система

The literature of any people, studied in any period, represents a complete dynamic system. 2 By the system of literature I understand a certain relationship of its parts to each other: of the types of literature (translated and original, church, historical, natural science, journalistic, etc.), of its genres, of its individual works. The concept of a system of literature also includes the relationship of literature to other areas of culture: to science, religion, public thought, to various arts, folklore, etc. Finally, the system of literature also includes its relationship to the cultures and literatures of other countries and peoples. Ultimately, the system of literature is determined by its relationship to historical reality - the relationship with it constitutes the most essential part of the system. This internal structure and the relationship with the external environment surrounding literature constitute an organic whole. The system of literature, despite the fact that its individual parts are in constant equilibrium with each other, is not static. It is constantly changing. However, the permanently disturbed balance is restored again and a dynamic equilibrium exists.
