Summary/Abstract: The paper presents selected opinions of the Bulgarian literary scholars on Bulgarian culture in a very specific point of time. The last decade of the 20th century in post-communist countries was a time of an increased interest in a cultural model.Even though the post-transformation period brings new methodologies and with them a new conceptual apparatus, Bulgarian scholars must again face the Revival-related (as well post-revival and pre-modernistic) issues, focused – for obvious reasons – on the concept of the canon and the Us-Them dichotomy. Three texts, about literature, translation and culture, respectively, are analyzed: Нация и литература в точката на “Балкана” (Nation and Literature in the “Balkan”) by Blagovest Zlatanov, Българското възраждане и Европа (Bulgarian National Revival and Europe) by Nikolay Aretov and The Self-Colonization Cultures by Aleksander Kiossev.
