ELEMENTS OF POSTMODERNISM IN THE NOVEL "THE LOSER" BY THOMAS BERNHARD

Summary/Abstract: This paper will discuss Thomas Bernhard’s novel The Loser, published in 1983, through the analysis of which we will single out some of the main features of postmodernist art, referring to the texts of the most authoritative literary theorists, including Frederic Jameson, Linda Hutcheon, Ihab Hasan and others. We will pay attention to Bernhard’s attitude towards art and the place it occupies in the culture of late capitalism, as well as his view of the political scene in Austria of that period. In terms of form, we will focus on linguistic means specific only to Bernhard, but also on fragmentation and a special model of the narrator that are characteristic of the entire postmodern literature.
