REPETITION AND CREATION. PETKO R. SLAVEYKOV “HOW I BECAME BAGPIPER”

  • ABSTRACT

    The article focuses on the creative legitimation of P. R. Slaveykov upon the appearance of his first self-edited newspaper. The text interprets the intratextual mechanisms related to the development and testing of authorial roles, the multiplication of creative figures, and the construction of Slaveykov’s own personal myth in the context of the Bulgarian revival publicity. In this case, we are interested in the special emphasis on the creation of the writer as an unfinished act of initiation, enclosed in the multiplying iterative scheme of becoming.
