Autorenporträt

Armed with the principles of dialectical and historical materialism, he substantiates that idealism, philosophically untenable, cannot account for literary processes rationally. To him, written texts are semiotic inscriptions of ideological class struggle. Dwelling on the labor theory of language, he highlights the materialistic content of literary consciousness.
