The identity and relevance of literary studies require a conceptual and institutional reconstruction in response to the global reshaping and commodification of knowledge. The author thus proposes a theory of literary discourse and literary history that take into account literariness as an important socio-cultural phenomenon and revisits several critical concepts, such as world literature, literary text, genre, style, fiction, literary space, and cultural memory. Contents: Theory of Literary Discourse - Literary History between Narrative and Hypertext - World Literature(s) and Peripheries – Postmodern Textology and Electronic Media - The Structure of Literary Text and the Event of Meaning - Literariness - The Text and Genre - Stylistic Subject-Fashioning - Fiction, Reality, and Laws - Textual and Contextual Spaces - Cultural Memory and Literature

This critical edition shows that the manuscript of the Upper-Carniolan priest Adam Skalar can be placed among the most prominent works of the 17th-century Slovenian literature. The manuscript contains four texts that have introduced a new genre into Slovenian literature, i.e. meditative prose contemplating various biblical and mystical subjects. European “ascetic” literature of Middle Ages and the Renaissance first entered Slovenian culture through Skalar's writings. This scholarly edition, edited by Monika Deželak Trojar, includes critical transcription, facsimile, critical apparatus, and studies by Matija Ogrin, Majda Merše and the editor.
