NARRATIVE STRATEGY IN THE NOVEL BY S. A. ALEKSIEVYCH “WAR HAS NOT GOT WOMEN’S FACE…”

Abstract

The article deals with the specific features of narrative strategy in the novel of S. Aleksievych “War Has not Got Women’s Face…”. The attention is focused on the main narrative technique of the author, which synthesizes explicit and implicit content of the novel by bringing into life the themes of repetition, motives, plots, and uses “stream of consciousness” means, an original time-and-space continuum.
The strategy of subversion provides splitting of the short stories discourse to formal and non-formal versions of the past. Thus, subconscious character of presenting the material and multi-perspective vision of the past are the specific features of women’s subversions. Feminine projection of S. Aleksievych characters is transferred into author’s poetics of “invented perception”, which builds up the correlation of inner and outer worlds.
