Postmodern Irony:
deconstruction of the text, the principle of non-selection

Irony is the ideological basis of postmodern culture. The history of the study of irony comes from Plato and Aristotle, who began to investigate, identify and analyze its properties in various manifesta­ tions. Their traditions were continued in the works of N.B. Mankovskaya, V.S. Samokhvalova, M. Li­ povetsky, V.A. Kozlov, A.V. Dyakov and others, reveals the nature of irony in the context of postmodern culture. Irony, having a comic, satirical nature, as a type of trope and satirical technique plays an impor­ tant role in the literary text. Due to irony, the true meaning of the work, the situation is skillfully hidden or contradicts the explicit meaning. Irony as a genre was often used in ideological struggle. However, the phenomenon of irony, undergoing major changes in its evolutionary development, eventually becomes the main feature of postmodern culture.
