dc.descriptionThe current article aims at analyzing foreign tourist guides of Belarus published during 1994–2016 through the lens of postcolonial theory. It presents ideological predispositions of the colonial discourse; demonstrates that in the analyzed guides cultural colonialism is represented by the motifs of (1) victimity, (2) backwardness, (3) isolation and marginality, (4) inability of the colonial Other for self-representation (or the motif of imperceptibility). The article also demonstrates the narrative modes of representing the colonial Other that contribute to the abovementioned motifs – the passive voice of verbs, iterative repetition of words and phrases with a negative connotation, different types of tropes, the trope of humour.uk_UA
dc.description.abstractT he theoretical framework of the current paper is formed by the cornerstones that become the methodological landmarks of the analysis. First, it is a constructivist approach to the discourse of tourist guides implying that in the linguistic representation of people, places, or events discursive choice not only depicts reality but creates its ideologically preferable version. It is obvious that such concepts as representation and the Other are key to the postcolonial studies that investigate the interaction between different sociocultural powers in society, and the mechanism of Western cultural dominance over the East.uk_UA
