Инварианты художественной репрезентации истории Алесем Аркушам: контекст современной белорусской прозы
Literary invariants in the representation of history in the works by A. Arkush

Summary/Abstract: The questions of historical past and cultural heritage have been central in Belarusian literature over the past decades. Moreover, their importance for both authors and readers is steadily growing. At the same time, a number of recurrent motifs and images, with the help of which the authors address the urgent problems of historical memory, identity and cultural continuity have resurfaced in the fiction of contemporary Belarusian writers, who are addressing the need for a modern reinterpretation of key moments in national history. The article aims to single out “invariant” approaches to the literary representation of the national past often determined by the historical trauma of the Soviet and post-Soviet periods.
