Summary/Abstract: The multicultural world, formed as a direct consequence of globalization (which, in a scientific sense, has been already acknowledged in Marshall McLuhan’s terms about the global village and media as a message), provides an opportunity to reevaluate the inherited concepts. This process is reflected in the new and active conceptualization of the term identity (Benedict Anderson, William E. Connolly, etc.), that requires its reformulation towards nationality on the whole. This paper is focused on the examination of identity and its manifestation in the novels Black Book by Orhan Pamuk and Babadjan by Zhivko Chingo, respectively, taking into account their respective narrative transformations and the anticipation of postmodern techniques. These two novels enable us to analyze the general cultural model of the artistic world, underlined by an active revalorisation of the past (especially in Chingo’s novel), and widespread imagological representations.
