This article focuses on the emergence of literary canons and their forms with regard to the historiography of national literatures, particularly the historiography of Czech literature. The function of literary historiography in the establishment of a homogeneous literary canon is explained here using examples from authors writing in German in Czech works of historiography. Against this background, the article considers the possibilities and limits of the canonization or canonizations of Czech literature written in languages other than Czech and the possibilities of integrating such literature into the historiography of Czech literature. In this respect, particular attention is paid to the German‑language fiction of Maxim Biller, who was born in Prague in 1960, but left at the age of ten.

The contribution focuses on the question: to what extent is the Slovak literary canon grounded in the literary and aesthetic value of the texts it contains? In what sense, or, to what extent is the canon determined by eventual extra-literary, mainly ideological, matters? The paper does not examine the problem in its full extent; it rather demonstrates this upon the synecdochical choice of exemplary literary works, especially on the poetry by P. O. Hviezdoslav who emblematically embodies the national literary classic, as well as on the poetry by J. Ondruš. The paper points to a more general tendency in the practice of contemporary Slovak literary historiography which tends to classify work as canonical, disregarding its aesthetic value – structured at the level of intensional meaning – and considers only its extensional semantics. To be more precise, it rather follows an “extensionally represented” content – mediated in its different meta-textual form – which, on this level, is interpreted from extra-literary, mainly ideological, standpoints.

The text deals with the meaning of gender for literary historiography. It briefly presents the contexts and impulses of women's and gender studies from the second wave of the feminist movement which concentrated on life and work of women, and, later, on gender relations in the society. The article is particularly based on works published in the mid 1980s (Hiltrud Gnug - Renate Mohrmann, 1985; Sigrid Weigel, 1987; Joan W. Scott, 1986). In the Western Europe and the USA, this period was characterised by a dynamic development of the women's and gender studies, as well as by a strong subversive potential of gender. The definition of gender as an analytic category which has enough power to change historical and literary-historical paradigms comes from the crucial study of Joan W. Scott Gender: A Useful Category of Historical Analysis. In this study, the author puts the question how gender gives meaning to the organization and perception of the historical knowledge.
