Summary/Abstract: This study examines Stanislav Rakús’s dualism in his scholarly and fictional work. In particular, it deals with the different captures/representations of the same theme in fictional and scholarly discourse, the blending of different stylistic practices in the text and their functions. The paper singles out indicators of literary-theoretical knowledge in Rakús’s prose texts and of the “experience” of his scholarly works. It also traces the literarization of such (intra-textual) phenomena as substitution, silence, production and textual diagnosis. The study highlights the specificity of non-referential narrative (Dorrit Cohn), but also captures the movement from literature to scholarship and vice versa.
