Paper Title
Teaching Classical Texts and its Postmodernist Modifications in Georgian Universities

Abstract
Postmodernism, considered as a marker of only Euro-American culture, has been precisely adapted to the psychology of the crisis-ridden society of post-Soviet Georgia since the 1990s. In the conditions of postmodern intertextuality the so-called “remote repetition” of classical texts became possible as one of the main techniques for constructing a modern novel.The paper examinesthis process using one of the most significant classical texts of the Medieval Georgian literature - "The Knight in the Panther’s Skin" (1189-1207) by Shota Rustaveli and its postmodernist interpretation - "The Book" by Aka Morchiladze, a famous Georgian writer and literary historian. When teaching these texts, the comparative method should be used, that emphasizes the explicit edges of postmodernist narration focused on the reconstruction of this classical text, in particularly:eclecticism, intertextuality, mystification, allusion, etcetera. Keywords - Intertextuality, Postmodernism, “The Book”, “The Knight in the Panther’s Skin”.
