Постмодернистката деконструкция на провинциално-имперските координати: „Убийство във Византия“ от Юлия Кръстева
Postmodernist Deconstruction of the Provincial-Imperial Coordinates: Julia Kristeva’s Murder in Byzantium

Summary/Abstract: Julia Kristeva’s Murder in ByzantiumThe article examines Julia Kristeva’s novel Murder in Byzantium, in which a typical structuralist provincial-imperial model of the world order is deconstructed from the standpoint of post-structuralism. It is assumed that the appeal to the history of Byzantium has certain autobiographical grounds. In this way, Kristeva demonstrates the relativity of the concepts of ‘centre’ and ‘periphery’ from a historical perspective: Byzantium, Bulgaria, France, the United States eventually dissolve into the “global village”, which is embodied in the novel in the image of Santa Barbara.
