Abstract
The research was subdivided into four related, though relatively independent fields of inquiry.
1. Focusing on historical and theoretical problems of Slovenian literature which so far have not been treated in full extent or thoroughly enough, or need to be re-evaluated, given the radical changes in literary criticism and in its historical context, a study on Slovenian poetry of “Moderna” period, a study on contemporary memoirs and autobiographical prose, a study on the relationship between metaphorical and rhythmic components in older Slovenian poetry and a study on principles and praxis of Catholic aesthetic and critical judgement of Slovenian literature have been set up.
2. The research on fundamental concepts and problems of literary theory, giving special attention to the role these concepts and problems played in Slovenian literature, has been prepared for publication in the series of monographical studies Literarni leksikon. Recently, a monograph on the Theory of drama was published; the study on intertextuality is also close to its end. Further progress was made in the research on modernism and in some other related fields.
3. The research on fundamental conceptions of Slovenian literary history focused on the period of institutionalization of literary criticism, greatly marked with the foundation of University of Ljubljana (1919).
4. As it aproached the new conceptions of textuality and subjectivity the research on theoretical and methodological changes in modern literary criticism after 1960 touched upon the problems of literariness, dialogism, globalisation and marginalisation in literary and cultural studies.
Individual results of the above sketched research are being published regularly and have been included into academic or other public lectures. The members of the research team published 8 articles in periodicals, 2 major contributions in books and 8 other articles. Eight times they gave public lectures; three researchers teach on university level.
