MARGINS OF LITERATURE The goal of the conference was to complement the question of literature with the question, which places the answer to “what?” into the answer to “where?”. Where does literature create and (from) where does it contact the other-s? Literature has a secure place in society, but the answer to the question, what this place or space of literature is, requires a thorough consideration.

COBISS.SI-ID: 28643165In talking about intercultural dialogue in Europe, we increasingly forget that this dialogue is possible in the context of historically mediated life forms that have constituted the European cultural consciousness. Intercultural dialogue, for which we strive today in Europe, cannot be established only on the level of social communication or cultural information. The »European encounter« has been achieved historically precisely in matters of philosophy, science, religion, art and politics.

COBISS.SI-ID: 2691700Interculturality does, in the variety of intercultural philosophy, impose itself as a value imperative of philosophical postmodernity. Philosophy that shows no intercultural competence is marked as »Europocentric« and »westerly hegemonic«. On the other hand we are facing doubts whether interculturality is even worth a philosophical consideration. This reserve has to do with the inured philosophical attitude that it has never set its role and tasks within the frame of some »culture«, even if it has, then only by the cultural critique means.

In his literature, however, extreme banality is often exposed as hollowness, a lack of humanity, in touch with the demonic. This applies particularly to his fantastic literature, that is, to his short stories from The Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka to the Petersburg tales.
