LIMINALITY: AN ANALYSIS OF CONCEPTS AND LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION OF LIMINALITY IN LITERARY STUDIES

Abstract

The article deals with a concept of liminality in the context of modern literary studies. The relevance of the study is conditioned by the increasing role of liminal spaces and states in the literature of the XXI century, reflecting global socio-cultural transformations. The objective of the work is to analyse the main aspects of liminality in literary discourse. The research methodology is based on an interdisciplinary approach that combines linguophilosophical, sociocultural and psychological aspects of liminality interpretation. The study reveals the key levels of liminality manifestation in literature: plot-chronotopic, character, narrative and linguistic. It is established that liminality acts as an important tool for analysing the processes of transformation of personality and society reflected in modern literary works. The results of the study expand the theoretical basis of literary studies and provide practical tools for analysing modern literature in the context of global cultural processes. Prospects for further research can be associated with a more detailed study of the role of liminality in certain literary genres and directions, as well as with the study of the relationship between literary representations of liminality and real socio-cultural processes in modern society.
