Abstract
THE LOCATION OF LITERARY THEORY AND SOME OTHER ARRANGEMENTS The purpose of this paper is to examine the place of literary theory in Croatian Literaturwissenschaft, its role in literary studies (especially the study of Croatian literature), its contribution to the introduction of new research topics, as well as its encouragement of methodological innovations and critical self-reflection. Focusing on the discussion of Škreb, Stamać, and Biti, the discussion demonstrates that there is no “age of innocence” of literary theory and no harmonious complementarity with literary criticism and literary history. With this in mind and considering the international context, the well-known story of disciplinary crisis is unmasked as just another interpretation that can be questioned, and, in the domestic context, as a form of self-imposed oblivion and nostalgia without any real foundation. Keywords: literary theory, cultural theory, literary studies, Croatian language and literature, crisis
