The peculiarities of the storing and mediating of information can be characterized using the parameters of reflection capacity, its specifics and development (human and social psychology, and education theory), via the transmission and feedback mechanisms of information (informatics), using the terms for guiding, influencing and manipulating society (management theory, political science, advertising), in an historic-cultural manner, etc. In this monograph, the author examines the storing and mediating mechanisms of information as intellect-based, sign-creating algorithms - i.e. formal entities, which can be interpreted as universals.

Because of his rejection of socio-political engagement, Vladimir Nabokov is often regarded as a virtuouso artist of the ivory-tower variety, aloof from the contemporary march of the minds. Marina Grishakova's book, however, points to the relationship between his narrative techniques and some of the scientific, metaphysical, and ethical ideas on the inner agenda of the twentieth century. It connects Nabokov's handling of time, space, and perspective in his fiction with the philosophical models constructed by his contemporaries, also showing in what ways he may have been ahead of his time.
In order to analyze the cognitive models constructed in fiction and cinema, the book thoughtfully and confidently combines ideas of Russian Formalism and the Tartu-school literary theory with those of French and Anglophone classical and post-classical narratology. It also fruitfully enlists archival sources and so far undiscussed intertextual links in order to situate Nabokov's narratives in the history of ideas.
