paratext in drama is a zone of contact between dramaturgical and stage discourses, moreover, the paratextual frame explicates the space of direct interaction between the author and the addressee. In the analysis, a set of titles and one
of the types of remarks is being updated, namely the locatives. It is being proved
that from the point of view of a paratext, the cycle is an example of
a polycode sense modeling when on the first level, we can highlight an inclusion
of the dell’arte elements in the framework design, and on the second level, we
should fix their correlation with the discourses of the characters. This structures’
clash is one of the features of the ambivalence poetics which is inherent in
Petrushevskaya’s dramaturgy. It also demonstrates a conflict interaction between the nomination and the type of dramatic situation unfolding in the play, in
which the intrigue is built autonomously in relation to the title. Special attention
is paid to the organization of the chronotope in the plays of this cycle. A withdrawn locality in which the action proceeds simultaneously points out a social
and domestic type of drama and the theatrical nature of what is happening in the
plays. The author comes to the conclusion that, in addition to the direct function (stage directions), the paratext organizes the theatrical dimension of the plot.
The key paratext role of the arts consists, therefore, in an effect of recoding the
leading chronotope, which is here the apartment. In this regard, the apartment of
Colombina appears as a receptacle for the entire theatrical form, and in this
space of action, the characters and situations are variable only within the role,
the mask. The principle that demonstrates a stylistic harmony of each individual
play and the entire cycle of “The Apartment of Colombina” is the mobility and
ambivalence of the paratext, which performs a reverse metamorphosis and transforms the scene of the plays into a stage platform. It is shown that there is a du-
plication mechanism in the paratext of the drama cycle “The Apartment of
Colombina”, when the formal living space becomes irrelevant due to an introduction of a metatheatrical code and exposes the actual stage.
Abstract The article highlights the paratext specificity in L. S. Petrushevskaya’s drama cycle “The Apartment of Colombina”. It is stated that the
paratext in drama is a zone of contact between dramaturgical and stage discourses, moreover, the paratextual frame explicates the space of direct interaction between the author and the addressee. In the analysis, a set of titles and one
of the types of remarks is being updated, namely the locatives. It is being proved
that from the point of view of a paratext, the cycle is an example of
a polycode sense modeling when on the first level, we can highlight an inclusion
of the dell’arte elements in the framework design, and on the second level, we
should fix their correlation with the discourses of the characters. This structures’
clash is one of the features of the ambivalence poetics which is inherent in
Petrushevskaya’s dramaturgy. It also demonstrates a conflict interaction between the nomination and the type of dramatic situation unfolding in the play, in
which the intrigue is built autonomously in relation to the title. Special attention
is paid to the organization of the chronotope in the plays of this cycle. A withdrawn locality in which the action proceeds simultaneously points out a social
and domestic type of drama and the theatrical nature of what is happening in the
plays. The author comes to the conclusion that, in addition to the direct function (stage directions), the paratext organizes the theatrical dimension of the plot.
The key paratext role of the arts consists, therefore, in an effect of recoding the
leading chronotope, which is here the apartment. In this regard, the apartment of
Colombina appears as a receptacle for the entire theatrical form, and in this
space of action, the characters and situations are variable only within the role,
the mask. The principle that demonstrates a stylistic harmony of each individual
play and the entire cycle of “The Apartment of Colombina” is the mobility and
ambivalence of the paratext, which performs a reverse metamorphosis and transforms the scene of the plays into a stage platform. It is shown that there is a du-
plication mechanism in the paratext of the drama cycle “The Apartment of
Colombina”, when the formal living space becomes irrelevant due to an introduction of a metatheatrical code and exposes the actual stage.
