На «Агоре» сегодня: подходы к изучению транслингвальной литературы

Abstract

This article is further cognitive step in a complex epistemological trajectory set by the research object “translingual literature”. This term, transported into Russian science from Western scientific discourse, still needs to be understood and clarified taking into account a number of extralinguistic factors of the post-Soviet space, which do not allow us to use it as an absolute equivalent of a scientific construct developed by foreign colleagues. After analyzing the corpus of scientific articles by leading scientists, we came to the conclusion that the deductive logic, which is guided by researchers from the far abroad, does not coincide with the principles that post-Soviet modernity dictates to us. Hence — the controversial nature of the article and its main goal: to consider the variety of approaches to translingual literature that are actively used in both Western and Russian science. Among the objectives of the paper — the formation of “navigation map” of approaches for researchers studying translingual literature both in Russia and abroad; substantiation of the basic differences between socio-cultural locales from which translingual literature grows; the formulation of a debatable question about the clarification of the usable hyponyms of the term in the post-Soviet space (Russian-language or Russophone literature). In our work, an attempt is made to answer these questions based on the extensive research context of foreign and Russian science.
