Poetic Detail as a Text-Building Pivot of a Literary Work
The paper discusses the poetic detail as a pivot that organizes and develops an image in a work of fiction, and is also responsible for the developing of the linguistic context. Having analyzed the definitions of a detail, the author suggests that it means a fact, a starting point for the writer to arrange the stories into a fragmentary novel. Moreover, a poetic detail performs a pivotal part in the author’s manner of writing. Being multidimensional and holographic by nature, a detail reflects the qualities typical of the whole collection, from the author’s conception to the means used to render it. What’s more, a detail may be part of an image, may develop an image, and may be equal to it. As the author of the paper suggests her own translation decisions, it allows to prove that the artistic detail may help to verify the translation. Once an adequate equivalent is chosen, it may be used in other stories of the fragmentary novel building the “web” of details recurrent for the whole collection.
