The intellectual encounter between the social sciences and science fiction has been rich and varied.

The apologists of the Slavophile concept (such as P. Novikov and A. Th.

This conception remained highly unpopular among the Czech authors. The professional Czech historians, such as J. Kalousek and J.

Josef Jungmann (1773–1847) is traditionally considered to be the founder of Czech literary criticism (in the sense of Literaturkritik), although he did not, with a few exceptions, write the actual reviews of fiction, which were crucial for the development of the discussion of literature in the public sphere. The study is a reaction to the difficulties with Jungmann’s classification in earlier research and ranks him as a Czech type of national philological critic (cf. M.-G.

In the modern era, the institution of literature is being reconceived across Europe as a national institution.

In particular, some approaches separate time as subject from time as the principal element of narratives. Some approaches disregard the transhistorical plurality of temporal experiences, while others turn a blind eye to larger historical changes

Abstract:
This essay brings together two methods of cultural‐literary analysis that have yet to be fully integrated: distant reading and the critique of race and racial difference. It constructs a reflexive and critical version of distant reading—one attuned to the arguments and methods of critical race studies—while still providing data‐driven insights useful to the writing of literary history and criticism, especially to the history and criticism of postwar African American fiction, in particular James Baldwin's Giovanni's Room. Because race is socially constructed, it poses unique challenges for a co

Abstract:
In the past 15 years, there has developed in Hungary the basic skeleton of a serious infrastructure for SF production in terms of an organized subculture of writers, readers, publishers, journals, other accessible media of communication, and international relations. This subculture can draw strength from a strong indigenous minority literary tradition of fantastic writing whose contributors include some of the most important Hungarian prose writers of the 20th century—among them, Mihály Babits, Frigyes Karinthy, and Tibor Déri. Writing at an international level of literary merit continues to b

The author of the present contribution deals with the development of the Czech enigmatic prose since the 1960s which arose from a specific branch of classical science fiction by means of the gradual transition to the problem of enigma expressing the cinviction of the extraterrestrial origin of humankind which might radically change the whole concept of history of the Earth and our notion of the rise and fall of cosmos.This type of nonfiction has often an artistic character of belles lettres (fiction) which absolved of the responsibility for strict rationalism and the only right views shared by

Abstract This article traces the historical impulse in two intertextually connected dystopian texts – George Orwell’s 1984 (1949) and Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) – by reading the two novels in the context of the construction of historical narrative after the proclaimed ‘end of history’ in the twentieth century. It considers their representation of history within the framework of literary criticism of the historical novel (György Lukács), critical dystopias (Tom Moylan), and memory as an active, mediated engagement with the past (Astrid Erll and Ann Rigney).

The concept of “cultural memory” serves as the foundation for this article, which explains the complex relationships between two prominent figures in the history of English letters, Matthew Arnold and F. R. Leavis, as well as how A. S. Byatt’s own work was influenced by their combined, though occasionally diametrically opposed, approaches to literature, culture, and criticism. As a result, this article begins with a discussion of the conflictual continuity and/or sustained ambivalence in Byatt’s critique of Leavisite criticism. It does this by first looking into Leavis’s position within the la

Abstract The theory of possible worlds has been minimally employed in the field of theory and philosophy of history, even though it has found a place as a tool in other areas of philosophy. Discussion has mostly focused on arguments concerning counterfactual history’s status as either useful or harmful. The theory of possible worlds can, however be used also to analyze historical writing. The concept of textual possible worlds offers an interesting framework to work with for analyzing a historical text’s characteristics and features. However, one of the challenges is that the literary theory’s

Nevertheless, Czech sexology has not changed its attitude towards ‘therapeutic castration’, which remains widely accepted and practised. In this paper, we analyse the negotiation of expertise supporting castration and demonstrate how the changes in institutional matrices and networks of experts (Eyal 2013) have impacted the categorisation of patients and the methods of
