The meaning of the “localization” status in the modern Slavic fantasy texts (novels “Koschey’s bride” by A. Charoit, “Witch practice” by S. Arslanova and “I will burn out revenge in myself” by D. Tchaikovskaya)

Abstract

The article examines the phenomenon of the “localization” status in the modern Slavic fantasy texts. The concept of “localization” and its traditional form in the sources of Slavic fantasy as folklore and fairy tales are considered. The named novels are analysed in order to identify the meaning of this status and its necessity in the context of the disclosure of images. The author comes to the conclusion that the traditional status of “localization” is undergoing some changes and can be used in the texts of modern Slavic fantasy in an unconventional way, but its relevance does not disappear, since this status affects the change in the external, internal, class and family statuses of the characters of the work.
