imaginary simulation of somebody else's perspective. Making use of the cognitive model of intersubjectivity in the theory of narrative enables a new interpretation of phenomena related to literary communication, literary character, and reception of literature. It also allows for extending the issues of consciousness in literature beyond the limits of conventions of presenting the character's internal speech.

The study analyses the situation in literary reception. The first part, in short, deals with the most relevant Slovak works about reading. The second part explains the cognitive turn in literary research, its embodied mind standpoint and interdisciplinary approach, which involves also the scientific methods in the research. The third and fourth parts introduce the contemporary cognitive projects and new tasks in reception research, mainly in the British American world. The fifth part attempts to analyse and revise the reception works of Slovak scholars. A confrontation of methods and conclusions between the Slovak hermeneutical approach and the contemporary cognitive research shows the differences between the traditional autonomous perspective and interdisciplinary literary studies based on embodiment and neurophysiology. Extending cognitive research in brain processes during reading and afterwards as well as the scientific examination of the influence of literature on the recipient and society allow the formulation of testable hypotheses about literary communication. The cognitive science conclusions are an inspiration also for the general research of fiction and literariness. Only general interdisciplinary systemization of new understandings, methods and perspectives connected with literature, invented in contemporary sciences and humanities leads to deeper understanding of the emergent meaning of literature.

General systems theory has offered various options about how to conceptualise systems. Opposing Luhmann’s narrow conception of system, the author proposes to combine systems- and actor theoretical approaches in order to model social systems (including literature) as nonlinear, interrelated complexes of systems where causal structures depend – among other things – upon the decision of goal-oriented subsystems, namely actors whose sociality is introduced into the system via culture. The second part of this chapter is devoted to some consequences arriving from the observer problem; e.g. the mutual construction of system and environment, the relation observer: meaning vis a vis the operational closure of cognitive systems, and a constructivist reading of the concept of the ‘empirical’.

This is an analysis of the special situation in communication, which faced writers who published their works in exile publishing houses and samizdat. In keeping with contemporary literary anthropology, the author starts from the assumption that a literary text becomes literature in the process of communication. In other words, the author and the reader of his or her texts are to some extent prerequisites for the emergence of literature. In the absence of the reader, the writer was forced to come up with a strategy for survival and for the preservation of his or her individuality. On the basis of the works of Ivan Binar (b. 1942), Václav Černý (1905–1987), Sylvie Richterová (b. 1945), Ludvík Vaculík (b. 1926), and Bohumil Hrabal (1914–1997), the author demonstrates various forms of the thematization of the implied author, which became not only a means of expression that was meant to enliven the narrative or inveigle the reader in behind the scenes of the writing process, but also had the role of emphasizing the existence of the author as a human being who writes. In the difficult circumstances of their lives, writers in this period thus not only preserved their own individuality but also continuously constructed it.
