   I. The languages of contemporary description/interpretation/transcription of literary classics; “new readings of literary classics” and their “re-interpretations”; “shifts” in the framework of the literary canon under the influence of modernity;   II. Metaphorology/rhetoric/propaganda of contemporary literary studies; the concepts of “Dostoevsky’s guilt” and “the case of Nietzsche” in the paradigms of literary studies after February of 2022;   III. The ontology of a literary work towards the contemporary epistemology of its interpretation;   IV. Contemporary historical discourses towards the modern concepts in literary studies;   V. Contemporary literature and contemporary literary studies in the face of artificial intelligence; “non-anthropological” and “artificial” intelligence in the history of European culture: mythology, fantasy, utopia/dystopia (English-language section).
