Abstract. The paper aims to identify the specificity of realizing the carnivalization device in C. Ransmayr’s novel "The Last World" (Die letzte Welt, 1988). The article considers artistic figurative means with the help of which the author arranges the reality in a special playful way. The main focus lies on Ovid’s "Metamorphoses" which have become a plot-compositional and content core of the Austrian author’s text. The scientific originality of the research lies in the fact that it considers the poetics of the novel "The Last World" in an integrated manner for the first time, studies the details of mythological archetypes, the author’s experiments with time, etc. As a result, it has been proved that carnival gives C. Ransmayr the opportunity to combine ancient chronotope with modern realia.
Key words and phrases: К. Рансмайр, карнавализация, хронотоп, мифологизация, постмодернизм, C. Ransmayr, carnivalization, chronotope, mythologization, postmodernism
