Patriarchal gender imagination in the time of modernity

The process of modernity is a complex system in which social modernisation and cultural modernity are combined. This is related to the wide terminological use of the terms modernity, modernity and modernism and their multiplicative form. Since the 1980s, but more prominently after 2000, revisions of modernism have taken place in international academic discourse, in a number of different conceptions and theoretical approaches subsumed under the common label of new modernism. These concepts are oriented towards a critique of the previously accepted canon, redefining modernism and expanding it temporally and spatially (geographically). Current research on modernism in Slovak literature also shows that the new, analytical-revising approaches expand and complement the hitherto traditional image of this movement in Slovak literature. As part of the change in discourse, authors who were previously overlooked are being included in the source base and attention is being paid to works that have been bypassed. In addition, it is concerned with capturing patterns of how changed interpretive constellations alter the view of the relationship and interrelationships of such categories as traditional and modern, conservative and progressive, social and cultural, or urban and rural/natural.
