Abstract

The article focuses on factors and manifestations of postmodern text fragmentation. A fragment is one of the central concepts of modern and postmodern literature. The modernist fragment was a means of cognitive activity and a form of its adequate representation. It was determined by the basic concept of the integrity of a literary phenomenon and recognition of its encoded meaning, as well as encouraged the reader to invent missing parts. It has been proven that for postmodernist prose, the fragment is the only possible mode of its existence, an artistic strategy and an artistic device. The postmodernist text is positioned by the game field, where equal participants play with multiple-order fragments. Such fragments include preceding artistic traditions and techniques. Text fragmentation is enhanced by equalizing the rights of the author, character and the reader. Each participant of the literary communication has their own (partial) view of the art world. Narrative strategies of prose fragmentation are determined by the ways of building rhizomatic narratives and the peculiarities of their perception by the receptionist. Ukrainian and Polish writers use various means of constructing a fragmented text at the levels of its conceptualization, narrative structure, interpretative and receptive strategy, image-based specifi city (intermediateness etc.).
