PROLEGOMENA OF POSTMODERNISM THROUGH COMPARATIVE READING OF IF ON A WINTER'S NIGHT A TRAVELER BY I. CALVINO AND WITCHES BY V. ANDONOVSKI: DOCTA IGNORANTIA VS DOCTA

Summary/Abstract: After the crisis of the Modernist era, which manifested as disruption of all known values and caused by social and historical circumstances in which there is no more possibility for a person to lean on a comprehensive system of knowledge and values. Postmodernism in born exactly from such crisis. But still, it is not clear if Postmodernism presented a new era, new cultural and social beginning, or just a crisis of Modernism? Epistemology and the absurd as the main base of Modernism, were abandoned in the spectre of a new era and the ideal of rhetoric succesively prevailed. Pardox, as one of the well known and recognized figures of the rhetoric became the basic starting point of Postmodernism, because it excludes the reference to reality to something else outside itself. The specific poetical techniques and ways of postmodern writting are recognized and well known in the theory of literature: fragmentariness has thus become its main trait which does not work on a cognitive level, but rather on a communicative one. A compulsion to condense through the fragments, only offers a string of possible beginnings and endings, intentional and unfounded interruptions, lacking ambition to offer a final interpretation of its form. The uncertain narration, often without punctuation, whose sections end in false, multiple, or parodied endings, makes it possible to create multiple codification of seemingly unrelated plots, as images transferring complete, closed experiences which expel each other during the narration. All this results in unpredictable flow of the narration, inserting metafictional commentaries, addressing directly to the reader with a direct speech, including him as a figure in the text, overflow of details that prevent the visualisation of the entirety. This article deals with simmilarities and differencies of two novels, which both demonstrate the post-modern paradigms: If on a winter's night a traveler by I. Calvino and Witches by V. Andonovski.
