Abstract [eng] POLYMORPHY OF WRITING IN RICARDAS GAVELIS‘ FICTION ‘The Polymorpy of Writing in Ricardas Gavelis‘ Fiction‘ focuses on the analysis of Ricardas Gavelis’ fiction and discusses how the situation of a human being is outlined in the context of a changing cultural situation. The idea has been developed that Gavelis‘ fiction tries to rebel against all mental forms that suppresses identity. This author creates a polymorphous writing which can be described as alogic, nihilistic and sensual narration that destroys socialistic ideology, provincial patriotism or metaphysical stagnation of culture and with the variety of writing’s forms helps to ‘defend’ free and plural consciousness. The main theoretical ideals are taken from Roland Barthes and Julia Kristevas‘ concepts of writing. It is though that synthesis of these concepts helps to reveal the real variety of Gavelis‘ writing. The first part of the research focuses on the analysis of Barthes’ concept of writing and it’s connection to Kristeva’s concept. It is discussed how formalistic-structuralistic concept of subject and writing can be seen in the light of psychoanalytical ideas. Forms, signification, polymorphy – these are the object of the analyses in the first part. The polymorphy of writing means than Gavelis uses different ways to express the meaning in each novel. The second part of the research focuses on analyses the polymorphy writing in of Gavelis’ fiction. The aim of the analyses is to show how the variety of writing occurs. Novel ‘The Poker of Vilnius’ is described as the novel of polyphonic narrative, novel ‘The Memoirs of Young Man’ is called as writing of a disappearing one, ‘The Jazz of Vilnius” is interpreted as the improvisation of writing, ‘The Last Generation of the Manhood’ is analysed as the destructive writing and ‘Seven Ways to Commit a Suicide’ is seen as an example of self-destructive writing. This part of the research aims to reveal that Gavelis effort to express subject’s relations to history turns into desperate denial of culture and literature.
