MAGIC REALISM AS A METHOD OF IMPLEMENTATION OF LATIN AMERICAN CONCEPTUAL METAPHORIC CODE

Autors: 
Kravtsova Nadezhda Semenovna, Saratov State University
Abstract: 

Magical realism is the original direction of Latin American literature of the 20th century, which has a peculiar conceptual system. In the works of magical realism, in an organic combination of elements of reality with fantastic and mythological motifs, the "miraculous" reality of the continent is reflected. In an effort to identify and establish the identity of the culture of Latin America, writers consciously select and modify the folk-mythological Indian and Negro substrate. The consequence of a new way of depicting reality is the ambiguity, increased imagery and symbolism of the artistic language.
