Poetika existencie (Metodologicko-interpretačná štúdia)
The Poetics of Existence (a Methodological and Interpretatory Study

Summary/Abstract: The paper consists of two parts. In the first part the author focuses on the possibility to use the impulses of philosophical phenomenology, especially the part that reflects on the issues of existence and identity as a methodological tool designed for literary theoretical reflection. The core of the reflection in question is an effort to show the interconnection between literature as the image of the world in writing and a man’s life situation in the actual „lived life“. In this respect the author considers literary works as the „expressions of life“ - symbolic forms, which are a version of „revealing“ the motion of existence. The other part of the paper is a poetics-oriented interpretatory reading of a novel written by Janko Silan titled Dom opustenosti /The House of Loneliness/ and it is in relation with the first part as an attempt at verifying the theoretical principles of the „hermeneutics of existence“ in the practice of the hermeneutics of a literary text.
