ЈАВНАТА ИСТОРИЈА ВО НАРАТИВНИОТ РЕТРОВИЗОР НА ПРИВАТНАТА ИСТОРИЈА
PUBLIC HISTORY IN THE NARRATIVE REAR-VIEW MIRROR OF PRIVATE HISTORY

Summary/Abstract: The subject matter of this article is the novel The Remains of the Day by the British novelist Kazuo Ishiguro. Our interpretation is focused on one of the dominant aspects in the postmodern novel: immanent provocation of the relation between literature and history, between fiction and fact, between present and past. Ishiguro’s novel offers an affirmation of the main postmodern question of history, that is, of the traditional relation between two levels of the concept of history (history as res gestae and history as historia rerum gestarum). The aim of the interpretation is to identify levels of transgression of the boundaries between history and fiction through their shared narrative aspects and rhetorical structures.
