The editors of the journal issue a thematic call for a monothematic issue of Stredoeurópske pohľady (Central European Views) entitled Historical Milestones and Personalities of Central Europe with a focus on linguistic research, literary works and film adaptations of selected Central European works, which thematize important historical landmarks and personalities of Central Europe. In its final form, it can also serve as a theoretical and methodological inspiration for teachers in literary education, or and other subjects. Authors of scientific studies or research articles can also focus on developing issues related to film (or television) works that were created by adapting Central European literary works. Filmmakers in the Central European region frequently drew on national literature, the choice of processed material and the form of realization was often influenced by the political and social climate, e.g. analyze film and television adaptations of literary works with spiritual and religious themes. The relationship between literary and film arts should be investigated and at the same time the relationship of these arts to the processing of religious and spiritual themes should be more deeply illuminated. Adaptation is the creation of a new artifact and at the same time a reinterpretation of the original. If spiritual themes or Christian-Jewish symbolism appear in the text of the template, these can also be updated in different ways. It is possible to focus on works that had an affirmative relationship to religiosity, but also on works with a critical, ambivalent, or parodic approach to this issue.
