Ann Oakley leaves many questions for a curious reader to ponder on yet the only point remains evident: any development or continuation of the plot are feminine-focused, female coloured. CONCLUSIONS Ann Oakley constructs culturally relevant identities. A diverse range of female characters accumulates the postmodern worldview. On the one hand, these are individuals with distinctive traits and established values; on the other – they exemplify lack of autonomy, consumption dependence and reference to the synchronic paradigm in its broad sense. The “feminine” features of the analysed novels are identified in such aspects: the events that trigger the plot development are brought about by a female character; these events arise from the female character’s connectedness (family, job, romance) and are specified by a traditionally accepted feminine approach towards their qualification and evaluation; as far as the three novels bear the signals of postmodern philosophy there are obvious transformations noticeable in female characters representation, in particular, their acquirement of agency features translated through the female activity, resoluteness, determinism implemented in both the narrative flow and lingual units. SUMMARY The paper concerns the significance of identity explication in a plot development. Verbal means of feminine identity representation are considered to be text constructs determining the contents and succession of plot events. The concepts of agency and connectedness serve the matrix within which feminine and masculine characters are treated as bearing stereotyped traits. The study of Ann Oakley’s novels “Matilda’s Mistake”, “The Men’s Room”, and “A Proper Holiday” proves that the scope of events and the way of their narration are derived from the","PeriodicalId":145349,"journal":{"name":"MODERN PHILOLOGY: PROMISING AND PRIORITY AREAS FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHES","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":"130463192","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}

Under this concept, which was first developed by Louis Althusser, I mean a set of factors that influence society, forming certain hegemony and defining the system of power relations. From the very beginning, the novel’s character Ludvik Jahn is reluctant to return to his hometown, the center of which he roamed in childhood and adolescence. In the end, the character confesses that it is not just reluctance, but a hatred that causes this psychological discomfort associated with the perception of the past. The motif of superstructure corresponds to the motif of cultural transgression and transculturalism discourse in general in contemporary literature and cinema texts of the post-postmodern period. The scholars admit that The Hegelian contradiction is never overdetermined. Therein lies the difference between Hegel and Marx and between economism and Althusser’s reading of Marx. The contradiction between forces and relations of productions cannot explain historical change on its own. It only acquires ruptural force through its overdetermination by contradictions arising in different levels of the social formation. Instead of a direct causal link between base and superstructure, which conceives of politics and ideology as epiphenomena or by-products of the economy, the superstructures acquire their own specificity and effectiveness in the historical process, to the extent that changes in the base do not automatically modify the superstructures (Althusser, 1969, pp. 111, 115). The latter are part of the conditions of existence of the economic level, if only because labour legislation intervenes to organise the process of production (Althusser and Balibar, 1970, p. 178). The superstructures always already contaminate the base 1 .","PeriodicalId":145349,"journal":{"name":"MODERN PHILOLOGY: PROMISING AND PRIORITY AREAS FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHES","volume":"12 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":"122548688","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}

{"title":"STYLISTIC BASIS OF STEPHEN KING’S HORROR NOVELS","authors":"L. Didukh","doi":"10.36059/978-966-397-194-0/1-22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36059/978-966-397-194-0/1-22","url":null,"abstract":"INTRODUCTION Stephen King is a popular modern writer of horror. Some critics do not approve his writing style, and this is what differentiates him from other popular horror writers. S. King’s writing style is very specific and distinctive. The author uses many figures or measures that are not common to most modern writers and this is what makes him and his works so special. This article is focused on stylistic peculiarities of S. King’s writing style. As Teodoro Gómez wrote in his book about S. King, ‘King was manifoldly christened an American Dickens because of his style, plain and simple in receival’ 1 [translation mine]. This cannot be argued – his writing style goes down well with most of his readers, although some of the more demanding intellectuals disdain it. Obviously, in the literary community there is controversy on this topic. Some people notice that ‘it is very easy to be upset with horror writer Stephen King, for not only has he turned out his annual, successful terrifier, he has also produced a remarkable nonfiction work in which he discusses the meaning and the appeal of the horror story’ 2 . This is not a popular technique among writers – to give away their secrets about how to write to achieve success. Nonetheless, this is just what S. King does. This is a reason of adoration from one side, but also a reason of animosity from the other. Of course, other popular readers do not want everyone to know how to be a good writer – this would cause a huge increase in literary competitors. Thanks to S. King’s explanations it is easier for the readers to understand the roots of their fears. It is understandable then, that S. King is more often adored by readers than other writers, although many writers really respect his achievements and talent. Being a best-selling author of horror stories in the world is undisputable. ‘But the respect of the literary establishment has always eluded King.
