„EПИМEНИДОВ” ПAРAДОКС ПРИПОВEДAЧA
“EPIMENIDES’” PARADOX OF THE NARRATOR

Summary/Abstract: In a specific brief outline of the relevant narratological theories, the paper provides a review of the meanings and uses of some of the key narratological terms, investigating the applicability of the existing classifications of the narrative procedure in the analysis of the polyphonous narration. The central point of research is the opposition subjectivity and objectivity of narration, that is paradoxicalness of their mutual relation. The paper is also dedicated to a specific anullment of the oppositions like mimesis/die- gesis, discourse/narration, the first person narrative/the third person narrative, aiming to point to the paradoxicalness and complexity of the relation which cannot be explained simply by reducing it to the subjective or objective esthetics. Modern novel underlines the paradoxicalness of the relation between the subjectivity and objectivity of narration, as well as the relation between reality and fiction, thus challenging the traditional models of analysis of the narrative text. The narrative text cannot be observed anymore as an object of creation, in the same way one cannot anymore determine the real subject of narration. The narrative procedure is viewed as voicing of the work’s logos, a hidden principle controlling — from the inside — both the narrator and the narration and determining their mutual relation, defying the models created exclusively on the basis of the formal criteria.
