Based on the literary and cultural material, the article discusses two functions played by the term of emigrantology as a legacy of three waves of Russian emigration in the 20th century. The term was introduced by Lucjan Suchanek to the research space of Slavic emigration. It has systematized the area of intellectual and scientific self-reflection (including literary studies, historiography, philosophy and theology, and cultural studies), which developed in the community of Russian emigration. Additionally, the term provides modelling of the need for interdisciplinary and in the nearest future trans-disciplinary studies on the complex cultural phenomenon of Slavic emigrations. In this particular context, the article presents major research directions and achievements of Russian studies in Poland.

As the fundamental text for the study of artistic and literary avantgardes, Bürger’s Theory of the Avant-garde has been the subject of a wide and diverse critical reception. An especially contentious claim of Bürger’s is the one about the failure of neo-avant-garde art – a claim that cannot be separated from of his category of historical avant-gardes and the claim about the defeat of the pre-war avant-garde movements. Missing the construction of Bürger’s argumentation, different critics have pointed to different post-war artists and artistic movements which, through their work, revitalized avant-garde poetics with more or less success. However, by staying in the same framework of the Euroamerican capitalist West and its artistic system, these counterexamples could not offer a systemic intervention into Bürger’s theory. Due to its specific historical, social, and therefore cultural and artistic trajectory, the experience of Yugoslavia represents one of the possible points of departure for such an intervention. By focusing on existing interpretations of the relation between the Yugoslav avant-garde, neo-avant-garde and post-avant-garde, this article aims to show how the unique relation of the post-war avant-garde towards its tradition can contribute to the critical supplementation of Bürger’s theory and a more nuanced understanding of the possible relations between the neo-avantgarde and the avant-garde. In that sense, this article will try to show how the Yugoslav example is indispensable to a relevant discussion of artistic avantgardes in general.

The paper questions the construction of identity in the novels of Slovenian-Bosnian authoress Valerija Skrinjar-Tvrz: Na svojoj, na plemenitoj, Jutro u Bosni and Bosna i Soča, which were combined and published as a trilogy this year. Integrating the period of medieval Bosnia, the First World War, and the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992-1995 into one whole, the trilogy achieves multiple coding. Although distant in time, driven by different motivations, and intersected by different ideologies, wars shape the lives of the heroes of this trilogy. In this unique poetic entity, the authoress managed to show the complexity of common life through individual destinies and “small stories” and to deconstruct the conception that history is made up of “big stories”. The identities of individuals in the novels represent the identities of communities whose borders are porous and threaten to destroy the established systems, while individual unfortunate destinies are a mirror of collective traumas from the Middle Ages to modern times. The Trilogy covers almost the entire Bosnian history, trying to include identity constructions and their associated identification features, which the authoress considers representative of contemporary identity re/configurations.

For the poetic creation of Tomaž Šalamun, one of the most important Slovenian modernist poets, the experience of staying abroad was crucial. This was his voluntary and conscious decision. Referring to Said, it was his choice to give force to his creativity. Šalamun’s necessity to go out of home borders is closely connected with his understanding of the role of the poet. In his poetry, exile is represented as experience that allows him to establish himself as a poet, gives him the power to create and to step out of the conventional frameworks. The motif of living abroad is presented in a tense relation to home (both in terms of intimacy and socio-political space). Starting from Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism, the poet’s self-understanding of himself and his home is closely linked to the relationship with the other.

The pathway to founding a Slovenian periodical in the Habsburg monarchy of the mid-19th century was a long one. It took five years of effort by patriotic individuals who, in 1843, launched a newspaper for farmers and craftsmen: Kmetijske in rokodelske novice [Agricultural and craft news] rather than the political or cultural periodical that they hoped for. The publicist Leopold Kordesch, the printer Josef Blasnik, the state governor of Carniola Joseph Camillo von Schmidburg and Archduke Johann worked to bring it into being. In the cultural consciousness of the Slovenes, however, the spiritual father of this publication is the veterinarian, and secretary of the Carniolan Agricultural Society, Johann Bleiweis, who was the paper’s editor for decades after 1845. He introduced a consistent form of Slovenian writing, promoted the improvement of the general knowledge of his compatriots, and influenced their political orientation at a time when this newspaper was the only authorized periodical in Slovenian language.

The volume addresses important issues of Polish-Slovenian intercultural dialogue and its multifaceted nature. It has been divided into five parts, each dealing with a different type of relationship and often deepening and supplementing previous reflection on the subject. Some texts, moreover, uncover areas of Polish-Slovenian dialogue that are still completely unknown. The first part deals with direct Polish-Slovenian contacts, experiences that constitute a biographical feature and are related to various types of wanderings. The authors of the texts collected in the second part present intertextual relations in the sphere of themes and literary structures between Polish and Slovenian writers. In the next part, the authors' attention is focused on literary translations, which are an important manifestation of Polish-Slovenian and Slovenian-Polish intercultural dialogue and are an expression of the need to bring the two cultures closer together and to translate them through the medium of literature. The intercultural dialogue at the level of linguistic structures, content and expression, is described in the articles collected in the next part of the volume. The last part is devoted to the sphere of education, promotion of the language and culture of both countries, cooperation in the field of higher education or selected aspects of language policy in higher education in Poland and Slovenia. The volume Polish-Slovenian Intercultural Dialogue is the outcome of the first exclusively Slovenian academic conference in Poland and in the world devoted to cultural contacts between Poland and Slovenia.
