POLITICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE INTERTEXTUALITY OF THE FILM AND NOVEL ‘PETROV’S FLU’

Abstract

The article examines the issue of “intertextuality” between the novel “Petrov’s Flu” and the film with the same title. The author of the article emphasizes the importance of studying this problem and its theoretical and practical significance. Research on the topic of “intertextuality” has been going on for a long time, but most of it focuses on the works of art themselves, without touching on the question of the value and significance of “intertextuality” for reality. The main goal of this study is to examine how the novel and the film use clever techniques to conduct a hidden dialogue and to analyze how the author, layer by layer, unmasks the ills of the era in this dialogue. The analysis focuses on how the author of the novel and the director use a matrix of meanings to achieve ideological resonance and dialogue. The conclusion of the article notes that the “intertextuality” between the film and the novel “Petrov’s Flu” is not only an artistic technique, but also an important tool for solving real problems.
