Summary/Abstract: The problem of skaz poses a challenge before literary theory, especially in that it requires a rethinking of the way in which a literary work can combine literary and non-literary elements. The present paper offers a reflection on the form skaz from the perspective of the literary theory of models. The main argument concerns the way in which the modelling of the literary field operated by this form (that is, modelling of what can be said in a literary work of art and in what manner) is simultaneously modelling of the reality outside the text. In skaz the questions of style are in an immediate way social and political questions. The literary theory of models sheds new light on the way in which, as Zaprian Kozludzhov has claimed, skaz is an intersection point between esthetics and ethics.
