Abstract
In the article the author explores the constitution of the reader's response in non-classical art, with two poems, by Maiakovskii and Ivnev, as concrete examples. There appears to be a disturbance of the balance between the “real” and the “symbolic”, which is provoked by such devices as the intrusion of the “real author” in the lyric subject and the rhetoric of suffering and shock, which implicates the reader in a paradoxical kind of communication on the boundaries of the ethic and the aesthetic. The reader is forced to make a choice: to construct a new meaning or to remain in his previous position, thereby disrupting communication.
