Conflicto de identidades. El año desnudo de Borís Pilniak

Abstract

Pilniak´s novel, The Naked Year, published in 1922, has a particular device which can develop relationships among literature and society, modernist changes, modes of representation relative to pop culture and institutions, all these in the frame of the Revolution. We consider “identities at stake” related to the characters and the ways they process their lives in the very moment the Revolution appears. The year 1921, is the space-time when, under a deep dialogic way, we can see the new revolutionary discourses together with faire tales, songs and another quotations which go to vindicate a conception of the Russian traditions alive in the context of the facts in 1921.
