The main goal of the study is to present the basic theoretical and methodological apparatus for the interdiscursive analysis of the use of negative and liminal knowledge in literature with the focus on speculative fiction. For this purpose, we use the original literary statements of the American writer Ted Chiang, in whose work the regularity of meta-discursive thematization of forms of constructing knowledge is manifested. We operate in the marked methodological vectors of constructivism, but with emphasis on its cognitive branch. The conceptual integration theory and research on counterfactual thinking is applied to connections of multiple special discourses in speculative fiction. Three distinct forms of knowledge (propositional, procedural and phenomenal) are covered in this research to understand the unique role of literature as an interdiscourse where knowledge can be communicated by what is untrue or unknown in science.

In what way have recent literary texts responded to impulses that have emanated from the concept of “interdiscursivity”? Based on the thesis that impulses have emanated from this concept to literature itself, which have been reflected on a thematic as well as on a formal level, examples of a specific text form are presented: that of the alphabetic-lexicographic compendium of terms and keywords. Referring to the concept of literary interdiscursivity, the article shows how and from which motives knowledge-discursive forms of representation are unfolded in lexicographic-literary texts – also and especially with a view to individual expressions of knowledge as well as to margins and boundaries of knowledge. Here, lexicography becomes an occasion to undermine the boundary between the factual and the imaginary (Jorge Luis Borges), to deal with theoretical discourses as with a pharmaceutical construction kit (Jochen Hörisch), to look at encyclopaedic knowledge from its margins (Christine Blättler – Erik Porath Margins of the Encyclopaedia) and to sketch imaginary philosophical discourses (Andreas Urs Sommer).

This article pays attention to the relation between historical knowledge and historical prose. It describes the historical genre as an interdiscursive invariant of the author and reader conventions. Its production and reception variants activate interdiscursive action, important for the proper functioning of the genre convention. The author focuses on thematic elements, which in historical knowledge represent a trace of the past – a proof of past events. The writer incorporates documents, photographs, facts found in archives, findings of archaeologists, etc. into the theme of the text. In examining different ways of incorporating these traces existing behind the text into fiction, the article treats Jozef Banáš’s Zastavte Dubčeka! (Stop Dubček!, 2009), Jaro Rihák’s Pentcho (2015), Pavol Rankov’s Matky (Mothers, 2011) and Silvester Lavrík’s Nedeľné šachy s Tisom (Sunday chess with Tiso, 2016) and Posledná barónka (The last Baroness, 2019). In historical prose, the rules of text reception include recognizing the correlation between the thematic elements and historical knowledge, as well as observing the creative transfer of these elements undergo to co-create new horizons of meaning.

This article draws attention to the specific way in which the important German author Christa Wolf turns scientific findings on memory into literary material in her work. Remembrance and the associated self-exploration and self-knowledge form the core of what Christa Wolf calls subjective authenticity. Her key self-reflexive texts stage the process of writing, in which self-questioning intermingles with reflections on the process of remembrance and the literalization of the phenomenon of memory. In the 1990s, the author became the target of traumatic discourse practices in the non-literary space. The article also addresses the question of how interdiscursive remembrance contrasts with stereotypical interpretations of the past. Its potential may stimulate a critical distance from hegemonic discourse and the communication of differentiated knowledge.

Taking its starting point as the fact that in modern cultures, the trend towards scientific specialization is an interdisciplinary tendency, which is being examined in the literature, the study reconstructs the scope of knowledge of Botho Strauß and Hans Lebert in the period from 1960 to 1980. Knowledge in literature and the production of knowledge in works of fiction by these authors is temporarily and thematically associated with the breakup with “Geschichtsphilosophie” at the intersection of natural sciences and cultural history. This process is located in the late 1970s, which is the time of the main interest of Strauß in natural sciences. It is followed by the interpretation of the Strauß’s novel Rumor (1980), in which geology plays a major role, and Lebert’s novel Die Wolfshaut (1960). The article also presents the impact that interdisciplinarity had on the genres of “Anti-Deutschlandroman” (Strauß) or Antiheimatroman (Lebert).
