Digital Collection of Slovak Prose
Digitálna zbierka slovenskej prózy
| Duration: |
1.7.2021 - 30.6.2025 |
| Program: |
SRDA |
| Project leader: |
Mgr. Navrátil Martin PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project is focused on applied interdisciplinary research in digital humanities. The aim of the project is to create
an online accessible and comprehensively annotated full-text digital collection of Slovak prose until 1951 (with
regard to copyright and GDPR). The digital collection of literary texts of this scope and characteristics is still absent
in Slovakia, which is especially felt by literary scholars and the wider professional public. The collection will be
processed and annotated according to European standards (ELTeC) so that it can be applied to advanced
methods of computer processing of literary texts, generally referred to as "distant reading". The project also
includes the education of scholars and the general public in the use of the digital collection of Slovak prose, and
dissemination of scientific methods based on distant reading to the wider range of humanities.
The main applied outputs of the project are following: an online digital collection of Slovak prose until 1951, an
interactive web portal, user guides, and a series of educational workshops |
Interactive hypertext lexicon of literary studies with a corpus of key literary studies texts
Interaktívny hypertextový lexikón literárnej vedy s korpusom kľúčových literárnovedných textov
| Duration: |
1.7.2021 - 30.6.2025 |
| Program: |
SRDA |
| Project leader: |
PhDr. Kuzmíková Jana CSc. |
| Annotation: | The main aim of the project is the creation of an interactive lexicon of literary studies terms in hypertext format
together with a corpus of texts from the said field. The project follows up on the work on the electronic Hyperlexicon
of Concepts and Categories in Literary Studies which was created in two VEGA research projects. The updated
and expanded Hyperlexicon will adopt new content-related and functional elements. In terms of function, the work
will be more interactive and open; in terms of content, the Hyperlexicon will now include important texts which in
their time helped spearhead new modes of thinking or even whole new paradigms. However, the hypertextuality of
the lexicon will still be retained. The experts who will author the new entries will not only summarize the current
body of knowledge but also conduct their own research and other related publication activities in accordance with
the aims of the project to provide even more up to date findings on the subject matter. We are convinced that such
a broad and synthesizing collaborative endeavor must be rooted in basic research. As of today, Slovak literary
scholars do not have access to a dictionary that would summarize the state of the art knowledge in the field in a
broad manner and across individual philological specialization and would be fully available to them online |
Creative Experiments with Text from the Perspective of Critical Posthumanism: Poetic, Artistic and Translation Practice in Slovak Culture in the International Context.
Kreatívne experimenty s textom v perspektíve kritického posthumanizmu: básnická, umelecká a prekladová prax v slovenskej kultúre v medzinárodných súvislostiach.
| Duration: |
1.1.2023 - 31.12.2026 |
| Program: |
VEGA |
| Project leader: |
Mgr. Hostová Ivana PhD. |
| Annotation: | Employing a combination of methodological tools from several disciplines, the project aims at scrutinising cultural artefacts (poetry, intermedia, translation) which by their form, content, process of production and ways of dissemination critically address current planetary situation. Theoretically, the project will be grounded in critical posthumanism and posthumanist attitudes. The corpus of works we plan to study will primarily concern projects developed and/or disseminated in the past two decades in Slovakia which we will view as part of international communication space. The project will focus on the changing relationship between human and non-human actors and accentuate materiality and affect. We will be primarily interested in those products and processes of non-conventional artistic, research and translation work and creative interaction between the human and the machine in which text plays a crucial role and which can also be viewed as critiques (of the society etc.). |
Literary-historical, cultural-historical and editorial treatment of Samuel Ferjenčík's manuscript notebook
Literárnohistorické, kultúrnohistorické a edičné spracovanie rukopisnej poznámkovej knihy Samuela Ferjenčíka
| Duration: |
1.1.2021 - 31.12.2024 |
| Program: |
VEGA |
| Project leader: |
Mgr. Braxatoris Martin PhD. |
| Annotation: | The subject of the project is a comprehensive scientific treatment of the German-language manuscript of the notebook
of Samuel Ferjenčík, an important, though in many ways underappreciated, the personality of Slovak and Hungarian cultural
history. This relic (approx. 160 manuscript pages) has so far been the subject of many publications (Slovak, Czech, German, Hungarian, etc.
This is also true of its relation to the author's printed literary production. Editorial
processing of the text includes its transcription, translation, elaboration of the textual-critical apparatus and provision of its
trilingual edition. The editorial treatment will be organically linked to the linguistic research of the text aimed at
with regard to the issues of translation and the problems of Slovak-Hungarian linguistic relations.
Literary-historical research will focus on the literary interpretation of the monument as a reflexive artistic
text. Emphasis will also be placed on aspects of the text related to the context of Slovak and wider regional cultural
history and the history of religious or philosophical thought.

Methodological Procedures in Literary-Scholarship Research with an Impact on the Media Environment
Metodologické postupy v literárnovednom výskume s presahom do mediálneho prostredia (FF UPJŠ Košice)
| Duration: |
1.7.2020 - 30.6.2024 |
| Program: |
SRDA |
| Project leader: |
Mgr. Hučková Dana CSc. |
| Annotation: | This four-year project is focused on the functional use of methodological procedures in an interdisciplinary oriented literary-scholarship research. It is based on the philological tradition of literary scholarship in Slovakia, it will be focused on the application of hermeneutic, formal, heuristic, structuralist, comparative, cognitive, and semiotic approaches with interdisciplinary overlaps into the media environment.The main objective is to increase the exactness in literary research, namely in the analytical-interpretative work with source texts (from the reception aesthetics, creation of perceptual codes to aperceptive methodological procedures) and in the review of inter-literary relations within the Czech-Slovak and Central European contexts (with the emphasis laid on genetic and poetological specifics of Slovak literature in wider cultural contexts). The overlap into the media environment follows the variability of the literary text (of not merely Slovak literature) as a media product (especially current trends in theatrical and audio-visual adaptations) especially with regard to the formal and thematic processing of the contemporaneous stereotypes in the socio-cultural context with functional use of specific methodological procedures. The objective of the project is to make available the monographically prepared outcomes of critical review of established theorems and their sustainable audio-visual mediation. Therefore, specific authors and artistic texts are in the centre of the monitored issues (on the genological axis of poetry, fiction, drama) with an emphasis on the late 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries. The scientific assumption is a change in the previous literary-historical classification of particular authors, in a qualitative re-evaluation of their poetics and creative contribution to the development of Slovak literature (with regard to the differentiation of Realism and Modern and aesthetic pluralism in the interwar literature). |

Modernizmus a modernizmy. Variácie, tranzície, prieniky
Normalization in Slovak Literature: Mechanisms, Actors, Production.
Normalizácia v slovenskej literatúre: mechanizmy, aktéri, tvorba.
| Duration: |
1.1.2023 - 31.12.2026 |
| Program: |
VEGA |
| Project leader: |
doc. Mgr. Barborík Vladimír CSc. |
| Annotation: | The aim of the project is to identify and research processes that determined literary culture and shaped Slovak literature from the late 1960s to the late 1980s—a historical period generally referred to as Normalization—as well as to analyse and evaluate literary production of the time. Today, this stage of literary development is seen as an integral part of four decades of totalitarian regime with all its structural characteristics. The project aspires to reconstruct literary field with emphasis on the way it was determined by socio-political situation of the Normalization period. The research will focus on three thematically and methodologically differing, but mutually related and reciprocal topics: (1.) intersection of literary culture and political spheres of power, (2.) positions of selected representative actors involved in contemporary literary culture, (3.) analysis of symptomatic aspects of contemporary literary production in their ideologically and aesthetically ambivalent forms. |
New questions about naturism.
Nové otázky k naturizmu.
| Duration: |
1.1.2023 - 31.12.2026 |
| Program: |
VEGA |
| Project leader: |
PhDr. Kuzmíková Jana CSc. |
| Annotation: | The project raises new questions about the controversial and unknown aspects of Slovak literary naturism in the interwar and postwar period. The aim is to open the interwar model of naturism. In particular, we will analyze the post-war work of naturists and also dissenting views on naturism in connection with the methodological orientation of critics of naturism. Another intention is to document books in libraries of naturists and to point out the contexts between the literary interests of the authors and their work. The related goal is the analysis and interpretation of cognitive parameters of naturism, its rational, irrational and emotional components from the point of view of the philosophy of that time and contemporary cognitive literary science. The project is methodologically framed by non-radical constructivism, applied in cognitive literary science, in addition to the methods of new historicism and comparative studies. The main result will be a book on problematic and unknown aspects of naturism. |

Slovak preach literature in the 19th century
Slovenská kázňová spisba v 19. storočí
| Duration: |
1.7.2020 - 30.6.2024 |
| Program: |
SRDA |
| Project leader: |
doc. PhDr. Brtáňová Erika CSc. |
| Annotation: | An important part of the Slovak literature is spiritual element, especially the genre of sermon or homily. In the
history of the Slovak literature, it has so far been given only marginal attention (during the communist period this
topic was deliberately circumvented and not all library and archival collections were accessible). This genre is also
important because it influenced the broad strata of the population, shaped the modern Slovak national and cultural
identity, and formed the same Catholic and Protestant communities. The project will map sermon writing in Slovak
language from the 19th century, primarily printed and secondary preserved manuscript. This is a basic research
project that will dominantly examine the original editions of sermons and the preserved manuscripts of sermons in
memory institutions. The aim of the project is to create partial studies, two anthologies (pastoral letters of Catholic
bishops; selection of classical sermons according to several criteria), preparation of the lexicon of sermon authors
and the monographic analytical-synthetic processing of the whole issue. |
Subject - Intention - Text (Subjects of Poetics of Older Slovak Literature)
Subjekt – intencia – text (Podoby poetiky staršej slovenskej literatúry)
| Duration: |
1.1.2021 - 31.12.2024 |
| Program: |
VEGA |
| Project leader: |
Mgr. Rišková Lenka PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project has the ambition to move the research on the forms of the subject in Slovak literature to its earlier periods (from
Great Moravian period. to the beginning of the 19th century). In an attempt to diversify the approach, the research team is designed
so that the research is adequately covered by specialists in the individual periods of older Slovak literature.
In addition to the temporal extension of the research, it also aims to broaden the key concept of the subject to include other possibilities
of its role in literary expression as a creative act. In this respect, the project builds on the theories of domestic and
foreign provenance (the communication model of the Nitrian school, the theory of speech acts, the Cambridge school
Contextual Hermeneutics). It will focus on the category of the authorial subject and the possibilities of its realization in
the different functions of lit. of speech, the problem of reader's reception and the category of intentionality, i.e.
author's intentionality, strategy or function of a literary work. The results have a relevant value in the interpretation of lit. texts and
in defining their social function.
