Abstract

The present article studies the changes in the pattern of “generational” theme in Russian novel (different from the traditional schemes of “Oedipus complex”, “ fathers and sons”) towards the end of the 20th century and sets the problem of finding approaches to the explanation of this pattern in the latest works of the 1990–2000-s. The analysis of the semantics of the “generation” concept states, that “generation” is considered as one of the institutions of the reality objectification, because it is the way of transferring such objectivity of the institutional world that was required to “increase” and “strengthen”. The paper proposes a concept of the “generational” plot as an image of communication between generations on the “co-being” level, when one character is involved into the construction of the objective reality image from subjective ideas in order to transfer their experience to another generation. The article offers an explanation of this plot, relying on the phenomenological sociological conception of Berger and Luckmann
