Hoffmannian Traditions in David Lynch's TV series “Twin Peaks”

The article examines the refraction of Hoffmann's poetics in cinema by the example of D. Lynch's TV series “Twin Peaks”. It is argued that the Hoffmann tradition, which has found steady development in world literature, with the advent of cinema as an art form finds continuation in the film industry. Based on the methodology of the Hoffmann complex, the article highlights the features of Hoffmann poetics in D. Lynch's series and their role in revealing the postmodern concept of inevitable evil (the increase of entropy and chaos in modern society through modern media). The results of the study prove the presence of the Hoffmann intertext and its transformation in D. Lynch's TV series “Twin Peaks”.
