Selected projects

Registration number of project: 1/0447/20 (successfully accomplished project)

Grant scheme: Research Grant Agency of the MŠVVaŠ SR a SAV

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

Implementation period: 01/2020-12/2022

Position: Investigator. 

Project summary:

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.


Registration number of project: vvgs-2020-1668 (ongoing project)

Grant scheme: Internal Research Grant System of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice

Project title: The Contribution of American Postpragmatism for the Status of Liberal Education in Contemporary Postmetaphysical Society.

Implementation period: 01/2021-12/2022

Position: Investigator.

Project summary:

The aim of the project is to objectively evaluate the approach of individual thinkers within analytical philosophy, pragmatism and neopragmatism. This includes philosophers dealing with liberalism, society, culture, and politics. Science and education also form an inseparable part of analytical philosophy, and these go hand in hand with the disciplines listed above. These partial but significant research problems will enable an interdisciplinary approach involving literature, ethics, and sociology. The investigators will also deal with the question of justice and the rise of unlimited individual freedom, as well as the rise of free societies. The investigators will base their research on key works by postmetaphysical thinkers, esp. by R. Rorty, J. Dewey, and H. Putnam.

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

Implementation period: 01/2022-12/2023 

Position: Investigator.

Project summary:

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 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, with the potential to be further studied in the production of different forms of popular culture.

Project title: Post-postmodern approaches to the depiction of urban and rural spaces in the contemporary Anglophone novel.

Implementation period: 01/2025-12/2027

Position: Investigator. 

Project summary:

The project investigates the depiction of space in contemporary Anglophone literature in a sample that includes texts from English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Canadian, American, Canadian and Australian literature. The research aims to map the current approaches to the depiction of space, which are characterized by a return to pre-postmodernist narrative techniques, tropes and means of expression. These returns to pre-postmodernist aesthetic strategies will be examined mainly from the point of view of their function in depicting the urban or rural landscape and creating the reader's perceptual experience. The project also focuses on the investigation of perspective, which plays a key role in depicting a place from a phenomenological point of view. The project aims to verify the presence of a metamodern sensibility, as defined by van den Akker et al, and to contribute to the investigation of current literary practices in the use of perspective in the depiction of space aimed at emphasizing ecocritical insights.

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

Implementation period: 01/2024-12/2025

Position: Principal Investigator.

Project summary:

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.
