Жанровое своеобразие романа Г. Л. Олди "Шерлoк Хoлмс прoтив марсиан": между мэшапом и кроссовером

Abstract

As mass culture becomes an important part of the contemporary literary process, one cannot ignore it. New forms and genres of mass literature and culture could often be regarded as reaction to the changes in the social and public life. The most striking examples of those genres are mashup and crossover fiction, which are based on the multiple references to already existing texts. Mashup literature is a combi­nation of classic text with a dominant storyline and new plot details added by modern authors. Crossover (according to Jenkins) relies on pre-existing texts, "breaking down not only the boundaries between texts but also those between genres, suggesting how familiar characters might function in radically different environments". An example of the combination of mashup and crossover is the novel by Russian-speak­ing Ukrainian writers Henry Lyon Oldy "Sherlock Holmes vs. the Martians" (2014).

В статье анализируются текстовые отсылки к феноменам массовой культуры, фантастической литературе и отсылки, ориентированные на квалифицированного читателя. Анализ показывает, как выстраивается довольно интересный текст, в котором уже существующие сюжеты и герои переплетаются друг с другом, создавая совершенно новый нарратив.
