Abstract

The article is devoted to the sociological aspect of the modern literary process. Discursive mechanisms are traced, aimed at embodying the author's concept of meanings associated with changed socio-cultural conditions. The writer-reader subject relations in popular culture are considered, which are connected with the redistribution of "life" roles in modern society. Obeying the principles of discourse analysis, the author of the work sets himself the goal of analyzing the existence of the literary and artistic text of mass culture in the context of extratextual reality. The mechanisms that determine the dynamic links between the author of a modern text, the text, the recipient and its projection on the text are revealed. Using L. Ulitskaya's novel "Medea and Her Children" as an example, it is shown how the practice of text construction is oriented towards a specific reader and correlates with the commercial specificity of the text.
