Vladislav Tikov Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Bulgaria vtikov@abv.bg   The text examines Todor P. Todorov’s novel “Hagabula” through the prism of two concepts of world literature constructed by Johann Goethe (in the past) and more recently by David Damrosch. Using their concepts of world literature as a starting point for its analysis (the choice falls on them because they are authorita- tive), the text attempts to answer the question “Is “Hagabula” global?”, or more precisely, does it have the potential to become so, to enter the world canon? Keywords: world literature, concepts, postmodernism,

Introduction Serenella Iovino Translated from English by Iva Anastasova The article “Posthumanism in Literature and Ecocriticism” explores the intersection of posthumanist thought and literary studies in the field of ecocriticism. Serenella Jovino, a Professor of Comparative Literature, views posthumanism as a point where the human and the nonhuman are colliding – a point where the boundaries with the “otherness” are blurred. The posthuman is presented as a subject that considers significant matters such as human exceptionalism and the interplay between all forms of life. Keywords: ecocriticism; posthumanism; posthumanist house About the author:

Forms of Subjectivity in Han Kang’s The Vegetarian Zofia Jakubowicz-Prokop translated from Polish by Stanka Bonova Examining Han Kang’s novel The Vegetarian, Jakubowicz-Prokop brings together two contextualizing perspectives, namely the position of women in Korean culture as seen mostly in contemporary literature, and the role of plants as presented in Western philosophy. The main goal of this article is to explain the protagonist’s transformation as a process of becoming-a-plant – a process that presents the only possible form of freedom in a world of rigorous gender roles and

Spachil Translated from Russian by Lydmil Dimitrov Childhood in farms and villages of the Azov steppe, reading Russian classical literature, observation of natural phenomena in the Taganrog gymnasium, the Orthodox doctrine of the Apocalypse and human relationships with the entire created world are considered as key factors that influenced the formation of A. P. Chekhov’s ecological consciousness. The issues of forest conservation, careful attitude to the wealth of the animal and plant worlds are raised in many works of the writer, making up a kind of ecological hypertext.

This hypothesis is constructed on the basis of contaminations between ideas on nature and freedom, developed by Immanuel Kant in “Critique of Pure Reason” and “Critique of Judgment”, by Goethe, who appears to reflect on Kantian philosophy through the prism of his own creative practice and by Schelling. The aim here is to show the complementarity of their positions by focusing on the ideas on the dynamic

According to Losev and Tahoe-Godi, the researcher must simultaneously take into consideration nature as it is, from the point of view of its natural, meaningless objectivity, and be able to see and describe the poetic features of the landscape as clots of meanings conditioned by cultural and literary memory. In order to explore the landscape

Dealing with major late essays such as “Walking,” “Autumnal Tints,” and “Wild Apples,” as well as with Thoreau’s late books “Cape Cod” and “The Maine Woods”, the article underscores the nuances in Thoreau’s mature and already overtly ecocentrical thinking, thus
