Theoretical conceptions of the ‘scaz’ in Russian literary studies after the 1960s

Abstract

The paper traces the development of modern theoretical formulations of the ‘scaz’ as a type of artistic narrative based on sound speech in the works of N. A. Kozhevnikova, I. A. Kargashin, B. O. Korman, G. V. Sepik, V. A. Kukharenko, E. G. Mushchenko, V. P. Skobelev, L. E. Kroychik, Oge Hansen Lewe and Wolf Schmid in Russian Literary Studies and Slavic Studies after the 1960s. An overview of the narrative definitions in scholarly literature is presented, through which the connections of continuity between the classical and modern concepts of the narrative are derived.
