THE DISCOURCE OF CULTURAL DIVERSITY, OR A NEW METHOD OF LITERARY ANALYSIS IN BELARUSSIAN LITERATURE (BASED ON MODERN CRITIQUE AND LITERARY STUDIES)

Abstract

The article explores the methods of analysis in modern Belarussian literary studies. The author attempts to survey changes within modern literary and critical development and argues the dissemination of different analysis methods and their interpretation. Evaluation approaches to a literary work are often replaced with accentual, nominative, or formal ones. This leads to the content differentiation between critical and literary texts, and to the creation of a new text or the so-called “new criticism”. Maximal generalization, scetchiness, or essay style in considering the literary work are the conditions for the poeticization of philological texts and the fragmentariness of research. Analysis of a particulary literary text turns into a the process of creation of new con-cepts and perspectives of the new literary process, into a reflection of a writer’s mode of thinking, literary critic or a contemporary in general.
