| Research Abstract |
The aim of the project was to investigate the transformation of social meanings of literary works and arts in the era of digital media from the end of the 20th to the beginning of the 21st century. Firstly the achievements were done in our monographical studies about literary or artistic phenomena that describe the historical process of such transformation which involves the deliberation form the traditional form of production and reception of arts. Secondly some of our studies could give an outline of ethical tasks literary works and arts are to take in their technical and social contradiction today, i.e. that the digitally operated media community extends principally globally across the board, while its particular emergences and forms seem to be nevertheless contingent on very diverse conventionally determined culture. However, this polarity itself is of a media-mediated nature and not the same antagonism any more as such of 'innovation and tradition'. Literary works and arts today can be interpreted as an expression of the polarizing effect of digital media. Thirdly, as the practice of intercultural communication we have had six opportunities of international symposia, where we exchanged opinions with the German scholars.
