V prerezu slovenske empirične literarne znanosti

Abstract

This article describes and critically evaluates the status of the field of empirical literary studies, and in particular publications that represent an "orthodox" variant of empirical literary studies. It attempts to overcome the stagnation in conceptual and theoretical discussions by rethinking certain recent cognitive research projects. An equivalent role is acknowledged for research that employs primarily empirical methods and contributes to the empiricization of literary studies. Major names, achievements, and institutions in Slovenia that carry out empirical studies are noted.
