However, as early as 1922/23 Viktor Shklovsky wrote his remarkable epistolary novel Zoo, which unites both discourses. Zoo reshapes the traditional epistolary novel in metafictional style and revitalizes it by blurring the borders between documentary and poetic epistolarity. The established view of Shklovsky's novel as an "attempt to put into practice the principles to which he adhered as a critic" repeats the division between the discourses and reconfirms the dubitable hierchy of theory over literature. A more adequate view is gained by the idea of hybridity. Object level and meta level, literature and criticism are being merged. One of the most intriguing aspects of Zoo is its new use of the "editing" paratexts that traditionally established the stable division between editor and correspondence and that arenow used to deconstruct hierarchies. These paratexts form, also by means oftheir visual design, some kind of "paraletters" and are part of an epistolary meta-dialogue. With regard to the notion of a "dialogue" between theory and literature, it is highly significant that Shklovsky chose the dialogic genre of the epistolary novel for his critifictional enterpriseRuski formalizem naj bi po splošnem prepričanju vzpostavil strogo teoretski diskurz in s tem proizvedel ali poglobil disciplinarno ločitev. Toda že 1922/23 je Šklovski v pisemskem romanu Zoo povezal ta diskurz z literaturo. Zoo metafikcijsko preoblikuje tradicionalni pisemski roman in ga prenavlja z zabrisovanjem mej med dokumentarnim in poetskim. Uveljavljeni pogledi na Zoo kot na "poskus praktične uresničitve avtorjevih teoretskih načel" le ponavljajo delitev med diskurzoma in potrjujejo dvomljivo nadrejenost teorije literaturi. Ustreznejša je koncepcija hibridnosti: v romanu se stapljata predmetna raven in metaraven, literatura in kritištvo. Zoo inovativno uporablja "uredniška" parabesedila, ki so sicer tradicionalno vzpostavljala trdno delitev med urednikom in dopisovalci, tu pa hierarhije dekonstruirajo. S svojo vizualno oblikovanostjo postajajo nekakšna "parapisma" in stopajo v epistolarni metadialog. Za pojem "dialoga" med teorijo in literaturo je pomenljivo, da je Šklovski za svoj "kritifikcijski" podvig izbral žanr pisemskega romanaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko društvo za primerjalno književnost
