Abstract
The articleʼs relevance lies in the need to understand the peculiarities of narrativity in essays. The article is written within the scope of narratology as one of the most relevant disciplines in modern philology, narrative approach to communicative strategies in essay is used. The articleʼs goal is to introduce and argumentate the concept “exogynarrator”, narrative instance in essay as a discursive practice. As a result of the research, it is concluded that ‘narrator’ as a traditional category in epic works, can be applied to a writerʼs essay conventionally: in the essay there is no actual story or narration, etc., except that it may be possible if narration turns into mediatation. It is proven that the process of meditation and the process of narration in an essay become a single entitiy. The bearer of these actions is the narrator, who in the essay acquires features of a thinker or turns into him. The introduced concept is illustrated based on the essays written by Ukrainian author S. Protsiuk.
