Abstract
Henry Remak’s proposal, that
reach beyond literary comparisons only, and reference to the notion of cultural texts allows for a broader understanding
of comparative studies. In this spirit I present the comparative method which refers to two types of myths
and the corresponding desacralised indicators of time and space in the form of paradigms put forward by
Eliade. The origin myth and the modern myth, at this point signed with the figures of Nature and God, allow to
perceive the world from the inside as dynamic (metamorphosis) or from the outside as static (governed by law).
The corresponding desacralised paradigms permit to retrieve the basic indicators of time and space. The circular
paradigm expresses time in form of units of circular recurrences and shows space as a whole based on the coincidentia
oppositorum principle. On the other hand, the linear paradigm presents the holistic rectilinear time and
the hierarchical space which separates units. In cultural works, to start with science and end with literature studies,
echoes of particular myths and methods of organisation through the above mentioned paradigms of time
and space are retrieved in a way that complies with the specificity of fields of interest (the physical, biological,
psychological world, the consciousness, the unconsciousness, the featured world, the organisation of the work
and historical changes), which allows to perceive the distinctness of their concrete realisations and treat them as
tertium comparations. The possibility of applying this method in art, including literature, is signalised here as
well
