The Series of Scholarly Essays "Literary Studies"

Summary/Abstract: Shota Rustaveli Institute of Georgian Literature has initiated the implementation of the essential literary critical project: we have to deal with the series of literary studies, carried out within the frameworks of the scholarly grant project “Literary Critical Discourse. Contemporary Researches” (donor organization - Rustaveli Foundation). This series of literary studies envisages accumulation of the knowledge in scholarly essay format of the review-descriptive type and later their release. Two scientific essays of this series have already been published: Irma Ratiani’s “Theory of Genre” and Rusudan Tsanava’s “Metaphor”. The publication of similar scholarly works covering current literary critical problems and issues of literary theory are planned. This project is remarkable from two standpoints: Primarily, it is an attempt to fill in the gap that exists in Georgian literary critical reality, particularly in literary theory. Under the conditions of Soviet pressure assimilation and reception of Euro-American literary critical achievements and literary theories were banned (for example: psycho-analysis, structuralism, post-structuralism, literary hermeneutics, receptive aesthetics, new historicism, mythological criticism and others), however without the reception of current literary theories Georgian Literary critical process cannot develop. Secondly, this series has didactic value as well: the scholarly essays are primarily oriented on BA, MA and PhD students of humanities in higher institutions and would serve as the supplementary guide to literary theory and literary studies.
