Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to reconsider methodological and theoretical model for comparative studies into regional post-Yugoslav literatures. It thematises the historic case of conference proceedings Komparativno proučavanje jugoslavenskih književnosti (1983, 1987, 1988, 1991; Zagreb–Varaždin). Aforementioned attempt to establish scientific organization in form of conferences and proceedings has not brought major disciplinary consequences, i.e. a methodological and theoretical model that would be useful for today’s post-Yugoslav (regional) comparative literary research. National literatures are not immutable cultural and historical formations, but it is a dynamic system of relations in the international context. This paper questions a formation of post-Yugoslav (regional) comparative literary research after the period of national emancipations and in the transition through the age of global mobility.
