@ARTICLE{Trojanowska_Urszula_The_2022, author={Trojanowska, Urszula}, volume={vol. LXXI}, number={No 1}, pages={95-115}, journal={Slavia Orientalis}, howpublished={online}, year={2022}, publisher={Komitet Słowianoznawstwa PAN}, abstract={This text is an attempt to analyse the ways of existence of heroes “living differently” – ghosts, phantoms, those invisible in the works of Elena Dolgopyat. In her works, the line between life and death becomes blurred: a hero who rose from the grave may turn out to be more alive than a man who did not die but exists in a sense of nonsense. He may also not notice his own death. The impure force functions in the world and is presented on a par with living characters, which is a characteristic feature of magical realism. The writer presents the non‑living, drawing on Slavic folklore tradition, as I try to show. I also juxtapose Dolgopyat’s stories with Alexander Etkind’s research on memory and trauma in Russian culture, considering them to be their exemplification.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The Non‑living Heroes in Elena Dolgopyat’s Works}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/124133/PDF-MASTER/2022-01-SOR-07-Trojanowska.pdf}, doi={10.24425/slo.2022.141148}, keywords={Russian contemporary literature, Elena Dolgopyat, non‑living heroes, ghosts and phantoms, Slavic folklore tradition}, }
