MANIFESTATION OF CARNIVALIZED CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE 1920S NATIONAL DRAMA
The article focuses on the peculiarities of carnivalized consciousness as manifested in N. Erdman’s “The Mandate”, V. Mayakovsky’s “The Bedbug” and M. Bulgakov ‘s “Zoyka’s Apartment” . In particular, it is stated that carnivalization has a structuring role and serves as the approval of the ordinary, the so-called middle-class life in Erdman’s play. In Mayakovsky’s play carnival images have a subordinate role and satirically mock petty bourgeoisie. Finally, in Bulgakov’s play carnivalization is expressed less vividly and connected with the figure of a buffoon, or artistic hero.
