От поэтики литературы к культурному строительству: о риторическом проекте В. Шкловского
In the late 1920s and early 1930s, V. B. Shklovsky published two short books: Writing Technique (1927) and How to Write Screenplays (1931). In these works, Shklovsky appears less as a literary researcher and theorist, writer and screenwriter than as a teacher and mentor for beginning proletarian authors. This article presents an analysis of Shklovsky's literary and pedagogical project, both in relation to other early Soviet literary manuals and to Shklovsky's attempt to participate in the Soviet Cultural Revolution. Furthermore, the article provides a comparative analysis of Shklovsky's rhetorical program, formalist poetics (Yu. N. Tynyanov's theory of parody), and avant- garde literary practices (Novy LEF). The new insights regarding the status and significance of Shklovsky's rhetorical works allow us to shed more light on his more general strategies as a Soviet intellectual.
