Abstract

The article discusses Viktor Shklovsky's concept of defamiliarization (ostranenie) from a broad perspective, including criticisms of it, its contemporary ramifications and even parallels, such as the Brechtian V-effekt. The author then moves on to a broad approach of Lev Tolstoy's work from the perspective of the previous considerations regarding the shklovskian term, bringing to light various particularities of Tolstoyan poetics that tension Shklovsky's formulations.
