Поэтика комического в романе Люне Янушите «Oшибка корректуры» (1938)

The report is delivered, that „comic prose“ in Lithuanian literature is almost unexplored, and researched very little. Literary scholars more analyzed Lithuanian „comic literature“ in Soviet times, for example: Algis Kalėda „Comicism in Lithuanian Soviet Prose“ (Vilnius: Vaga, 1984) and so on. The report emphasizes that ranks of women humorists in the context of Lithuanian literature are very rare. The most important are only two authors: Liūnė Janušytė (1909–1965) and Vytautė Žilinskaitė (b. 1930). Liūnė Janušytė did not receive much attention because of its non-female character, for due to a disordered lifestyle; Vytautė Žilinskaitė is acknowledged as a master of paradoxical storytelling, but her work on children is discussed more. Lithuanian female writer Liūnė (real name – Liucija) Janušytė belongs to the Lithuanian literary tradition of 1918–1940. Her feljetons, humoresques have been since 1926. Her collections of feljetons „Ant ko ir pasirašau…“ (I sign it, 1935), „Važiuojam!“ (Let's go! 1936) published in separate books. A satirical, humorous novel „Korektūros klaida“ (The Mistake of Proof) published in 1938 and depicting the life of Parisian Bohemian. The autobiography of this novel was determined by the author's Liūnė Janušytė own life in Paris in 1936–1938. Gender stereotypes as the basis of comicism in the novel by Liūnė Janušytė „The Mistake of Proof“ are presented in this report. The aim of the report is to show how the female writer tries to deny the social parts of sexes, the schematized attitude towards sex. The denial of woman’s identification with passiveness, obedience is emphasized, and how it turns into a parody. „Masculinity“ and „femininity“ in the space of the novel seem to loose its meaning, becomes like a carnival.[...]Mokytojų rengimo institutasVytauto Didžiojo universiteta
