Parodia czy kryptodialog? Na przykładzie Это было у моря Igora Siewierianina i Вы смотрели на море... Borysa Popławskiego

Author disputes with Helene Menegaldo ’s idea, according to which Boris Poplavski’s Выгсмотрели на море... is a parody of Igor Severyanin’s Это быгло у моря. Formal and semanticanalysis of both texts presented in the article proves that Poplavski’s poem cannot be a parody,a pastiche, or a travesty of Severyanin’s work but rather an encrypted dialogue perfectly blendinginto various intertextual contexts typical for the world literature that scrutinizes eternal questions.Poplavski didn’t mock Это быгло у моря, he just bitterly commented in Bunin’s style on miniaturepoem of Severyanin pointing at volatility of happiness, swift elapsing of love infatuations andalso the role of chance which often decides about tragic human fate.
