RECEPTIVE STRATEGIES OF Y. KLAVDIEV'S PLAY "THE YAKUZA DOGS"

Abstract

The article discusses the play by contemporary playwright Yuri Klavdiev "TheYakuza Dogs." Here is a detailed (but not exhaustive) analysis of the cultural codes. According to the author of the study, the languages of animation, cinema, classical and fictional literature, computer games and eastern philosophy form in the play, a specific "dialect" addressed to its teenage reader. The article emphasizes that a reading teenager is different from a child-reader and an adult reader: their receptive capabilities are largely defined by puberty crisis. On the one hand, in fiction a teenager looks for dynamics and heroics, and, on the other hand, they are eager to face the social reality fierce with its innumerable conflicts. In the first case, the teenagers manifest themselves as a child-reader with their interest for action and the struggle between good and evil. In the second case, on the contrary, as an adult, since the ability to see the border that separates the tale from life belongs only to a well-formed reader.
