The Current Relevance of Postformalist Shklovsky: Wonder as the New Theory of Defamiliarization
Abstract
The structuralist reception in the West prevented some perspectives of Russian formalism from being studied in depth, as they moved away from its theoretical and immanentist positions. This is the case of the ideas developed by Shklovski after 1930, who manages to advance the theory of defamiliarization through new approaches that problematize the relationship between literature, art, and reality. During his last and long period as a theorist, Shklovski moved away from the concept of ostranenie in favor of wonder. This work delves into the relationship between both concepts, understood by their compatibility, as well as the methodological possibilities that the study of wonder opens for the theory of literature and art.
