Under and Tuglas Literature Centre
| 
Under and Tuglas Literature Centre of the Estonian Academy of Sciences is an institution of research and development of the Estonian Academy of Sciences. Its mission is to study Estonian literature and the local written culture in general, both in historical and theoretical perspectives, within the context of historically multilingual Baltic space as well as world literature. It promotes literary and cultural thought in line with contemporary trends in textual research (discourse analysis, rhetorico-narratological models of culture, postcolonial theory and the theory of cultural transfer, memory and gender studies).
In the process of its developmental activities, Literature Centre publishes original researches and source materials of Estonian written culture, maintains the book and art collection of historical value, organises conferences, exhibitions and cultural events of general importance. The Museum Department of the Literature Centre in Nõmme administrates the legacy of the writer Friedebert Tuglas, Member of Academy, and other collections.
Since 2008 the Literature Centre has fulfilled the governmental research project Autogenesis and transfer: Formation of modern culture in Estonia (2008–2013, head of the project Jaan Undusk). The goal of the project is to research the mechanisms of creation of identity of the Estonian written culture in the field of autogenesis (spontaneous creation) and cultural transfers.
