POSTCOLONIAL BODY, IN THE GAP OF DISCOURSES, AT THE EDGE OF LITERARY PERFECTION
The review is devoted to the new works in which the status of the body in culture is conceptualized. The review proves that today studies of corporeality, although methodologically linked to critics of discourse and postcolonial studies, are not limited to applying these achievements to new objects, but supplement them with a theory of literature that acts as a metacritic of the criticism of discourses itself. The productivity of approaches related to the analysis of the text discloses insufficiency of discourses in different eras for understanding the changing status of the body. It turns out that the key to different hypotheses about the postcolonial and traumatic body is the new systematization of the theory of literary fiction, developed through the psychology of the self and new interpretation of the Christian doctrine of embodiment and salvation as the main meta-plot of body history.
