Abstract

The influence of globalization on the non-fictions of recent decades has caused its commercialization, rapid transfer to the center of the narrative of a completely different character who is often immoral, cynical, far from the Victorian type that dominated in previous decades, replacing it with simulacra. The article aims at exploring the consequences of the globalization development on literary texts including documentary ones, the emergence of new author’s documentary concepts up to pseudo- and quasi-documentary, the transformation of the understanding of literary creativity as a phenomenon, and the comprehension of the literary process through the prism of cultural production and consumption of literary product.

Keywords: globalization, literary creation, documentary, literary production, non-fiction, quasi-documentary literature.
