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

Implementation period: 01/2020-12/2022

Position: investigator. 

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. Main project outputs:

Perception of the USA at Secondary and Higher Education Institutions in the Eastern Slovak Region through Local and Global Media 

01/2023-12/2024

Investigator.

Project summary:

This project focuses on analyzing the cultural perception of contemporary USA by the students of English bilingual secondary schools in the Eastern Slovakia region. Due to the current geopolitical and sociocultural atmosphere, as well as in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible to see increasingly critical attitudes in Slovakia towards the policy and culture of the United States, as well as an increase in the perception of the Russian Federation as a strategic partner to the Slovak Republic. In this project, a team of researchers with experience from a wide scope of cultural, literary and media analyzes will examine these attitudes and their sources with the goal of revealing the students’ perception of the fast-changing global sociocultural atmosphere and of the global media.

Main project outputs:

1. Dissemination and popularisation seminar on the project outputs, 2024.

2. Three publications of project investigators.

Project Title: Post-postmodern Approaches to the Depiction of Urban and Rural Space in Contemporary Anglophone Fiction

Project Duration: 01/2025 – 12/2027

Position in the Project: Deputy Principal Investigator

The project focuses on the depiction of space in contemporary Anglophone literature (English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Canadian, American, and Australian). It examines current approaches to the representation of space characterized by a return to pre-postmodern narrative techniques and aesthetic strategies. These returns are analysed in terms of their function in depicting urban and rural landscapes and shaping the reader’s perceptual experience. The project also explores the role of perspective in the phenomenological rendering of place, verifying the presence of metamodern sensibility (van den Akker et al.) and contributing to research on contemporary literary and ecocritical approaches to the depiction of space.

Expected project outputs:

1. Research studies in peer-reviewed and indexed journals (Web of Science, Scopus)
2. Book chapters in international scientific monographs or edited volumes
3. A scientific monograph summarizing the project’s main findings
