Project title: Mobility in 21st-Century Literature and Film

Implementation period: 01/2022 - 12/2023

Position: Principal investigator

Description: This project aims to analyze the concept of mobility in recent literary and film production, focusing on the impact of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. As the object of the analysis, mobility is studied as a narrative device that shapes preferred representations of identity and, with respect to post-postmodern theories, examined as a device to project the contemporary situation of individuals affected by pandemic restrictions in Western society. This study of cultural products has an interdisciplinary character as it combines literary analysis with film analysis, with the potential to be further studied in the production of different forms of popular culture. Moreover, it has a potential for a continuing topic due to the presupposed long-lasting pandemic aftermath. The project also has public outreach as one of the outcomes is a cycle of popular lectures with the ambition to motivate the public to appreciate cultural products actively and critically.

Project title: Global and local in postmillennial Anglophone literatures, cultures and media.

Implementation period: 01/2020-12/2022

Position: Researcher

Description: The project aims at creating intersections between the theoretical writings on globalization, the theoretical writings on identity and recent theories of the new post-postmodern cultural paradigm. This theoretical basis is used to study the tension between the discourse of globalization and the identity discourse reflected in the representations of the global and the local in postmillennial Anglophone cultural production.

Project title: Postmillennial sensibility in Anglophone literatures, cultures and media.

Implementation period: 01/2020-12/2022

Position: Researcher

Description: The project aimed at creating intersections between male theories of the postmillennial cultural paradigm and female theories of postfeminist culture. Through the analysis of a representative sample of literary, broadcast media and Internet texts the project team tested the validity of still developing theories of the new cultural paradigm and emphasized more gender-based explorations of metamodernism.

Project title: Food in 21st century fiction and film: An ecocritical perspective

Implementation period: 01/2024-01/2025

Position: Researcher

Description: Ecocriticism and food studies are new and dynamic disciplines that have come to the forefront of literary and cultural criticism in the 21st century. Both deal with issues that are central to today's global society. At the same time, both reflect upon themes dominant in the cultural production of the 21st century: the relationship between humans and their environment, the role of the body and corporeality in human society, the interconnection between the sensual and material and the abstract and intellectual, or the role of capitalism as a determining force in modern society. The research conducted within the project will involve conducting an ecocritical reading of the representation of food and drinks in anglophone literary and film texts with the aim of contributing to the ongoing debate in both fields (ecocriticism and food studies). The project further aims to bring together these similar but, paradoxically, academically isolated disciplines. An equally important goal of the project is to disseminate the ideas generated through this academic debate among the wider public. It is our hope that these ideas can help individuals adopt a more critical way of thinking about the ecological age in which we live.

Project title: Discourse in the Face of the Ecological Crisis

Implementation period: 01/2026-01/2027

Position: Principal investigator

Description: This project builds upon ongoing research centered on the ecocritical discourse in literature and film. It further develops and broadens the thematic focus on ecology and ecological narratives in cultural production by integrating linguistic, semiotic, and visual dimensions. The analysis concentrates on the ways in which discourse articulates and mediates ecological consciousness. Such a conceptual expansion situates the research within the frameworks of multimedia ecolinguistics and ecosemiotics, positioning film and literature as key cultural media through which ecological narratives are not only produced but also reinterpreted, thereby challenging dominant social ideologies.

The project thus seeks to contribute to current academic debates concerning the relationship between language, image, and environmental thought, placing particular emphasis on the intersection of literary, visual, and cultural research. This broadened theoretical framework will enable the investigators to examine primary sources as sites where the aesthetics, meaning, and ethics of ecological representation converge, thereby advancing a deeper understanding of the role of literature and film in shaping ecological sensibility within contemporary society. An important part of the project is the presentation of results at international conferences (e.g., ESSE 2026), which will enable broader engagement in the international scholarly discourse and create the conditions for high-quality publications in the field of cultural studies.
