The aim of the paper is to criticize Stanley Fish's views on interdisciplinarity (particularly as far as his account of interdisciplinarity in literary studies is concerned). The first part of the article consists of: (a) a summary of his critique of the so-called religion of interdisciplinarity; (b) a description of Fish's theory of disciplinarity that underlies this critique. In the second part of the article, I provide a criticism of Fish's theory. I begin by presenting some counterexamples to it. Then I attempt to demonstrate that Fish's views are self-refuting. Finally, I argue that besides these theoretical reasons, there is also a practical reason why Fish's position needs to be questioned.

The presented study deals with the concept of Art Nouveau in Czech literary studies. In the first part, we try to outline the meaning that literary critics assigned to the term Art Nouveau at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, when this term first began to appear in the Czech language environment. In the second part, we introduce the basic approaches to the term Art Nouveau, which numerous literary historians have applied in their works in many variations over the years. The aim of the paper is to point out the ambiguity of the term Art Nouveau, the core of which lies in the insufficient distinction between the original meaning of the term(from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries) and the later meanings that literary historians began to ascribe to it. The aim of the thesis is also to infer criteria from the presented analyses and interpretations, the observance of which would lead to a clearer usage of the term Art Nouveau and, consequently, to its introduction as a justified literary-historical category

The article attempts to characterize literary practices which have emerged in recent decades due to the rise of new technologies. The titular “textual games” are experiments which test the stylistic and genre durability of popular literary works. They give rise to new technological formats and new genre variations (gamebooks or works written by artificial intelligence). As such, they also create a new and unique aesthetic and formal landscape and provoke reflection on contemporary literary practices and research strategies that can be used to describe them.

The article characterizes literary practices emerging in recent decades, under the influence of new technologies. Within contemporary adaptation practices, we are dealing with peculiar “text games” that aim to test the stylistic and genre strength of known literary works: leading to the creation of their new technological formats and designing new genre varieties (gamebooks, literary works, or works written by artificial intelligence). In addition to creating a new aesthetic and formal landscape, they provoke reflection on contemporary literary practices and research strategies that can be used to describe them.

In the contemporary literary studies, the category ‘motto’ has a well-established position, although one often meets an opinion that a uniform theory of universal motto has not been developed yet. This article is an attempt to synthesise the existing findings about the motto. It presents an overview of the most interesting research positions. This allows us to illustrate, in general terms, how the meaning of the motto changed from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, and how it evolved from a very general blurry meaning to the one representing the main characteristics of intertextuality.

The interpretational study "Masks of Desire" is based on the novel by Michal Ajvaz - Cesta na jih [Journey to the South] although its line of argument takes considerable account of the author´s entire fictional and theoretical output to date, as the connection both between individual fictional texts and between them and the theoretical texts is very close and evident here. First the study casts doubt on the classification of Michal Ajvaz´s work as postmodernist, as this only applies - as in the case of other "labels" (magic Prague literature, magical realism) that have been stuck on Ajvaz´s work - on the basis of superficial similarities. This study does not refute the association with formal principles of discourse that is designated postmodern, but it does stress that Ajvaz´s work departs intellectually from such discourse, while referring at the same time to the author´s repeated polemics with postmodernism at the level of theoretical considerations. Attention is also focused on the concept of the "total void", the intertextual and self-reflective aspect of the author´s work, the relationship to myth or the motif of desire and the specific conception of the erotic.

The article is an extensive review of Joseph North’s book Literary Criticism: A Concise Political History. The author divides the 20th and 21st century literary studies into two orientations: critics and researchers, showing that the domination of the research perspective from the 80s led to a paradoxical depoliticization of criticism and deprivation of its intervention potential. To restore the critical potential, North postulates a return to materialistic aesthetics under the sign of I.A. Richards, which allows him to cross the research horizon in a gesture of intervention into a common reality, justified by a specific aesthetic experience.

A Polish scholar, literary critic, university lecturer, theatre lover, great organiser and speaker, an associate of a number of scholarly journals and newspapers, a man of impeccable manners, and patriot, Marian Szyjkowski undoubtedly stands out as one of the most outstanding examples of the Polish-Czech research co-operation, or even of a much wider ‘mission – to bring both nations closer to each other‘. Szyjkowski‘s life began in Lviv, then the capital of Galicia of an autonomous era. The atmosphere of his family home, the Polish-language high school and an extremely high level of university studies were a formative infl uence on Szejkowski. Next came Kraków, with its Jagiellonian Library, subsequent degrees, signifi cant publications, PAU (the Polish Academy of Learning) membership. His life nevertheless took the main turn when Szyjkowski became the Head of a newly established Department of Polish Language and Literature at Charles University in Prague.

The anthology, in which the doctoral students from the universities in Trnava, Ústí nad Labem and Wrocław express themselves scientifically, was created under the project “Internalization and development of doctoral studies“. The aim of this anthology is to publish the texts of postgraduate students from Slovakia, Poland and the Czech Republic. The diverse topics from the field of linguistics and literature were seized in the anthology. Writers such as Georg Trakl, Jan Faktor, Thomas Mann or Stanislav Struhar are the focus of some of the articles. Such motives as landscape, garden, identity or migration are also discussed. The linguistic texts deal with compound words, lexemes, swear words, cardinal vowels and language varieties. The topics presented provide a good basis for further discussions. A total of 17 articles can be found here. They are proof that young people are interested in science and they research new topics by themselves. The diversity of subjects indicates that linguistics and literature are a repository of knowledge.

The article contains a synthetic overview of the trilogy The Age of Theory, edited by Danuta Ulicka. It is the first comprehensive study of the achievements of Polish theoretical literary studies since its birth in the 1920s. The edition includes a multi-author monograph, organized according to “cultural themes” (as understood by Opler), to which the author of the article devotes most of her attention,and an extensive selection of texts preceded by factual introductions (two volumes of anthology) representative of the problem blocks discussed in the first part. Without questioning the content of the anthology, and especially the cognitive value of the monograph, which is based on innovative methodological assumptions and proves that modern literary theory was born in Central and Eastern Europe, and Polish works played an important role in its development, the author wishes it included the work of W. Borowy, the pioneer of intertextuality or J. Baudouin de Courtenay’s texts, which foresaw heteroglosia and minus-device.

Th e purpose of the article is to show comparatistics as a promising perspective of current humanistic research, especially in area of extending possibilities of analysis and interpretation. In times of profesionalization and specialization of knowledge, comparative research are rarely undertaken and for that reason, it makes a cognitively and interpretatively interesting situation. Th e case analysis applies to using comparative method on the ground of history of historiography (A. Kożuchowski) and literary studies (D. Zawadzka).

The author, inspired by revealing remarks of Th. W.

The cognitive information processing system is a key cognitive mechanism that enables both the perception of the world through experience, as well as its creation, among others by creating new mental objects. The literary work is an excellent area of research due to the fact that it contains the implementation and examples of the functioning of the human cognitive apparatus. The article deals in particular with the theory of amalgam as a cognitive system of formulating meanings. The conducted analysis concerns mainly the recognition in a literary work of the types of mental operations taking place in the process of their production. A literary example to be analyzed will be the Gothic novel Castle in Otranto by Horace Walpole.

This article considers the consequences of rejecting axiological ambiguity in the sphere of human experiences and reflection, as observed in statements made by lower secondary school children as part of a study Teaching language and literature in secondary school in light of the new core curriculum. The negative consequences are indicated of interpreting the world as one locked in the values of extreme opposition, based on an analysis of students’ interpretations of Balladyna by Juliusz Słowacki and Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising by Miron Białoszewski. The risks may include alienating the student from reality, as well as the reformulation of values into a set of anti-values, which excludes the possibility of reaching interpersonal agreement. Constructing a personal axiological system on this basis can occur only at the cost of discrediting the values of others, who are denied the right to have them from the outset. In such a world, there is no place for dialogue about values differing from those already held.
