Súbor štúdií zaradených do monografickej publikácie Duchovnosť v (re)interpretácie diel slovenskej literatúry vznikal a dozrieval postupne, v priebehu viac ako desiatich rokov (2003 – 2015). Niektoré štúdie boli súčasťou obhájenej dizertačnej práce Kompozičné a sémantické osobitosti slovenskej medzivojnovej prózy (Prešov 2005), iné vznikli v rámci vedeckovýskumných (grantových) projektov, no všetky sa dotvárali na pozadí precizovania vybraných metodických prístupov. Štúdie boli postupne publikované v odborných časopisoch, vedeckých zborníkoch doma aj v zahraničí (presné údaje uvádzame v poznámkach pod čiarou aj v edičnej poznámke). Do monografie ich zoraďujeme podľa obdobia vzniku, nie publikovania, aby sa zachovala genéza autorkinej vedeckovýskumnej profilácie. Ich usporiadaním sú sekundárne rešpektované aj analyticko-interpretačné prieniky do poetiky konkrétnych textov. To je dôvod, prečo sa najprv uvádzajú práce zo slovenskej medzivojnovej literatúry a až po nich nasledujú tie, ktoré sú orientované na tvorbu slovenských realistov.

The monograph entitled The first Slovak women’s magazines: Dennica, Živena, Slovenská žena (1898–1923) provides a general view of the initial stage of the formation of women’s magazine production in Slovakia, defined by a period of 25 years at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries between 1898 and 1923, in the context of the historical and social development, to which the Slovak journalistic milieu inevitably responded.

The publication is a result of detailed material research of Slovak historical periodicals, implemented mainly from the perspective of the mediological methods and standards of research work.

The monograph deals with the issue of social protection of the family, where the basis is a view of the family as a natural part of human and social life. The starting point is provided by the institutes that create and structure it, influence its value orientation, the development of social relations within the family, but also relations to the social environment.

In broader contexts, the monographic treatment of social protection provides the results of transdisciplinary knowledge. It deals with the work of helping professionals with functional and non-functional families and families with special needs. It offers problem solving through tailored methods, techniques, procedures and measures used by various helping professions in the field of social protection and social guardianship.

It is very difficult to refer to any act of extremism or action having extremist characteristics, or to exclude it unambiguously. The boundary between extremism and accepted, conformal behavior is very broad and vaguely worded. Each company tends to set certain criteria to determine what can be considered as unwanted, violent, radical or extreme, or what signs of such a manifestation do not have. Therefore, when comparing the individual countries of the European Union in this area, we come across a different definition of what is or is not considered to be radical or extremist. In essence, the level of tolerance to some of the manifestations and the setting of indicators for the evaluation of the proceedings as extremist.

The presented monograph aims to present the basic social contexts of extremism and radicalization in the form of their philosophical and theoretical backgrounds, influencing the factors, the basic directions. In the author's work, the authors focus on the target group of adolescents, which they consider to be one of the most endangered groups in society in terms of development of the radicalization process. At the conclusion of the monograph is also offered the criminal level of these phenomena, which is not unavoidable in terms of complex analysis.

Selected chapters from axiology are the result of the author's multi-year research work and also a certain fulfillment of the requirements from pedagogical practice in this subject. The chapters in this synthesizing form have not been published yet, and I am convinced that precisely in this form they can acquire higher value and greater real impact on our philosophy students.

Individual chapters focus on the problem of the collapse of traditional values, often leading to nihilism and loss of meaning in human existence. It is no coincidence that Friedrich Nietzsche, a philosopher who first called for a reevaluation of all values, is a common denominator among these texts. Another key figure is F. Dostojevskij, a Russian philosophising writer who views nihilism—the problem of value destruction—differently. The goal of these texts is literally to provoke our students so that they independently and creatively address questions related to the meaning of their own existence.

As I am convinced, our time presents a great challenge for new, original ideas and axiological judgments that have always preceded cognitive ones. To what extent my intentions and goals have been fulfilled remains up to the reader to decide.

Po dvoch zväzkoch publikácie Doktorandské miscelaneá, v ktorých sa predstavili viacerí doktorandi Filozofickej fakulty UPJŠ v troch študijných odboroch (Literárna veda/Slovakistika, Filozofia a Psychológia – 1. zväzok; spolu 16 príspevkov), resp. v štyroch študijných odboroch (Psychológia, Filozofia, Literárna veda/Slovakistika, Britské a americké štúdiá – 2. zväzok – spolu 13 príspevkov) predkladáme vedeckej obci fakulty a azda aj širšie 3. zväzok, v ktorom sa rozširuje „repertoár“ študijných odborov na šesť (Psychológia, Filozofia, Sociálna práca, Politológia, Britské a americké štúdiá, Literárna veda/Slovakistika – pripomínam, že názvy študijných odborov a študijných programov uvádzam v „zjednodušenej“ podobe; porov. zb. Doktorandské miscelaneá, 1, 2012 a Doktorandské miscelaneá, 2, 2013) a zároveň, čo je sympatické poznanie, stúpa aj počet príspevkov (21 od 23 autorov; jeden príspevok so spoluautorstvom školiteľky). Ich tematický „rozptyl“ je daný aktuálnymi výskumnými úlohami v študijných odboroch humanitných a spoločenskovedných disciplín, ale ich prepája úsilie o tvorivé hľadanie najvhodnejších a pre konkrétnu tému najinšpiratívnejších tematicko-metodologických východísk, osobitne v úvodnej kapitole dizertačných prác.

The presented monographic processing of the issues of groups, as a basic phenomenon of our social life, draws a lot of current knowledge from realized researches, their empirical results and practical work with the group, which offers a comprehensive view of the social group. Social group looks both as a natural part of human life and it is analyzed and studied, so that knowledge of the social group can be rewarded.

This has been transferred to artificially created groups to help individuals through group work. At the same time, the monograph also considers the method of social work with a group as one of the methods used in various helping professions.

The history of the Balkans (not just in the 20th century) and its nations have had an irreplaceable place at the Department of History, Faculty of Arts, UPJŠ in Košice for several years. Therefore, this textbook is a logical culmination of this established trend. It represents the third publication focused on Southeastern Europe, as in 2015 a monograph titled International Relations in the 19th and 20th Centuries I (Nations of Southeastern Europe in International Politics, 1804 – 1856) was published, and in 2020 Nations of Southeastern Europe under International Politics from 1856 to 1913.

Logically then, this publication complements the literature portfolio (both thematically and chronologically) for students interested in this still turbulent region. Previous works are scientific monographs that can also be used during pedagogical processes; however, this work is directly aimed at students and their needs.

The development of this bilingual coursebook evolved as part of project KEGA Nr. 020UPJŠ-4/2013 headed by prof. PhDr. Ján Gbúr, CSc., and emerged from earlier research which had successfully analysed realist and modernist Slovak literature from a gender perspective. Based on initial interpretations which drew from philosophical, sociological and historiographical approaches, we were able to anticipate the issues which could be raised in other texts and thus establish a hypothesis for the subsequent literaryscientific research. Our research has also been influenced by the continually evolving nature of gender studies, and we have therefore decided to adopt a somewhat unusual approach in this coursebook and briefly examine some contemporary texts thereby creating an intentional shift in our timeline. The modern works of Z.Kepplová and U. Kovalyk have raised a number of interesting issues, and a study of the interwar work of M. Urban reveals further interpretations on the basis of gender. After this brief overview, we return to the main focus of the study: gender approaches to Slovak literature of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The study focuses on the complexity of male-female relationships in the work of both male and female authors of realist and modernist literature at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Works by the founding generation of realism and late realism were analysed, with particular attention being paid to the fiction of M. Kukučín, J. Čajak, J. G. Tajovský, J. Jesenský, E. M. Šoltésová, T. Vansová, Ľ. Podjavorinská and B. S. Timrava. The works of H. Gregorová and Ľ. Groeblová were also studied as prime examples of Slovak literary modernism. 

We hope that this bilingual coursebook will allow realist and modernist Slovak fiction, and the Slovak national literary tradition in general, to receive wider critical renown beyond the borders of Slovakia and also to demonstrate its place in contemporary literary theory.
