Blinova Y. A.	The Features of Sketches by V. M. Peskov Petrozavodsk State University, juliabl94@mail.ru Annotation: Mixture of genres takes place in journalism at present. Moreover information genres supplant artistic and journalistic genres. To prevent this, a sketch was selected for research. The aim was to determine the genre identity of the essays in the works of V. M. Peskov, one of the leading Soviet and Russian journalists. To achieve this goal the following research tasks were set: to identify the nature and main features of the sketch, identify the genre of the texts of the book ‘Steps in the Dew’, identify the typical devices that Peskov used in his sketches. With the help of the biographical and culture-historical methods we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the texts included in the collection. Thus, the sketch is a combination of artistic, journalistic and analytical elements, but the common approach to identify genre characteristics has not been found yet. There are 3 types of the sketch genre in journalism: travelling, portrait and problematic. The book 'Steps in the Dew' contains 79 materials, among them 51 sketches. The author's 'I', sketchiness and imagery are typical features of all the sketches in the collection. Intimation (94%), documentation (92%), typification of the character (86%) are also close to this indicator. It is noteworthy that only 39% of the investigated sketches are devoted to the news topics, while the author’s associations and fiction are rarely found in the analysed texts (29%). The sketches written by V. M. Peskov can be used as examples in textbooks on journalism and history. Key words: V. M. Peskov, sketch, ‘The steps in the dew’, stylistic features, photography Text (russian) References

Nikolaeva O.	Specific Features of Chronotope in Bernhard Schlink’s Story «The Son» («Der Sohn») Petrozavodsk State University, olyanik1983@mail.ru Annotation: The present study deals with the way of analyzing the chronotope from linguistic viewpoint as a kind of system that consists of three equal elements on the text level, which are subject, time and space. The author of the paper reviews all special aspects of the artistic time and space continuum in B. Schlink’s story «The son» by turns, scrutinizes them in detail and shows on particular examples, how, according to the writer’s intention, the chronotope of the story stops accomplishing the coordinating function only and sets just time and space coordinates of the fictional world of the story. Incorporating the subject category as the key element, the chronotope gets in this case an obvious emotive-expressive representation and generalizes figuratively, using a particular set of linguistic means of expression, complicated psychological processes of the main character’s mental world that symbolize its mental block and eventually its so-called «rebirth». Key words: Bernhard Schlink, chronotope, space-time organization of a literary work, coordinating function of a chronotope, emotive-expressive representation of a chronotope, chronotope of a doorstep Text (russian) References
Pere P.	The Problem of the Lyrical Hero`s Self-identification in the Collection "Färjesång" by Gunnar Ekelöf Petrozavodsk State University, polina.pere@mail.ru Annotation: The article deals with the analysis of implementation problems of the lyrical hero`s self-identification in the collection "Färjesång" by Gunnar Ekelöf. The paper investigates the structure of the collection and semantic content of its parts. The transitional nature of the collection and a marked deviation from the modernist principles are noted. Regarding the structure the collection consists of 6 parts, each part develops its themes and motifs. The connected link is the theme of self-discovery. The lyrical hero realizes with bitterness and fear that it is in human nature to be changeable and unsteady and that human is not identical with himself. In the sequence of incessant changes he tries to find himself in the various options of self-determination. In the paper they are presented by the key formulas. The mutually exclusive nature of some formulas indicates the severity of the lyrical hero`s inner conflict. Key words: Gunnar Ekelöf, Swedish literature, Färjesång, self-identification, existential conflict Text (russian) References
Konovalova M.	Gothic and Folklore Elements in Johan Theorin’s Detective Novel “The Quarry“ Petrozavodsk State University, konovmasha@yandex.ru Annotation: This article analyzes the elements of the Gothic novel and folklore in the detective novel “The Quarry” written by Johan Theorin. The synthesis of the detective with folklore is reflected in the title of the book: the Quarry is the consequence of the battle of the elves and trolls, and the place where the detective novel ends. We study the chronotope and the system of characters of the novel. Time in this novel is organized according to the folk tradition, which is expressed by the connection of the events with the seasons and holidays. The chronotope has some Gothic features as well: in the main topos, quarry, the past is connected with the present. We classified the system of characters according to the heroes’ attitude to folklore. 4 groups were singled out: characters not related to folklore; indirectly related to folklore; interacting with folklore; and actual folklore characters and heroes with their distinctive features. The following regularity was revealed in the analysis of the characters: the closer the character is associated with folklore, the more time he spends on the island, and the more important is his role in the story. In addition to the system of characters and chronotope the article describes artistic devices used by the author for the introduction of elements of fiction into the novel. Key words: Johan Theorin, “The Quarry“, detective, fantasy, gothic, folklore, chronotope, system of characters. Text (russian) References
Kozina J.	The Image of the City in the Modern Swedish Detective Petrozavodsk State University, kozylkina@yandex.ru Annotation: This article is devoted to the study of the image of the city in the modern Swedish detective. Based on the analysis of different works it reveals that the image of the city is created from different points of view: as a social, geographical and historical object. An important element is the "myth of the city", which connects all the ideas of urban space. To create the necessary atmosphere the writer uses color and light effects, exact descriptions of space, change of seasons, social processes. The object of study is a number of most popular novels in the genre of detective, translated into Russian. We have identified the opposition of a "good / bad" city, which is realized by the images of Stockholm and a provincial town. The Swedish capital is always presented to the reader in a negative light, despite the fact that much more serious crimes can be committed in a small town. Thus, the city is a symbolic element of the novel, built on the basis of different points of view and plays an important role in the work. Key words: Swedish detective, the image of the city, «the myth of the city», urban space, Stig Larsson, Jens Lapidus, Åsa Larsson Text (russian) References
