Vladimir Nabokov's Fame

Vladimir Nabokov is an author oriented toward a text and his text - toward another text. His poem "Fame" (1942) shows the main characteristic of acmeistic poetic i.e. that one and same element of a language bears different meanings, functions and relations. Particularly emphasized, in the meaning structure of the poem are quotations, reminiscences, autoquotations and allusions, presented through the poet's dialogue with a multivoiced Someone-Something. Along with the phenomena of citation and autocitation appears another crucial aspect of acmeistic poetics - metapoetic commentary, which implies that the author introduces into the poetic text a level of formal analysis of the very same text. The effect of autometadescription is the result of the identification of various temporal and spatial parameters of a poetic text (the time of readers' reception). Such a semantic organization of the text is an instrument of the author's approach to the cultural paradigm with a clearly distinct historical task in the conditions of infeasible vertical and horizontal realization of a literary work. The function of metapoetic commentary of the poem "Fame" is above all an attempt towards contextualisation of the author's entire opus in the position of absolute cultural dislocation (emigration).
