Hrabal’s novel “I Served the King of England”. Firstly it stresses on the body-centered\u0000nature of the narration in this literary work, in which the evolution of personality is represented\u0000as “a history of the body”. The study focuses on the techniques of restructurizing “the body scheme”\u0000and the manifestation of psychophysiological transgression caused by the existing “archetypal\u0000canons”. It traces the correlation of the semantics of the body identity with the aesthetic categories\u0000of the beautiful and the ugly and with gender differentiation. The paper also considers gastronomy\u0000as one of the aspects of bodiliness in B. Hrabal’s novel. It details the poetics of grotesque which manifests\u0000itself in the descriptions of the body emphasizing its objectiveness. The study looks at the Rabelaisian\u0000traditions followed by the writer in the depiction of the scenes connected with eating both everyday\u0000food and exotic dishes. The research underlines that the body in B. Hrabal’s novel is displayed\u0000as a genetic data medium, visualized through physical characteristics, that highlights the social\u0000arrangement of the body identity problems. It pays attention to the social function of a human\u0000face in archaic societies originally interpreted in the novel. The research determines the peculiarities\u0000of the space marking of the body in the literary work and its correlation with the binary opposition\u0000“top–bottom”. It looks at the formation of the body identity by means of a mirror reflection and\u0000the image of the double. The conclusions of the research emphasize the specificity of the modeling\u0000of the body identity in the novel of the Czech writer. The results of this scientific paper can be used\u0000in further research on B. Hrabal literary prose and in comparative studie","PeriodicalId":120787,"journal":{"name":"LITERARY PROCESS: methodology, names, trends","volume":"177 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122176807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the process of research the active use of quotations and allusions by the writer was found out. Quotations are organically embedded in the speech of all characters, it is especially true of the main character (71 example found). The novel is dominated by quotations with partial attribution - indicating the author of the prototext (37 quotations) or the whole work (4 quotations). There are 6 quotations with full attribution, 4 quotations with “allusive” attribution and 10 quotations with unspecified attribution. Unattributed quotes are most taken from the reading-books. Ukrainian, Old Slavic, Russian, Ancient Greek, Latin, German, French, English, Italian, and Turkish languages appear in these intertextual inclusions. Allusions to works of Ukrainian and foreign authors, the Bible, myths, numerous historical and philosophical reminiscences (Ptolemy, Strabo, Xenophon, Plato, Max Stirner) are actively used in the novel.\u0000\u0000Other types and forms of intertextual relations in the novel include: 1) paratextuality (the title of the third part of the novel \"Following St. Ephrem the Syrian\" emphasizes the prototext, which played an important role in the spiritual evolution of the main character); 2) hyperintertextuality — paraphrases used to establish a dialogue with other literary works in terms of saving text space; 3) metatextuality (Lahovskyi's reflections on Ivan Franko's \"Parable of Beauty\", Volodymyr Shmidt's discourse of Heine's poetry \"Der Asra\"); 4) autointertextuality (citing the other poetic works of Ahatanhel Krymskyi in the novel). The novel also reveals examples of apocryphal intertextuality (a fictional \"quote\" from the biblical book of Jesus Sirach) and intermediality (references to the opera \"Faust\", \"Siciliana\" from \"Cavalleria Rusticana\", Rubinstein's music to Heine's \"Der Asra\", Ophelia's song, a Japanese song about a goldfish, Wagner’s operas).\u0000\u0000The list of key prototexts of the analysed novel includes: 1) the Bible; 2) ancient literature and mythology; 3) Ukrainian literature; 4) Russian literature; 5) German literature. Episodic references to English, French, Italian literature, Eastern poetry and folklore appear in the novel. Taking into account the variety of types and forms of intertextuality in the novel and the significant fleshing out of the intertextual field with textual inclusions from the works of Ukrainian and foreign writers, we can consider the novel \"Andrii Lahovskyi\" to be one of the first examples of an intellectual novel in Ukrainian literature.","PeriodicalId":120787,"journal":{"name":"LITERARY PROCESS: methodology, names, trends","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128986459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relevance of the topic can be explained by the active attention of society to the concept of identity and its search in the XXI century. The object of study is the novel \"Flights\" and the subject is the problem of identity, which is presented in this novel. Analysis, induction, deduction, descriptive and contextual methods were used during the work. The novelty of the article lies in considering aspects of the novel that have not been studied before and in proposing a new look at the features of such a concept as identity. The article analyzes different interpretations of this term in Ukrainian, English and Polish, draws attention to its semantic transformation; some fragments of the \"Flights\", identity features of several heroes of this novel and their understanding of the corresponding term have been investigated; the key role of awareness of one's own existence as a component of identity has been established; the role of language in the formation of self-consciousness has been analyzed, as well as the influence of self-identification on the existence of an individual; the possibility of the existence of identity not only for homo sapiens, but also for other living beings, as well as non-beings, has been shown; the role of objects in the categorization of individuals has been established. The research has shown that language (with any form of expression – both oral and written) is an important factor in the formation of both external and internal identity. At the same time, the presence of language is not a necessary condition for the emergence of identity, as this concept can be interpreted very broadly and attributed not only to subjects but also to objects. The identification process may be accompanied by the use of additional items that facilitate categorization. Changes in self-identification can cause radical changes in the existence and become the impetus for his transition into non-existence. The work has considerable prospects. In particular we plan to analyze other fragments of the novel \"Flights\" in terms of identity theory, as well as to build a scheme for the formation of self-awareness.","PeriodicalId":120787,"journal":{"name":"LITERARY PROCESS: methodology, names, trends","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127893617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the article is to establish a connection of this problem\u0000to the peculiarities of the interpretation of the chronotope (which is a result of analysis of the opposites\u0000capital-country and East-West. The urban issue of the Silent House grounds on the eschatological\u0000paradigm and the cyclic concept of the world, the concept of eternal return; this attests a postmodernist\u0000understanding of the categories of time and space. Hence, the composition of the novel is a peculiar\u0000spatial and temporal mosaic and narrative polyphony. In the temporal space of the Silent House\u0000the spatial (home and provincial town) and temporal (past and present) images, motive of travel\u0000(real and metaphysical in the form of memories), of the travelers acquire the semantics of existential\u0000metamorphosis that lead to moral and spiritual initiation. And the closed space of the novel —\u0000the house of Mrs. Fatma and the provincial Turkish town — appears as a special topos-gerontope,\u0000the main principle of which is a freezing of the time. In this way Pamuk realizes typical for his works\u0000problems of relations between the West and the East and self-identification.","PeriodicalId":120787,"journal":{"name":"LITERARY PROCESS: methodology, names, trends","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126247510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
