Arranged every 5 years at the initiative of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic Institute of Czech Literature, the congress brought together some 150 researchers this year. The presented set of studies primarily attempts not merely to repeat other discussions on the subject of women (or men) in literature, but with the aid of gender analysis and critical interpretation to more systematically consider the literary text as a space for subject self‑comprehension and the formation of gender(ed) identities, as well as to comment on the opportunities, dilemmas and debts of Czech literary research in the context of gender thought. This collection thus offers a broad range of theoretical and thematic approaches, from a critical reading of the canon, gynocriticism and the archeology of women’s literary tradition through cross‑dressing in National Revival drama, queer reading of the socialist realist novel, the gender evaluation of contemporary Czech literature and many other topics.
