Since 2016, the journal Svět literatury has regularly published international special issues with articles in foreign languages, with contributions by many renowned international scholars.
Svět literatury focuses on modern European and American literatures, overreaching into other cultural areas. It is based on interdisciplinary comparative approach, which overcomes the limitations of exclusively national approach to literatures. Its main aim is to foster the integration of the study of foreign literatures in the light of modern thought on literature and of the problems of contemporary world: to assimilate foreign literatures through original reflection, and to open the Czech cultural scene to European and international dimension.
