From the literary point of view, their prose ranges from postmodernism to metamodernism, with Pelevin closer to the former, and Sorokin, to the latter of the two poles. Their aesthetic choices should be correlated with their public postures (involving biographical trajectories, artistic creeds, ethical statements, political choices, and so on). Postmodern tropes like unreliable narration, irony, and self-referentiality can be connected to political relativism, whataboutism, and solipsism, while the metamodern emphasis on the affective turn resonates with a mutant form of moral responsibility, in a postapocalyptic ecosystem. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Caietele Echinox is the property of Echinox Cultural Foundation and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
