Annotation
The research themes of the dissertation focus on the following areas: 1. the peculiarities of the modeling of the fictional world and the representation of reality in modernist texts (in contrast, for example, to the literary trend of realism); 2. the world as a psychic projection of the subject and the resulting implications for the construction of the fictional world: the persistent and uncertain character of reality, frequent motifs of hallucinations, dreams, penetration into another (sometimes transcendent) reality; 3. the problems of the representation of the literary subject and modernist themes: problems of the individual, mortal love, melancholy. It is also possible to choose a monograph on the work of one author, for example, Ivan Minárik, or to analyze selected texts by several authors.
