Research goals: The aime of the project is the exploration of the semantics of various types of the narrative text. The confessional and biographical models of late medieval autobiographical texts of European Latinity are researched with special refrence to the possibility of shaping individuality and subjectivity. The theory of possible worlds is the starting point and the theoretical basis for the analysis of the corpus of fictional texts in literary realism, where the elaboration of the relation between the literary and historical worlds are of special importance. The so-called postmodernist historiographic and fictional models from various national traditions are also explored with the aim of establishing the relation between the contemporary tendency of the fictionalization of historiographic writing and the historization of the novel. Exploration of narrative space through three key problems: semantic, pragmatic, and receptionist, which should reveal the history of the types of its formation and describe the reasons and preconditions of its changes in the history of literature. The semantic level of "citatnost" will be explored in the works of Danilo Kiš. The project constitutes a significant contribution to the semantic historic exploration of literature. His results will be edited as a few independent monographs.
