Straipsnyje svarstoma lietuvių literatūros ir literatūros apskritai erdvinio lokalizavimo problema centro ir periferijos sąveikos lauke. Iškeliamas centro ir periferijos sąvokų santykinumas, neleidžiantis literatūros erdvinės egzistencijos formalizuoti ar absoliutinti, atskiriant ją nuo istorinio, socialinio bei metafizinio laiko sampratos. Polemizuojama su postmodernistine nuostata, atmetančia kultūros ir literatūros, kaip hierarchinės vertybių sistemos, principą. Konstatuojama, kad šiuolaikinė kultūra nebėra literatūrocentriška ir atkreipiamas dėmesys į vertybinio mąstymo lūžius bei jų pasekmes. The article discusses the problem of spatial localization of Lithuanian literature and literature in general in the context of centre / periphery relations. The emphasis is laid upon the relative character of the concepts of centre and periphery, the fact which forestalls the formalistic or unconditional approach to the spatial existence of literature, when it is seen as isolated from historical, social and metaphysical implications of time. The author enters into polemics with postmodernistic treatment of culture and literature where hierarchic value system is no longer valid. He also proposes that modern culture is no longer literary-central and directs attention to the dramatic shifts in value-judgements and the consequences of the process.

Straipsnyje analizuojamos vaikaičių vertybės, susiformavusios iš bendravimo su seneliais patirties, atkreipiant dėmesį į bendravimą tarp kartų lemiančius ypatumus. Kokybiniame tyrime dalyvavo dvylika vyresnio amžiaus paauglių, kurie buvo apklausti naudojant pusiau struktūruotą interviu. Vertybės buvo analizuojamos remiantis kartų solidarumo modeliu ir M. Rokeacho (1973) universalių vertybių sąrašu. Rezultatai atskleidė, jog vaikaičiai, atsižvelgdami į bendravimo su seneliais patirtį, yra suformavę vertybių sistemą, atskleidžiančią kartų solidarumo koncepciją. The article analyzes the grandchildren’s values through interaction with their grandparent’s experience, focusing on communication between generations. Developmental psychologists argue that socially and psychologically safe family environment is the basis for personal development (South, Krueger, Johnson, Iacono, 2008). In Lithuania, studies on peculiarities of grandparents’ and grandchildren’ relationship are very rare, therefore, we focused on grandchildren, who are approaching adulthood and communication experience with their grandparents might affect the value system of grandchildren. The aim of the study was to highlight grandchildren’s values, which are revealed through communicating with grandparents. The qualitative study involved twelve 11–12 form students who were interviewed by the authors using a semi-structured interview. Grandchildren’s values were analyzed according to M. Rokeach (1973) values system and within generation solidarity model. Content analysis demonstrated that grandchildren, through communication with their grandparents, had gained broad experience and rich system of values. These values include associational solidarity (telling the truth, honesty, openness, honesty, trust, sociability, gaiety), consensual solidarity (wisdom, freedom of compliance), normative solidarity (psychological and physical well-being, spiritual peace, work, education, life goals, diligence, responsibility), functional solidarity (help, advice, care, kindness, caring for other people’s well-being) ir affectual solidarity (family, love, respect, understanding, support, persistence). In the future research it is advisable to study representatives of other generations (parents, grandparents) in order to expand the knowledge of value transition between them.
