Між експериментом та інтелектуальним письмом: гра з літературною традицією у романі Майка Йогансена „Подорож ученого доктора Леонардо і його майбутньої коханки прекрасної Альчести у Слобожанську Швайцарію”
Between experiment and intellectual writing: game with literary tradition in the novel by Mike Johansen „The travel of scientist dr. Leonardo and his future ladylove Alchesta the beautiful to Slobozhan Switzerland”

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the novel The Travel of Scientist Dr. Leonardo […] by Mike Johansen which manifests the author’s predisposition to experimental game with literary tradition and classic poetics as well as to the intellectual writing. The experiment can be observed foremost in the decentration of the novel’s structure and textual communicative strategies. The author creates “the book of Landscape” as opposed to the narrative about events and characters. He plays with the reader, emphasizing on his presence permanently and exposing artistic techniques, uses language code switching and inserted constructions,creating an effect of cinematography. The intellectualization of writing is proved by intertextual links (first of all, parodying different literary styles), presence of irony as worldview principle in the work, motivation for the reader to construct possible worlds and to oscillate at the limit of the factuality and fictionality as well as by reflections devoted to the philosophy of things, landscapes, travels and laws of being.
