Intercultural literary studies in the field of literary scholarship represent a research perspective with
a specific theoretical and methodological profile, which is based on two prerequisites: 1) cultural
differences can be important in the study and perception of literature, and 2) literature and its reception
can reveal these relative differences. In this way culture is interpreted as a category of differentiation,
but also as a productive source of exchange, contact, dissemination and integration. Intercultural literary
research focuses on specific issues concerning the creation and perception of the literary text, as well
as the didactic and methodological aspects of acquiring intercultural competence through it. Literary
texts lead, on one hand, to enrichment, curiosity and excitement in students, and, on the other, to the
diversification of methodological techniques in foreign language teaching. Literary texts can motivate
students and foster their personal development through new methods that not only encourage them to
speak, but also inform them about the culturally specific point of view, through the content of the text.
