On the Concept of the Body and Carnality in the Post-Revolutionary Stories and Novels by Stanislav Rakús
2015
Abstract
Body image and carnality is specifically tied to the poetics of modern prose, these images interfere with the basic structure of a literary text. Post-revolutionary prose of Stanislav Rakús is based on modelling such images, especially grotesque and comical body.
Modelling paradigm involved motifs such as tracking, alcohol, procedures of irony, proccedures of contrast as well as different subtypes of the body and carnality. Basic body imaging procedures and carnality change with the transformaton of poetics developed by the writer.
The semantic shift from juvenile stories to post-revolutionary prose reflects more important focus on modelling the comic body. The image of the grotesque and comical body is related to the absurd atmosphere.
