Протопоэтика постмодернистского романа А. Кима Белка
Protopoetics of postmodern novel of A. Kim Belka (Squirrel)

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the genesis of the neomythological poetics of the postmodern text on the material of the best-selling book of Anatoly Kim, the novel-fairy tale Belka (Squirrel). In the aspect of psychoanalytic literary criticism, the plot of initiation and the re¬action of the main character to the trauma of birth (war and or¬phanhood), the paranoia and depressiveness of the discourse, the system of mental twins of the character whose personality decays into a series of radical-images as a result of the schism are ana¬lyzed. The article proves that hallucinatory transformations, lycanthropy of Kim’s characters are an aspiration to mythological neutralization of the hero's psyche, in which the construction of a hallucinatory narration removes the splitting of his personal radicals. The mosaic nature of the postmodern character re-acquires its integrity in the therapeutic mythological projection.
