Summary/Abstract: The text examines the concept of the “communicative horizon” as a development of Wolfgang Iser’s notion of the implicit reader and extends it to encompass multiple audiences, both real and imagined. Literary communication is conceived as a dynamic relationship between a personification of the explicit addressee, an implicit reading community, and real audiences, whose boundaries may coincide or diverge. The analysis of Botev’s poem “Haiduti” presents the work as a classical national model in which communication, identification, and territory converge within a “limited-limitless” logotope of the Homeland. Under the conditions of globalization, digital technologies, and translation, this model begins to disintegrate, calling for a new analysis of the relations between text, audience, and cultural codes.
