- More about Cultures and Literatures in Dialogue: The Narrative Construction of Russian Cultural Memory
The book explores how Julian Barnes' texts depict a memory process as a transcultural mode of creating English and Russian national identities. It examines how Barnes incorporates Russian intertextual elements into his work to reveal the illusion of a solid collective memory and its political legitimation. It also offers a comprehensive analysis of Barnes' texts that play with intertextuality as a tool of displacement of official memory, providing a deeper understanding of historical and cultural processes related to the constantly moving architecture of transcultural memory.

This book delves into the intricate narrative construction of Russian cultural memory in the works of Julian Barnes. It explores how Barnes' texts often depict a memory process as a transcultural mode of creating English and Russian national identities. Through a detailed discursive analysis of selected English texts, the book reveals an intertextual remembering by duplication, contributing to the prevention of forgetting through the recuperation of misrecollected cultural meanings. By creatively incorporating Russian intertextual elements into his novelistic work, the author emphasizes the transcending of national boundaries, unveiling the fragility of the invention of tradition in fostering the illusion of a solid collective memory and its political legitimation. The book not only examines a constructive dialogue between Barnes' fiction and Russian classical literature but also his interpretative, predominantly imaginative integration of Russian literature and culture into his novels. It explores the double meaning of a literary metaphor as a mnemonic image of memory and a product of imagination, offering a comprehensive analysis of Barnes' texts that play with intertextuality as an effective tool for displacing official memory, providing a deeper understanding of historical and cultural processes related to the constantly evolving architecture of transcultural memory.
