Summary/Abstract: The goal of this work is to use the genesis and characteristics of carnivalization as a literary method and of the carnival as a genre-motive core to analyze the possibility of noticing and establishing a new poetic and genre formation in the 20th-century literature. It should be based on the centuries-old tradition of the Menippean satire and the carnivalization of literature on the one hand, and modernism on the other. The theoretical basis for this work is Bakhtin’s theory of carnivals, national culture and carnivalization as a way of transposing these motifs and phenomena in literature.
