Abstract:

The study focuses on the manifestation of the main literary trends – postmodernism and post-postmodernism – in the novels of the contemporary American writer J. Franzen, which has determined the purpose of the paper – to identify, characterize and analyze the leading features of the new literary tendencies that have obtained original interpretation in the writer’s literary creative activity. The article gives a brief overview of philosophical, cultural and literary criticism studies of both home and foreign scholars, which describe the vectors of development of the literary process at the present stage, pose various hypotheses with reference to the definition of these vectors, characterize them and suggest new terms for their nomination. The postmodernist and post-postmodernist tendencies are explored on the concrete material of the novels The Corrections and Purity by J. Franzen, in which they receive original interpretation and serve the purpose of impersonating the author’s ideas, unfolding the main themes, creating the characters and expressing the narration modality. The key method of research used in this paper is the method of interpretive analysis, which involves identifying content and semantic dominants and interpreting a work of fiction within a certain literary context, determining the inclusion of this work in the system of current literary movements and trends. The interpretive analysis of the works under investigation revealed various tendencies typical for the literary process of the post-postmodern era on the whole, the most important of which are the following: no clear distinction between postmodernism and post-postmodernism; realization and sophisticated interaction of elements of such new trends as metamodernism, cosmodernism, digimodernism, and automodernism. The results of the study can be used in literary analysis of modern fiction, and specifically in research works of different levels and in teaching at philological faculties of universities. The study argues that the novels by J. Franzen demonstrate the specific features of postmodernism and post-postmodernism, which reject the postmodernist principles and at the same time follow them, return to the realistic traditions and actualize new literary tendencies.

Abstract:

Currently, the literary process is witnessing the emergence of a new trend — post-postmodernism, developing along several lines. The article offers a review of theoretical works of Russian and foreign authors, devoted to the study of post-postmodernism, its main characteristics, and terminology. On the basis of the novel "The Circle" (2013), written by the American writer Dave Eggers, which has not yet become the subject of study in Russian literary criticism,the authors explore the main features of metamodernism as one of the directions of post-postmodernism. The methodology of the study is based on the principles of interpretive analysis and comparative historical observation. The analysis of several contemporary English-language novels suggests that post-postmodernism attempts to reconstruct what has been deconstructed in postmodernism while retaining some of its attitudes. A detailed examination of Eggers' novel shows that it exhibits both postmodernist (a complex combination of genre forms) and metamodernist characteristics. A closer look at Eggers' text shows that it exhibits both postmodernist (a complex combination of genre forms) and metamodernist features (rejection of the postulate of ' the death of the author' and explication of the authorial position, post irony, neorealism, an appeal to ‘new sincerity’). The results of this study may be used in further research in this field, as well as in the development of teaching material for philological disciplines at universities.

Abstract:

The article deals with such a literary trend as postmodernism and its self-expression in modern Azerbaijani literature. The article contains the review of the different scientists’, philosophers’ and writers’ views related to the postmodernism, forms of its manifestation and its impact on Azerbaijani literature. Many Azerbaijani writers created their works under the influence of European literature in the postmodernist style during the period of independence. Their works are analyzed on the basis of the concrete facts. It is noted that while encompassing a wide variety of approaches, postmodernism is generally defined by an attitude of skepticism, irony, or rejection toward the meta-narratives and ideologies of modernism, often calling into question various assumptions of Enlightenment rationality. Consequently, common targets of postmodern critique include universalist notions of objective reality, morality, truth, human nature, reason, language, and social progress. Keywords:postmodernism, globalization, fiction, literary trend, symbols

Abstract:

This paper addresses language use in Alobwed’epie’s the Death Certificate from a postmodernist perspective. It seeks to show that the author of the selected novel, like many postcolonial African writers, attempts to assert his culture through some sort of indigenisation and intentional flouting of old canons of literature. Given that the present paper is anchored on postmodernism, the postmodernist theory the author’s is used to explain Alobwed’Epie’s perception of life and literature to assert his cultural identity through some sort of linguistic revolution. As a matter of fact, language is used in a very carefree and innovative way in order to escape the idealistic dictum of literary norms. Indigenisation is then regarded as a postmodernist technique, which aims at valorising the African identity and rejecting all the metanarratives of how a work of art should be produced. Obviously, in the present article postmodernism are both a theoretical framework and an object of study. The use of local languages and other languages like Pidgin in the novel under study has demonstrated that the then marginalised languages have moved from the margin towards the Centre and become established languages of African literature. The paper briefly discusses the emergence of postmodernism and shows how the traditional conventions have been deconstructed and substituted for new ideologies that have revolutionised the African literary landscape. It equally reviews selected previous works on language in African novels as well as on postmodernism that came up in the late 1950s as revolutionary responses to preceding movements. The paper ends with an account of the linguistic features of postmodernism used in the novel.

Abstract:

The article polemicizes about the state of Russian Postmodernist culture in general and the country’s Postmodernist literature, in particular. The author finds that contemporary culture exists at the intersection of two paradigms: a dwindling Postmodernism and a nascent Metamodernism, giving rise to new literary vectors and phenomena. Mass culture appropriates Postmodernist methods and techniques: irony, intertextuality, and play-mode rethinking of classical subjects and ideas. The author observes a transformation of Postmodernism into an assembly line for mass production and consumption. At the same time, Metamodernism inevitably becomes an alternative cultural paradigm. Analyzing the cultural situation, the author references works by the writer V. Pelevin (his novels Generation P, iPhuck 10), rapper poet Oxxxymiron (M. Fyodorov), and other prominent figures of modern Russian culture. The article’s major focus is on Postmodernist irony.

Abstract:

The article describes the poetic features of one of the basic terms of postmodern literature - simulacrum. The global trend of postmodernism has brought many new changes to society. Naturally, when changing society, consciousness and literature, and requirements to them, and measures to present it, are updated. Modern scholars identify three dominant properties of postmodernism. These include dialogue, play, and intertextuality. However, among the characteristics listed, there is no core of governance to organize the unity of application. Thus, simulacrum is analyzed as a universal category of post-modernist aesthetics and as a key element of the poetry of the postmodernist text. That is, it will be one of the tools to study postmodernist works. Along with the history of the origin and establishment of the simulacrum category, the historical basis in the writings of Plato in the early centuries is differentiated, the interpretation as the main term of postmodern philosophy in the research of the French poststructuralists G. Bataille, P. Klassovski, J. Derrida in the following centuries. The concepts of J. Baudrillard «Simulacrum and simulation», representations of G. Deleuze about the connections between religion and simulacrum have been comprehensively analyzed. The works of the Russian literary scholar M. Bakhtin cover theories concerning the problems of the artistic text, the author and the hero. On the basis of the theory of «Author-hero» of the scientist, the interrelation of the problem of integrity of the author and the hero with the concept of simulacrum is examined.

Abstract:

This article examines the modern Indonesian women’s prose and its interaction with the elements of postmodernist paradigm. The object of this research is the novelistic writing of the prominent Indonesian author Dewi Lestari on the example of the novel "“Supernova: The Knight, The Princess, and The Falling Star” (Supernova: Ksatria, Puteri, dan Bintang Jatuh, 2001), which is part of the series “Supernova” (2001-2016). Fiction, as the “median” field in literature, embraces various codes of language art. Relying on the tested patterns of popular literature, it can also appeal to postmodernism. In the latter case, the works are characterized by the presence of deconstructive and game (including simulation) principles. The example of application of the codes of fiction and postmodernism is the novel of under review. An important role in the research is played by the literary-theoretical, typological, and descriptive methods. The work of Dewi Lestari has not yet been considered from the perspective of postmodernist game technique and involvement of the concept of simulacrum. An attempt to do this on the example of her most famous works defines the novelty of this research, as well as the noticeable place of postmodernism in Eastern literatures makes relevant it analysis based on the original Indonesian literature. Reference to the poetics of postmodernism through borrowing the simulation game technique allowed Lestari to create a commercially successful product. The perception of the text by each reader in accordance with their worldview, and engagement in the game proposed by Lestari, correspond to the ideas of the postmodernist interpretation of the literary text, as well as to the laws of the market. This is why modern Indonesian writers refer to the postmodernist paradigm.

Abstract:

The Yoruba pristine orality in its entirety has been given new directions with the popularity of the postmodernist tenets as shown in the utilitarian use of the new media in literary production, dissemination and consumption. This paper seeks to examine how the postmodernist material and immaterial culture have influenced the literary and cultural values of Yoruba folktales. Data for this study are gathered through field investigations at Omi Adio, Aba Ebu ( Moniya) and Badeku, all in Oyo State, Nigeria. Archival documents on the subject matter are also consulted. It is observed that apart from affecting the physical and cultural landscapes of Africa, postmodernism/new media has also affected the literary landscape of the continent. It is concluded that Africa has not effectively utilized the resources of new media to promote the vitality of folktales. It is recommended that the teaching of Oral Literature should be made compulsory in the curricula of primary and secondary schools in Nigeria.

The significance of Reggie Wilson’s research-to-performance method within the canons of American dance arises from the way his distinctive approach confounds critical categories, blurring the divide between Black Dance and black postmodernism. Is his work too postmodernist for advocates of Black Dance and too Black for advocates of postmodernism?

Abstract:

Abstract Contemporary developments in fiction have so far primarily been interpreted as an attempt to move beyond postmodernism toward a renewed sense of realism and communication. This article suggests an alternative conceptualization and puts forward the hypothesis that contemporary fiction marks a shift toward an affective dominant. In Postmodernist Fiction (1987) Brian McHale defines the dominant as a structure that brings order and hierarchy in a diversity of techniques and motifs in a literary text. Whereas in modernism the dominant is epistemological and in postmodernism it is ontological, in contemporary literature we contend this dominant is affective. The prevailing questions are “How can I feel reality (myself, the other, the past, the present, etc.)?”; “How can I feel to belong to reality?”; and “How can I feel reality to be real?” This affective dominant manifests itself in motifs such as desire, attachment, fantasy, and identification. Formal and narrative devices that in modernist or postmodernist fiction contributed to an epistemological or ontological dominant tend to foreground questions of affectivity in contemporary fiction. Through the analysis of novels by Ben Lerner, Alejandro Zambra, and Zadie Smith this article substantiates this hypothesis. This approach allows us to study contemporary fiction both diachronically, in relation to postmodernism, and synchronically, in relation to its social and ideological context.

Abstract:

"World History, Literary History: Postmodernism and After. The basic question Christian Moraru raises in his contribution is about the direction in which literary history and criticism overall may be going after postmodernism. Moraru’s answer, or guess, is that literary-cultural scholarship, along with the humanities at large, would probably have to adjust to shifts in the world “out there.” As Moraru contends, our profession is already doing its best to catch up epistemologically with an increasingly strong planetary ontology, that is, with how the world most known to us—the finite planet—is and presents itself in the twenty-first century. Key here, he argues, is the lexicon and planetary phenomenology of “presentation” or presencing, rather, of an overwhelming coming into presence of that which is scattered all around us and we have been exploiting, overusing, polluting, discarding, or disregarding during the Anthropocene. In his essay, the critic attends to this resurgent presence and to what it means for literature and its historical cycles now that one of these—postmodernism—is basically complete. He does so obliquely, through a couple of marginalia to David Foster Wallace’s 1996 meganovel Infinite Jest. Keywords: literary-cultural history, criticism, postmodernism, post-postmodernism, presence, epistemology, strong ontology, David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest, Trumpism, geophobia, Anthropocene, après-garde "

Abstract:

The deconstruction of the literary tradition is one of the most frequently used postmodern motifs. It is the main point of many works of Russian postmodernists. Due to the exceptional achievements of Russian writers and the considerable influence on forming social consciousness their activity is subject to critical analysis in many works of all waves of Russian postmodernism. In this context Vladimir Sorokin's texts make their mark – for many of them the deconstruction of literary tradition and hermeneutics is a defining category.

Abstract:

At the beginning of the 20th century, postmodernism has depleted its cultural and aesthetic potential, and as most critics agree, it has become a phenomenon of the past. Among the conceptions aimed at comprehending the impact of the new media and digital technologies, together with the trend towards globalization, digimodernism, automoderrnism, altermodernism, performatism, and metamodernism can be listed as the most conspicuous ones. Proceeding from the fact that metamodernism is a theoretically developed and strongly institutionalized conceptualization of both current cultural change and 21st-century fi ction, this paper focuses on its cultural and literary strategies. Primarily, the study aims to analyze the fundamentals of metamodernism elaborated in the works by Timotheus Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker and in metamodernist web manifestoes. To achieve this goal, such notions as a “structure of feeling” and “new sincerity” that refl ect an emerging cultural sensibility, along with the principle of the metamodernist oscillation between modernist and postmodernist modes, are highlighted. The claim that the Metamodern era replaces Postmodernity is also under investigation. In addition, the paper explores the main features of metamodernism in the works by David Foster Wallace, one of the most famous and infl uential US writers of his generation, a talented novelist and essayist. Application of nonlinear, rhizomatic structures at the narrative level, modeling of the reality according to the principle “what if this is true?”, and a combination of the principles of “new sincerity” and post-irony in Wallace’s novel “Infi nite Jest” are considered. The paper concludes that metamodernism as a literary trend of the recent decades suggests new fi ctional patterns of aesthetic innovations, primarily in returning multiple facets of reality into a literary text. Key words: metamodernism, Metamodern, postmodernism, Postmodern, “new sincerity”, “structure of feeling”, Vermeulen and van den Akker, “Notes on Metamodernism”, David Wallace, “Infi nite Jest”.

Abstract:

This article entitled 'Postmodern and Post Structuralism: A Literary Dichotomy' has fairly attempted to compare and contrast between the most discussed and comprehensive notions of postmodernism and post structuralism in a possible precise form. In addition, the study focuses on dichotomies of these trends against their respective pre-forms, 'modernism' and 'structuralism' as well. Their tendencies in literary creation and theory have been briefly discussed. The study method it has availed is essentially the qualitative research design which is concerned with establishing answers to 'why' and 'how' of the study in question. The writing is based on the views on the foreign writers, scholars and critics in different published materials or the online resources. The views forwarded by the aforementioned personalities have been duly considered and cited in both types of citations-direct as well as paraphrased versions. This study has followed the comparison and contrast as its theory. After the discussion or analysis, the findings have been deducted that these two terms are confusing especially for the beginners because there are certain similarities as well as dissimilarities between them in specific cases. The study is expected to be helpful for both the teacher and students of literature especially in the field pedagogy or the individuals who are not directly related to pedagogical issue.

Abstract:

The recent theory of a return of realism has sparked a lively and somewhat heated debate among contemporary italian thinkers, generating a split between the supporters of the philosophy of weak thought, and those who argue for an overcoming of postmodernism and the development of a new philosophy of realism. This article explores Umberto Eco’s contribution to this debate, focusing both on Eco’s theory of “negative realism” and on his latest historiographic metafiction. I argue that while Eco’s recent theory further distances the author from the philosophy of weak thought, it does not call, as does Maurizio Ferraris’s philosophy of new realism, for an overcoming of postmodernism. Instead, following the outward shift that is typical of late postmodern impegno, Eco’s later work creates a critical idiom that more clearly uses postmodernist self-awareness as a strategy to promote self-empowerment and social emancipation.

Abstract:

The article attempts to characterize the views of Russian theorists on the leading development tendencies in the artistic creation of the 20th and 21st centuries. Particular attention was paid to a kind of crisis, the sources of which lie in the lack of possibility to continue the existing forms of artistic creativity. Therefore, there is a need to develop such forms of this creativity that would correspond to the present day. The superior role of the recipient of the work in relation to its creator was emphasized. In order to name this phenomenon, the author suggests the term ‘ metacreativism’. Other phenomena described in the text include, for example, intertextuality or collage. In Western literary studies such a creative manner is called postmodernism.

Abstract:

Much critical writing about the Beat Movement has focused on the strong interrelationship between the literary and social discourses within and around the movement. However, the study of Beat literature also necessitates an awareness of its position within the literary discourse of the twentieth century. Beat writing may be seen as standing in the unstable, shifting territory between two equally unstable, shifting literary movements: modernism and postmodernism. Beat poetry pits itself against high modernism and the New Critical tradition, draws upon some aspects of early avant-garde modernism, and simultaneously remoulds these aspects into what may be regarded as the beginnings of postmodernism in the USA. This article presents a reading of Allen Ginsberg’s Beat poetry against this literary-historical background. A brief general overview of some of the key characteristics of Beat poetry is given, followed by a discussion of a number of Beat poems, organised around some salient features of Ginsberg’s Beat poetry that may be linked to Beat poetry’s position in the transition from modernism to postmodernism.

Abstract:

Interest in philosophy and the humanities increased after the Second World War, especially in the West, as the critical movement began to reconsider the Western intellectual and philosophical heritage, and emerged approaches known as” postmodernism“, as critical foundations of Western cultural thought, and a product of that cultural and cognitive movement known as” postmodernism"; the concept of postmodernism, which is central This term is associated with a very diverse group that is rarely associated with each other with common things. The idea of postmodernism appears in a critique of the literary and philosophical trends on which modernism was based, and some theorists and philosophers believe that postmodernism is closely related to the social and political transformations that took place in industrial societies such as the postindustrial or knowledge society. Deconstruction is important critical movement as well as controversial, and no theory in literary criticism has provoked waves of admiration and created a state of aversion and resentment as well, as deconstruction has done in contemporary literary thought. Deconstruction emerged in the 1960s as a reaction to structuralism, the dominance of language, the centralization of the mind, and the dominance of linguistics over all fields of knowledge, and from the 1970s deconstruction became a literary critical methodology, and a mechanism for evaluating rhetoric and interpretation. Deconstructionism is mainly a critique of the structural proposition, which has been working to reveal the basic structures responsible for the most noticeable features of social and cultural interaction, since deconstructionism consistently negates the meaning in the text system and analyzes the margins, gaps, expectations, contradictions and conclusions within the texts, as formulations that contribute to the disclosure of the background of language and structure.

Abstract:

Although postmodernism is known for its tendency to deconstruct the basics of existing traditions and conventions pertaining to existing literary forms, among other realms, and though it is commonly associated with self-reflexivity, self-consciousness, self-referentiality and introspective interests, there are numerous examples in the postmodern literary oeuvre of many poets and writers, which prove, whether by fecundity or by frequency, that there is an underlying orientation to establish this self-reflexivity as a new convention, endow it with rules and present it as a post-modernist tradition. In this sense, the apparent postmodernist claim to deconstruct and eradicate the deep-rooted literary conventions implies persisting attempts to develop other conventions based on criticizing, ridiculing and abolishing the former. This paper aims to prove the assumption given above by means of investigating and analyzing some poems of Billy Collins (1941- ) whose main theme and subject matter is self-reflexivity

Abstract:

One of the most original figures in modern Serbian literature is Mileta Prodanovic ‒ an artist, art critic, writer, winner of international awards in the field of literature. The expressive diversity of M. Prodanovich`s works draws special attention to all effective indicative aspects. The context of the activity of creative figures is traditionally considered to be a separate inalienable fruitful plan of their coverage. The contextual cultural process of the last quarter of the twentieth century, in line with which M. Prodanovich`s work developed, has acquired the definition of the postmodern era. Analytical systematization of contextual factors and their artistic reflexes in the artist's prose need additional coverage. Accordingly, it is important to express the context (marked by the manifestations of postmodernism) of the formation of the creative worldview and to determine the priorities of the figurative language of the contemporary Serbian artist. The aim of this article is to focus on the postmodern dimensions of certain types of Serbian national art and in particular literature, contextual for the prose work of M. Prodanovic, with regard to the poetics of the artist. The study is based on the performance of comparative-historical and genetic-typological methods in combination with structural analysis and cultural semiotic approach. M. Prodanovic`s work has not only a chronological connection with the era and the concept of postmodernism in Serbian literature. Already in the early stages of artistic activity, in the early eighties, when postmodernism was a new theme, the conceptual core of his work was centered precisely in connection with its landmarks. Accordingly, a special purposeful concretization of the definitive features of the national-mental adaptation of the ideology of postmodernism in Serbia acquires special significance. These are the fundamental conceptual features of postmodernism, which in the stream of postmodern philosophy demonstrate its meaning of the eclectic movement, focused on an alternative approach to the world, aimed at the concepts of methodology of phenomenology, structuralism and existentialism. A number of developmental conceptual solutions relevant to the contextual interaction of the postmodern worldview with the literary process are contained in the empirical experience of artistic creation in general. In its vein, one of the programme items for the correlation of the art poetics with the concept of postmodernism is the experience of architecture. At the same time, there has been an active figurative expansion of postmodernist solutions in the fine arts since the mid-1960s. And the literary process, particularly in the Serbian national format, was strongly influenced by the ideology of postmodernism. Thus, the defining contextual dimension of M. Prodanovic`s creative credo is formed by (thoroughly revealed in the Serbian national fine arts and in the literary process) classical conceptual principles of postmodernism, the manifestations of which are natural for the poetics of the artist's prose and testify to the writer's creative reactions to the signs of various forms of postmodern poetics. In their perspective in terms of semantics of M. Prodanovich`s novels it becomes more contrasting illustrative for the context disclosure of cognition of the world, the metaphysical basis of civilization through atypical for this context inexhaustible potential for humanistic solution of universal philosophical questions of existence, with recognition of its essential importance in explication of the special author`s experience in the art of word.

Abstract:

Postmodernism is a complex and multifaceted trend in the literature of the second half of the twentieth century. In the process of studying it, students of philology encounter difficulties both in understanding the theoretical base and in applying theoretical knowledge in the analysis of a literary text. The material of the article suggests the stages of work on the study of literary postmodernism, indicates the principles of selection of theoretical concepts, clearly demonstrates information that is significant for understanding the essence of the phenomenon in diagrams. Numerous scientific works present different points of view on the time of the emergence of postmodernism, the nature of its relationship with the previous literary tradition, immerse the consciousness of students in the world of extensive terminology, in which it is difficult for students to see the components necessary for analyzing a postmodern work. By virtue of this, it becomes important to highlight the features characteristic of postmodernism that can represent the uniqueness of the phenomenon under study, establish its place in the system of development of foreign literature, and determine the elements of postmodern aesthetics. The research is associated with the task of deepening students’ skills in analyzing and interpreting a literary text based on a hermeneutic approach. As a result of the work carried out in the course of the practical lesson, the skills of the systemic and holistic perception of the literary process, acquired by the students during the study of the course “History of Foreign Literature”, are consolidated.

Abstract:

The article discusses some of the significant characteristics of postmodern intertextuality in modern Ukrainian and World literature within the context of expert studies of literary works as intellectual property objects. Modern postmodernist writers’ intertextuality in their literary works implies the reproduction of certain specific content elements directly borrowed from other works. In fact, intertextuality at the aesthetic level «makes legitimate» literary plagiarism it renders deliberate borrowing of other people’s creative work results not copyright violations but a popular work of literary modern work of fiction. Taking into account that in Ukraine there has already been formed a national school of literary postmodernism, we can assume that the issue of intertextual borrowings may be included into the list of typical intellectual property issues to be considered by forensic experts. That is why there is a need for revisiting the generally accepted principles of forensic examination of intellectual property objects. The author suggests certain research means and methods of conducting examinations of potential copyright infringements that are caused by unauthorized intertextual borrowing.
