While Cervantes’ protagonist, through his various misadventures, ironically exposed the many maladies of contemporary society, Quichotte’s journey across America, accompanied by his son Sancho, whom he miraculously imagines into existence, also operates as a picaresque narrative that methodically dissects the alarming aberrations of contemporary world order. Taking Quixote’s inability to distinguish between the real and the fictional as his starting point, Rushdie’s text eclectically foregrounds the menacing fissures of a social order where a rampant disregard for facts also becomes a platform for widespread regression into atavistic atrocities. The proposed paper will focus on such issues and more in order to highlight how the famed Man of La Mancha continues to operate as a relevant figure even within the fractious contradictions of our times.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Последний роман Салмана Рушди «Кихот», вдохновленный «Дон Кихотом» Сервантеса, посвящен путешествию вымышленного персонажа по имени Исмаил Смайл, который принимает имя Кихот, когда отправляется в фантастическое путешествие по Америке, чтобы завоевать сердце знаменитого актера и ведущего ток-шоу Сальма Р., поскольку его восприятие реальности было затуманено постоянным погружением в телевизионные шоу точно так же, как разум дона Сервантеса был затуманен его увлечением рыцарскими романами. В то время как главный герой Сервантеса своими различными злоключениями иронически обнажил многие недуги современного общества, путешествие Кихота по Америке в сопровождении сына Санчо, существование которого он чудесным образом воображает, также действует как плутовское повествование, методично анализирующее тревожные заблуждения общества, современный мировой порядок. Взяв за отправную точку неспособность Кихота различать реальное и вымышленное, Рушди эклектично выдвигает на первый план угрожающие трещины социального порядка, где безудержное игнорирование фактов также становится платформой для повсеместного регресса к атавистическим злодеяниям. Предлагаемый текст посвящен этим и другим вопросам, чтобы подчеркнуть, как знаменитый Человек из Ламанчи продолжает действовать как актуальная фигура даже в условиях прихотливых противоречий нашего времени.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>picaresque</kwd><kwd>postmodern</kwd><kwd>atavism</kwd><kwd>racism</kwd><kwd>xenophobia</kwd><kwd>plurality</kwd><kwd>self-reflexive</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>плутовской роман</kwd><kwd>постмодернизм</kwd><kwd>атавизм</kwd><kwd>расизм</kwd><kwd>ксенофобия</kwd><kwd>плюрализм</kwd><kwd>саморефлексия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Barthes, R.
