PINTERIAN’S STATEGIES OF MARGIN IN POETIC AND POLITICAL FIELDS

Abstract

This work represents a contribution to margin researches, or in other words writers whose subject-matter is in a manifold way focused on various aspects of marginality. Harold Pinter is a writer whose poetic and extrapoetic activities intensely communicate with various kinds of margine. He does not declare himself as a margin in relation to any centre. He is a noncompromising representative of his own consistent attitudes pursued for many decades. Those attitudes are antiglobal, antitotalitarian, demystifying when it comes to great, just ideas of the West. Not agreeing with contemporary lies which justify the use of force and intervention whenever necessary to defend the “national” interests of the great powers this writer takes the side of margins: groups of people, nations, complexes of humiliated countries which are set against them. That is why we can consider this author as a prototype of a margin writer.
