Abstract:

The article is devoted to the phenomenon of palimpsest intertextual links, which are capable of acting as “cultural codes”. Initially, the sourceological notion of “palimpsest” was transferred to the sphere of narratology to characterise multi-layered plots, which were encountered in Pushkin’s works, but are most significantly represented in Boris Pasternak’s novel “Doctor Zhivago”. The article draws attention to the fact that in the field of performative fiction writing (in lyrics) the palimpsest organisation of the text also occurs and can be very effective. Examples from the poetic heritage of Pushkin, Blok, Mandelstam, Pasternak, Brodsky, etc. are pointed out.

Keywords: палимпсест, сюжет, лирика, нарратив, перформатив, культурный код
