Abstract

The chaper focuses on the problem of revealing postirony in hysterical realism discourse and describing different language means of creating the effect of split up reality. It is proved that the main features of hysterical realism works are the following: the total ruin of the traditional structure, polyphony of unreliable narrators, and hence, specific postironic focus on the postmodern world, which is a split up ironic reality. The goal of the research is to highlight the key notion of postirony and to describe language means of achieving the effect of split up ironic reality in hysterical discourse. To fulfil this goal one should focus on the following tasks: to point out genre peculiarities of hysterical realism discourse; to define the notion of postirony through the prism of postmodern poetics; to single out and describe language manifestation of postirony in hysterical discourse. Hence, the following postmodern techniques of writing are irony, playfulness, black humour, stylization, intertextuality, metaprose.
