The paper is based on the current conception of reception of the debut novel written by Dušan Kraus (1937 - 2001) Životy unikajúce/Lives Fleeing (1979). There are a genological and typological perspective and a literary historical perspective adopted in it, the paper offers an outline reconstruction of the literary career of a lesser-known writer. The subject of the analysis is the basic semantic layers of the work (language, narration, composition) and its genological and typological foundations. Within the context of prose written at that time, the novel is a specific piece of writing placed outside the established development lines. It is incompatible with what was introduced by the „novel situation" at the turn of the 1980s, it is a work of production prose, while it is not influenced by ideological requirements, it is a contemporary piece of prose which was published at the time when Slovak literature was being dominated by past-bound works. Životy unikajúce/Lives Fleeing as a production or, alternatively, „work" novel is an unusual variant of the subgenre in Slovak literature. In terms of evolution, it is situated somewhere halfway from the ideologically biased depiction of the work environment in the 1950s towards subversive recoding of the subject matter in the second half of the 1980s (in the works of the writers such as Peter Pišťanek and Dušan Taragel).

The paper is concerned with the editions of fiction works associated with the name of the evangelical preacher and teacher Ladislav Bartolomeides. In the first part the subject of the analysis is Bartolomeides's reeditions of two Czech translations: a popular didactic satire Spis užitečný a velmi potřebný od Doktora Grobiana z upřímnosti učinený (A Useful and Really Necessary Treatise by Doctor Grobian Written in a Honest Manner, 1784) translated from German into Czech around the end of the 16th century and a work written by the ancient historian Josephus Flavius O válce židovské knihy sedmery (Seven Books on the Jewish War, 1805), which was translated from Latin by Pavel Aquilinus Hradecký (1533). The analysis shows the goal and the motives of Bartolomeides's editorial activities and analyses the extent of the changes he made to the texts. The second part of the paper deals with editorial possibilities of presenting Bartolomeides's original work Rozmlouvání Jozefa Druhého s Matějem Prvním Korvínus řečeným v království zemřelých (A Dialogue between Joseph II and Matthias I Corvinus in the Kingdom of the Dead, 1790), in which the form of the Lucianesque dialogue is joined with the defence of the monarch Joseph II. In order to assess all the functions of the text objectively there has been an idea to publish all the three versions together - the diplomatic transcription, the transcribed form and the translation into contemporary Slovak.

The subject of the analysis is a lesser-known study by Rudo Brtáň (1907 - 1998) about Slovak classicist Juraj Rohoň (1773 - 1831), originally from the Turiec region, who spent most of his life in Low Land. The study titled Juraj Rohoň was published by R. Brtáň in a literature and culture magazine of Yugoslavian Slovaks called Nový život/New Life in 1965, which is produced in Serbia, this is why it remained less accessible and known to a significant part of Slovak literary science. Brtáň's paper has fundamental importance for understanding of J. Rohoň's life and work, his findings are confronted with several recent investigations (S. Čelovský, E. Brtáňová, M. Babiak) in the study. A significant part of Brtáň's research is focused on genealogy, where besides Rohoň's immediate relatives he tracked other notable figures of this national revivalist, intelectual and artistic family. He also describes in more detail Rohoň's main literary works: so-called apologias Chvála Slováků/Apotheosis of Slovaks and Palma/A Palm Tree, a collection of neoclassical poems Kratochvílne zpěvy pro mládež rolníckou/Leisure Time Songs for the Farming Youth, and also a collection of Slovak folk songs Starodávne zpěvy lidu slovenského v Uhrách/Ancient Songs of Slovak Folk in Hungary, which became a part of Kollár's Národnie spievanky/National Songs. The works which defended Slovaks and Slavs earned Rohoň a place in Ján Kollár's poem Slávy dcera/The Daughter of Sláva - Kollár placed him alongside other authors who had published apologias in the Slavic heaven.

Literature which engages in the transformation of relationship between politicians, media and the public often describes new trends in media coverage of the world of politics through theoretical concepts like personalization, aestheticization or depoliticization. Since the Velvet Revolution in 1989 Czech political communication has gone through substantial changes - similar to the development in postwar Western democracies. Therefore it is supposed that the new trends would prove in Czech conditions as well. This paper monitors how two Czech press titles Mladá fronta Dnes and Právo covered congresses of the two main political parties (ČSSD, ODS) between 1994 and 2011. It tries to describe if there are any tendencies towards new trends of political communication, especially these mentioned above. Surprisingly, it finds out that Czech press paid most attention to political issues connected with the congresses and voting tactics of their participants. There is no evidence for aestheticization and only weak tendency towards personalization of political communication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Learner self-assessment is a significant predictor of learning outcomes (Hattie, 2018). However, it is insufficiently implemented in Czech secondary schools (Czech School Inspectorate, 2021). One of the reasons for this may be the lack of teachers’ experience in developing their own self-assessment skills. This paper presents a study framed by a 12-week intervention programme to develop self-assessment skills focused on presenting in German among prospective teachers of German as a foreign language (n=15). The study examined the content (characteristics) of the participants’ self-assessment comments collected before and after the intervention program. A total of 25 self-assessment comments were collected using the “Lautes Erinnern” method (13 before the intervention, 12 after the intervention) and analysed using the inductive category formation of the qualitative content analysis (Mayring, 2014). The analysis revealed three main characteristics of the development of self-assessment: increasing evidence in the self-assessment comments, a shift in focus from the predominance of non-languagespecific to language-specific assessment, and a shift in focus from mostly negative to also positive aspects of performance. The study concludes with a discussion of the implications for better teacher education that develops their self-assessment skills appropriately.

The paper deals with consumption patterns of infringing content, using the framework of media ethnography. This kind of ethnography is focused on media use in households, emphasising actual context of consumption. Using conceptual notions of the everyday and domestication, the research seeks to find out how participants incorporate infringing content into the structure of their everyday life, whether this means forming new watching patters, and how is this content consumed in general. It also investigates social curation as means of discovering new content. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses possible data gathering techniques in the research of the far right. Far right is very specific area for research and very hard to explore. Many research papers and analysis are based more on description and normative judgements, or case studies. Relevant and objective data sets are missing. This article introduces data gathering techniques that can be used in this area and that are able to bring valid data. Their strengths and weaknesses are discussed as well. Two levels of data gathering techniques are followed: qualitative and quantitative research, and primary and secondary sources of data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Without a doubt, MAXQDA, the leading CAQDAS (software), is one of the most useful and commonly used tools for qualitative data analysis. Despite this and, in a sense, outside the common praise “the King of the CAQDAS”, the aim of this methodological paper is to present a variety of troubles (and their solutions) associated with the processing of a dataset with more than 90,000 media messages in MAXDictio (MAXQDA addon). Going in steps, I will demonstrate the phases of data import, categorization of data, autocoding of sentences, word frequencies, selectionofkeywords,dictionary-makingandananalysis of co-occurrences. In addition to MAXQDA, the article will mention some minor applications/software, potentially very handy for the diverse forms of computerassisted text analysis (CATA). Accordingly, what are the limits of MAXQDA? And if exceeded, what are the solutions? And what other software can be (or have to be) used with MAXQDA.
