Interaction of narrative and performative discourses in F. Swarovsky’s lyrics

This work is devoted to identifying the mechanisms of mutual influence of narrative and performative discourses in the lyrics of the modern poet F. Swarovski. The author finds out that the eventfulness of the narrative level of the texts is based on the intersection of the semantic boundary between human and non human, ordinary and extraordinary. The act of crossing a significant semantic boundary creates conditions for the development of narrative intrigue, preparing the recipient of the text for the perception of revelation, realizing the performative effect of artistic utterance. Analyzing the corpus of poems by F. Swarovsky the author identifies two types of interdiscursive interaction that determine the artistic specificity of the considered creative system. In poems of the first type the narrative plays the role of “trigger mechanism” for the emergence of lyrical revelation. In the texts of the second type, the narrative unfolds and concretizes the performative self actualization of the subject. The task of implementing a certain type of suggestiveness changes the structure of a narrative statement, but does not completely “dissolve” it. Thus, the texts preserve the temporary distance between the storytelling event and the narrated event, the figure of the narrator, and the mechanism of episodization. However, the functions of episodization, its nature, as well as the principles of the unfolding of narrative intrigue are changing. As a result of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that, despite the complex performative narrative nature of the discursivity of the Swarovsky’s texts, it is lyrical suggestiveness, and not narrative intrigue, that becomes the main factor involving the recipient in aesthetic dialogue.
