The author of the article describes the ways the Arcadicvision of the world as well as its contradiction i.e. the dystopia were constructed in J.B. Zimorowic’s New Rutheniam bucolics. Both of these are described within literature tradition and in their historical context as well. It is shown how Zimorowic, in his dialogue with Vergil, Ovid and Polish writers, creates the vision of Ruthenia as an Arcadic and also pleasant place (locus amoenus).He further creates a vision of locus horridus – the burnt Arcady. The Ruthenian Arcady contains the vision of happiness sand the golden age in Ruthenia, the Arcadic landscape and the interfusion of the realistic world with the world of myths. Ruthenian Arcady of Zimorowic is destroyed by the war (1648), epidemic and the loss of the loved ones (his wife and brother) − the themes of war, death and vanishing. New Ruthenian Bucolics contain contradictory visions, namely, the poetic Arcady of family and Lviv and the Arcady of loss. This dystopia becomes a poetic comment to bloody events of the century and the personal grief of the author. The text shows how the author exploits the locus amoenus theme and how he changes it into the theme of locus horridus.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula is the most famous example of a successful symbiosis between Gothicism and balkanism. With this symbiosis, Irish author refreshes and popularizes the vampire myth and enriches it with the myth of  Transylvania as a homeland of vampirism. Stoker tries to make the image of Transylvania as authentic as possible, but at the same time, he mystifies some facts. He creates Transylvania in accordance with balkanistic stereotype as a beautiful, but backward land. European culture is mingled there with the oriental culture. Count Dracula’s vampirism is a horrible effect of this cultural hybridization. According to psychoanalytic interpretation, the castle o fa vampire symbolizes the unconsciousness of Westerners, and the vampire is their double. Dracula embodies their repressed ideas related to the desire of absolute power which enables to satisfy the instincts freely. The balkanistic context of psychoanalytic interpretation of Dracula’s castle allows the extension of this interpretation to the entire Transylvania, which in Stoker’s novel is a metonymy of the Balkans and Eastern Europe. This region of Europe was in the 19th century regarded in the West as the boundary between Europe and Asia, and it serves as a locus horridus, that is to say, a bad place which is a reservoir of culturally forbidden desires that Westerners repress by attributing them to the Eastern European culture.

The present article discusses Piranesi’s use of the ancient topos of locus horridus on the example of his four Grotteschi. The analysis of particular ingredients of Piranesi’s loci horridi has shown that, in order to understand them, the onlooker must be not only familiar with the Greek and Roman mythology and literature, but also, must have the patience to detect even those details which, despite being too tiny or obscure to be noticed at the first glance, are crucial to the meaning of the whole picture. In his sophisticated game with the onlooker, Piranesi employs optical illusion and pareidolia. The article also reveals that the aesthetics of the Grotteschi consists, to a large extent, in bringing together motifs that originally belong to the opposite realms: that of a locus horridus and that of a locus amoenus. As a result of such a fusion, the locus horridus becomes even more frightening and hostile, whereas the traditionally ‘idyllic’ elements acquire a sinister hue.

In her novel Kříž u potoka (1868) Karolína Světlá applied a contrastive principle, which is seen mostly in the relationships between her characters. A part of this principle is represented by vertical space completed by a place of horror (locus horridus). The place of horror is twofold in this novel, the latter is related to the anticipant character (a holy old women). The novel is framed in two ways – in a mortal and a local way. The opening of the novel is represented by Vorgeschichte, while the rest of the story is covered in the superstitious time.
