    • Abstract:
      The text Dialogue of literary traditions: the elements of a Gothic novel in contemporary science fiction literature, based on the novels of Siergiej Łukanienko presents the phenomenon of using motifs of a classic Gothic novel in contemporary literature, especially in science fiction and fantasy. The analysis of selected motifs was carried out in the series "Patrols" by the Russian writer Siergiej Łukanienko. The works are steeped in Gothic elements, such as gloomy space, the opposition of characters, supernatural phenomena (vampires, magicians, werewolves and others). The author presents the above mentioned motifs with reserve and tongue in cheek, in parody style. This allows him to slip generalizations about contemporary Russia and the Russians, without any pathos. Moreover, it proves that Gothic novel takes part in the dialogue of both literary traditions and social conventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
