Pages: 63-89

Abstract:

The current research aims to track how the postmodern 19th c. models of cultural identification are being constructed. Our attention is attracted by the devices of the genuine pattern for coming back into the childhood memory, used by Todor Vlaykov in his memoir “Childhood” (v. І). A few conceptual micromodels are interpreted, including the following concerned ones: “аccomodation” of flashback into an outspread, detailed and memory sacral vision of the interior in narrator’s native house; рointing out the woman’s and man’s acts during establishing and adopting the domestic microarea; acts which are “distributed” between the mother and the father; detailization of the strict adherence to the ethographic facts of the interior architecture of his native house and according to historically fixed architectural features of the period.

Keywords:

tradition, memory, continuity, patriarchy, matriarchy, modernity, native house, childhood, model of a cultural identification.
