            ******************************************************************************************
            Focused on the shaping of modern cultural identities, the research ranges from the major f

            cultural epochs, the Renaissance, Romanticism, Modernism and Postmodernism, to the interre
            of literature and other arts, namely theatre and film. The multidisciplinary approach comb
            others, semiotics, communication theory, philosophy and psychoanalysis explores relations 

            and technology, experimental art and pulp literature. The project is unique in connecting 
            reflection of contemporary critical theories with an internationally relevant research in 
            specialized fields, including Shakespeare, Joyce and Byron studies, as well as contemporar

            poetry, fiction and critical thought of Czech and European Modernism and avant?garde. Rese
            are represented in the executives of 6 international academic associations and members of 

            research groups. International research cooperation also includes doctoral programmes like
            Joint Doctorate Text and Event in Early Modern Europe (TEEME).
