Realistički i modernistički simultanizam: Flaubert i Rozanov

Simultaneity is a fhenomenon while simultaneism is a system of transferring or modeling simultaneous processes (Užarević 1998). At the start of his chapter "The forms and programs of simultaneism" in the book The Basis of Modernism, V. Žmegač gives an example of simultaneism from a novel out of the realistic tradition - Flaubert's Madame Bovary. However, V. Žmegač cautions thet Flaubert's "representation of simultaneity" - taking place as it does amongst spatially distanced events - "despite its unusual appearance, is an element which accords without obstacles with the vision of reality which was customary in the literary works written in accordance with the programatic intentions of realism". (1986: 173). Žmegač maintains that one can speak of simultaneism as a modernistic procedure only when "the homogeneity of action in the old sense of the word has been discarded, that is, when one of its 'series' does not stand in an immediate fabular relation with another" (1986: 183). According to this conception simultaneism emphasises the disparity of phenomena - the joining of a number of different, vrious happeinings, events or processes within the framework of one whole (the text) in one and the same temporal constellation - "so thet this second kind of simultaneism can conditionally be named disparatism" (183). In that case the basic stylistic feature of the text is parralel positioning, that is, the conscious supposition on the same level of different, seemingly unconnectable, elements, thet is semantic, spatial and temporal fragments. If one applies these theses to the experimental nonfabular prose of the Russian writer, publicist and philosopher from the beginning of the century Vasilij Vasiljevič Rozanov - to his diaristic-essayistic works Lonesome Things (Uedinennoe, 1912) and Fallen Leaves (Opavšie list'ja, I-II, 1913-1915) - it is obvious that Rozanov relies on the simultaneistic procedure in the construction of his texts, that is, on the stylistic procedure of disparate enumerations or the positioning/contrasting of disparate, therefore different, unsimilar, opposite, phenmena.
