The publication is an attempt to describe (without the ambition to be exhaustive) the phenomenon of contrast in language, literature, and culture. Such a wide perspective allows a variety of possible interpretations and provides the topic with an interdisciplinary context. The scientific character of the publication is ensured by an organized choice of content aimed at analyzing the aforementioned points, based on a wide corpus of texts from various eras and countries, and the use of multiple methodologies supported by a carefully selected bibliography. Since the monograph addresses the needs of a wide range of readers (students, literary scholars, philologists, literature lovers and French language speakers), it has the potential to exert considerable social influence.

What distinguishes an adventure novel from a historical novel? Can the same text belong to several genres? More to one than to another? Have some existing genres been overlooked? To answer these and similar questions, José Calvo Tello combines methods from Linguistics (lexicography), Literary Studies (genre theory), and Computer Science (machine learning, natural language processing). Located in the interdisciplinary field of Digital Humanities, this study analyzes a newly developed corpus of 358 Spanish novels of the silver age (1880-1939), which includes authors like Baroja, Pardo Bazán, or Valle-Inclán. Calvo Tello's key result is a graph-based model of literary genre that reconciles recent theoretical approaches.

What makes a reading experience »powerful«? This volume brings together literary scholars, linguists, and empirical researchers to elucidate the effects and reader responses to investigate just that. The thirteen contributions theorize this widely-used, but to date insufficiently studied notion, and provide insights into the therefore still mysterious-seeming power of literary fiction. The collection investigates a variety of stylistic as well as readerly and psychological features responsible for short- and long-term effects - topics of great interest to those interested or specialized in literary studies and narratology, (cognitive) stylistics, empirical literary studies and reader response theory.

Documents insightful reflection on the current state of the field of the genre order of discourse, especially literary taxonomies. These orders are seen from the perspective of various methodological orders of the last few decades, developed in the area of postmodern literary studies. The conclusions emerging from these are examined from the angle of analytical utility of selected solutions. The study is successful at depicting the current state of the debates on the theory of literature and the dynamics of phenomena observed in the field of contemporary literature. It combines an in-depth theoretical analysis with sophisticated interpretations of the texts. Therefore, it skilfully transports theoretical discussions on to a concrete level. (excerpt from a review by Prof. Teresa Dobrzyńska) The fascinating book by Grzegorz Grochowski on the postmodern literary games is also a game the researcher plays with traditional genology and the aim of creating categories other than genre and text for this literary play: those of description and understanding. Discourse analysis leads theory of literature out of the narrow backwater of literary theories. It

The book under the title Chekhov in Sarajevo: The Works of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov in Sarajevan Theatre in Light of Bosnian-Herzegovinian Literary and Theatre Critique offers a systematization and analysis of BH critical thought concerning this classical Russian author, whose works were performed at professional Sarajevan theatres over the course of almost a century In that sense, the book in question represents, to a degree, a syn-thesis and analysis of the reception of Chekhov's opus in predominantly Bosnian-Herzegovinian literary critique, and moderately within BH theatre critique, which together point to the quantity and quality of Chekhov's presence on Sarajevan stagesThe book features a scale of development of BH critique, as well as changes in reception within the historical timeline of staging theatre plays;this is why a special emphasis is made on Chekhov's main dramas, which enjoyed a broader, stronger, and longer critical reception Other than the most prominent names of BH literary and theatre thought (Nazif Kusturica, Josip Lešić, Zdenko Lešić, Luka Pavlović, Tvrtko Kulenović, DževadKarahasan, Čedo Kisić, Gradimir Gojer, Ljubica Ostojić, Almir Bašović,and others) and relevant texts dedicated to the researched subject, the book also references anonymous articles concerning the topic, which were avail-able at the time of writing. One of the chapters is dedicated to the dramatization of Chekhov's short stories The Witch and Ward No. 6, which appeared only within the first artistic season at the Sarajevo National Theatre in 1921; this means that the potential which Chekhov's short stories had for theatre (and which were described as "short dramatic scenes" by BH critic Nazif Kusturica)remained mostly unrealised This chapter covers the general issue of theatre adaptation process for classic Russian prose in light of contemporary cognition, which identifies how the strategy of reading, especially theatre reading, is in fact a creative process in and of itself, the logic of which de-pends on various components which accommodate "the event of meeting"between the text and the reader.
