Abstract

The article proves the thesis about literocentrism of a modern professional reader’s critical thinking. It is contrary to the traditional perception of literary situation of the end of the XX - beginning of the XXI centuries, a period of crisis of literocentrism. The article bases upon the material, covering literary criticism of liberal and patriotic magazines, postmodern criticism, new criticism of the 2000- s. Signs of literocentrism show in each of them: finding out topical answers and truths in a fiction text, their transfer to a reader in the form of patterns of behavior / thinking, the authority of the classical literature, etc. At the turn of the XX-XXI centuries an elite writer turned into an intellectual who stopped teaching and prophesying.
