Slovenski sinopsis
English synopsis
English summary
The study points to the fact that there are two phases in the development of socart:
1) In the first phase stylization and parody prevail. With the repetition of ideologized flowery expressions, which are set in a banal context, socart discredits the truth that had been offered to the Russian people or rather forced upon by the official Soviet ideology for more than forty years. In time the subject of decanonization becomes also all forms of truth, which is offered by literature and art. In creating a parody and degradation it tries to devalue the significance of all canonized works, which were created by Russian classics.
2) With the repetition of the same procedures, which reduces the significance of a parodied work, socart becomes less and less informative. Desemantization or the gradual loss of meaning leads to the wih regard to meaning unmotivated juxtaposition of inconpatible elements, where it asserts itself as a catalogue-genre. In the second phase of socart some sort of encyclopedia-museum is created, where unmotivated sense units of contiguous elements point to the emergence of a formed emptiness. This emptiness announces the crisis in which contemporary Russian literature has sunk.
