Crisis of Representation
The papers collected in this volume explore the concept of crisis of representation in the area of literature and arts that are seemingly losing their potential to shape the picture of political, philosophical religious, and cultural developments. Some of diagnosed reasons for the crisis may include the loss of the referent, ever-increasing distance from the reality of the referential world, the crisis of truth in political discourse, crisis of the idea of re-presentation in philosophy, or the paradox of self-reference in semiotics. The contributors approach this intriguing phenomenon through a detailed analysis, offering novel insights into the realm of literature and the arts.

What led up to the crowds bringing down the Berlin Wall, and what was this momentous event’s enduring legacy?
