carnivalization, comic, creativity, polycode means, postmodern literary textAbstract
The present paper aims at the analysis of the postmodern comic literary texts and their peculiar features. In the focus of the attention is polycode organization of the texts, which is based on polystylistic and polysemiotic techniques. Application of these techniques proves that the comic depends on the carnival type of consciousness of the author, who is a creative personality – Homo Ludens. The author of the postmodern comic literary text has a specific vision of the world which is expressed through the use of carnival plots, images, themes and devises. It has been demonstrated that most commonly used are intertextual inclusions, sarcasm, irony, combination of verbal and non-verbal elements, game with fronts.
