The paper focuses on a textual analysis of Jiří Drašnar´s novel Desperados of the information age, attempting to determine the devices and narrative mechanisms by means of which the double, or rather triple cultural space is configured in the text – a space which is in its basic role manifests itself as an oscillation between indigenous and foreign spaces. The spatial aspect is discussed with respect to one of the contemporary trends of literary theory, the so-called spatial turn, which presents a methodological-thematic link in the post-colonial thought.

The objective of the article is to analyze different variants of creating spaces in Dorota Masłowska’s prose. It is an interpretation of the evolution of the author’s strategies of diagnosing the present, also performed through penetrating the space understood as a collection of cultural practices. The acceleration of the process of civilization changes is simultaneously a subject of Masłowska’s diagnoses as well as a factor determining the shape and destination of her creative accomplishments.

The article is a proposal of interpretation of Wacław Potocki’s seventeenth century romance Syloret. The author emphasizes that the poet’s neo-Stoical romance may be read in a universal way, as a reflection on the human condition, hardships of existence and variability of fortune, as the realization of the tropes, reaching back the ancient tradition, of peregrinatio vitae and theatrum mundi. She also draws our attention to the poet’s personal experience, which could affect the form of the poem.

The novel Víťazný pád ([The victorious fall] 1929) is the last work in the first phase of the oeuvre of the Slovak writer of Czech origins, Peter Jilemnický (1901 – 1949). Literary historiography has most often discussed the novel in the context of Slovak interwar fiction primarily in relation to expressionism and the lyricisation of prose. The paper focuses on the transformation of the main character as the determining element in the development of the plot and on spatial contrasts in the novel. It identifies the plane of the material world, through which the author reflects the social tragedy of life in the Slovak region of Kysuce, and the plane of the imaginative world, represented especially by the main character Maťo Horoň. With regards to the imaginative world, the article proposes the hypothesis that the novel’s poetics has ties with the aesthetics of Czech poetism. The novel was written between 1925 and 1926, a period that witnessed an ongoing debate about the suitability of the poetic programme as blueprint for art and literature for the new society. The article views the novel as a transitional work in the development of the author’s poetics.

In the second half of last century the literary criticism has produced a large number of studies about the literary space. Even today many scholars of literature, applying various lines of research, demonstrate that the space, as it wrote Janusz Slawinski at the end of seventies of last century, “is not simply one of the components of the reality of representation, but is the semantic crux of the text and of all its internal order.' This article - through analysis of the spatial structure of the tale “Przeprowadzka' by the polish writer Paweł Huelle, and particularly through the study of the relationship between space, time and others narrative elements such as setting, plot and characters - shows the attempt implemented by narrator to recover the lost space of memory. The narrative of Paweł Huelle represents one of the most prolific and topical trends of Polish fiction in the last twenty years, which tries to redefine the Polish values in a more open and modern view, whereby culture means above all exchange, mediation and transformation. The house of the tale, as well as his large garden dotted with the ruins of Great Germany, embodies the modern concept of the homeland spreading recently in European society, that is homeland as a place that is no longer just the land of fathers, but a space of a complex and layered identity, maybe conflictual and neurotic, but also conscious of its richness and diversity.
