Abstract
The
author questions the possibility of writing the history of national literature by means of post-modern research
methodologies. The post-modern humanistics disregards previous assumptions of continuity, essentialism,
cohesion and the assumption of the existence of historical truth which basically precludes writing the history of
literature and the history as, e.g. a national whole, in the methodological sense. The author considers this issue in
relation with the Czech discussion about the scientific paradigms on the canon of Czech literature that operate in
humanistics. He rejects the antiessentialists’ radicalism, undermines the focus of the researchers exclusively on
intellectual constructs and is sceptical about the present domination of historic-literary theory over practice. The
author claims that, despite the pressure from antiessentialists, the kernel of the Czech literature and historical
studies should still be the search for the identity of national literature, defining its relations with other cultures
and processes, and an attempt to discover national and supranational values in Czech literature that could be at
present showed as canonical.
