The text analyses one of the most significant pieces not only in Mykola Khvyl'ovyj works but also in the history of Ukrainian literature and culture. Referring to the body politechnology discourse of Michel Foucalt (from 'Discipline and Punish') and Albert Camus concept of rebellion, the authoress endeavours to prove that Mykola Khvyl'ovyj 'Sanatorijna zona' (The Sanatorium Zone) is not less powerful in the antiutopian detotalitarianism of the individual than Vladimir Nabokov's 'Invitaion to a Beheading'.
