Postmodern in paradise. About the work of Olga Sedakova

The book of a literary critic and writer Ksenia Golubovich is devoted to the work of the poet, essayist, theologian Olga Aleksandrovna Sedakova. Articles of different years are united by an internal theme: postmodern as the possibility of a new exalted one. To work out this topic, the author had to develop new approaches to the poetic text, especially since Olga Sedakova’s poems are a magnet, which inevitably changing the speech of poetry after the disasters of the twentieth century. A demonstration of a change in the way to think about poetry in the light of the texts of Olga Sedakova is undoubtedly included in a number of the main tasks of this book.

"postmodern - that is, that after modern, - in its minimum effort it means: much of what was, it is no longer possible, but in its maximum condition: everything that was, but in a different way, can . But as? Yes, by some miracle - white in white. In the case of Olga Sedakova - from my point of view - a miracle occurs. If a miracle does not happen, then we meet with a hard, ironic and solid barrier on the path of any large narratives, non -critical, sentimental buildings, mass ideologies. And if we get into a miracle, we will be able to find the answer to the challenge that threw our humanity to our humanity for the twentieth century, we will be able to see a certain new dignity of a person, his new purpose. ” Ksenia Golubovich
