Univerzálne tematické algoritmy a ich aktualizujúce inovácie
Universal thematic algorithms and their updating innovations

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the conceptual expression of universal thematic algorithms (of archetypal plotlines, primordial motivic complexes), which are present in arch-narratives (culture-forming stories) of all civilizational-cultural areas known to us. It also centers on the hypothesis that many innovations in recent children’s and young adult literature is based on external, (in terms of meaning) peripheral updates, which do not change the essence of the arch-semantics mentioned. The stated assumption is metonymically applied to the fairy-tale type ATU 325 The Magician and his Pupil and a variety of its contemporary updates (Harry Potter novel series).
