AKHMATOVA’S BOOK OF VERSES «VECHER» THROUGHOUT OF TIME: CYCLIC CONSISTENCY AND TEXTOLOGICAL PARADOXES

Kikhney L.G.

Abstract

First Akhmatova’s book of verses “Vecher” (1912) is studied as a structural and semantic unit, the poet’s methods that determine the unity are analyzed. We track techniques by which semantic perception of “Vecher” as metacycle was consequentially renewed during the period of its “lethic” existence in the form of separate section in Akhmatova’s lifetime poetry collections.We state that some verses, which appeared within “Vecher” section in late collections in fact were created by Akhmatova in 1940s - 1950s. For one reason or another these verses couldn’t be put into later sections with later dates, so this strategy enabled them to get their place in a collection at all. “Aging” dates and mixing 1940s -verses with former ones took place due to Akhmatova’s frame of mind of those days; it allowed to overcome censorship as well. We prove that these verses along with new editions of “old” verses function as semantic anchors, mark out and link some key motives, that is why Akhmatova often set them to a “strong position” (for example, let them open a section or a collection).

N. GUMILEV - THE TRANSLATOR AND THE POPULARIZER OF THE ENGLISH LAKE SCHOOL OF POETRY

Raskina E.Y., Ustinovskaya A.A.

Abstract

The article looks upon the impact that the Lake school of English romanticism produced on N.Gumilev’s poetic work. It is brought to light that the great poet of the Silver Age in Russia N. Gumilev interpreted many original poetic images in his own peculiar mode, as well as symbols and motives of poetic prose created by famous poets of the Lake school of English. The Lake school greatly influenced the works of poets working closely with N.S. Gumilev, such as I.V. Odoevzeva, G.V. Ivanov, N.A. Ozup. In particular, the poem ‘ Christabel’ by S.T. Coleridge translated by G.V. Ivanov inspired I. Odoevzeva when writing her poem ‘Moon poem’. It is also stated that the true spirit of the Lake school of English poetry in N. Gumilev’s works is closely connected with the poet’s admiration for druidizm idiology shared by ancient Celtic tribes and “neodruidizm” of modern “father of acmeism” W.B. Yeats.

SONNETS OF MAKSIM BAHDANOVICH

Fedotov O.I., Shelemova A.O.

Abstract

In article original sonnets of Maxim Bogdanovich - five poems in the Belarusian language and one - in Russian are analyzed. The only Russian sonnet gravitates to a genre kind of “the sonnet about sonnets”. Its purpose - to comprehend from within a genre and strophe form, new to the Belarusian poetry. The Belarusian sonnets represent five main thematic vectors of poetry of Bogdanovich: civil pathos, admiration of the native nature, motive “poet and poetry”, “eternal” subject of love and updating of urbanism. Implementation of the creative plan directed on enrichment of native literature by traditions of classical art systems led to very uncommon results in poetic searches of Maxim Bogdanovich who was successfully introducing “eternal” subjects and universal genre and strophe forms in “yoingslavic” poetry.

THE PROBLEM OFTIMEIN THE NOVELL “HERITAGE” BY OSIB DYMOV

Verkhovykh I.A.

Abstract

The article is about philosophic reflection and perception of three timedimensions “past-present-future” in a story written by unfamiliar writer Osip Dymov. The author points out how Dymov conveys the diversity of his contemporaries’ opinions through the text’s poetics, how he shows their ambiguous attitude towards the burden of the past, whether it is worth taking history away from a shabby suitcase and packing it to a new, shiny one. Thorough poetic analysis of Dymov’s short story “Heritage”not only provides an opportunity to trace back how Dymov has created his own concept of the interconnection between space, matter and the three time dimensions “past-present-future”, but it is also shows a severe difficulty of this decision making process.

THE STALIN’S MITH: OFFICIAL IMAGE OF THE LEADER AT THE LITERATURE OF SOCIALIST REALISM

Papadopoulou I.

Abstract

The article explores the construction and the representation of the portrait of the leader in the Soviet literature of the Stalin era. The origins of the official image of Stalin are examined under the prism of the analysis of the modern mythologizing, as it has been described by Roland Barthes. Furthermore, we explore some of the peculiarities of the Soviet literature in the construction and strengthening of the personality cult, where the method of socialist realism has gained the function of a social institution, which, like the myth, re-creates the reality, stating that “beautiful - this is our life.”The article is written with the purpose of systematizing what has already been examined by other researchers and has a total basis, establishingthe interrelation between the factors of the field of literature with the field of ideology and the field of power.

METANOVEL OF A. BITOV “THE TEACHER OF SYMMETRY”: FROM CHAOS TO THE METANARRATIVE

Magly A.D.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the novel “the Teacher of Symmetry” written by A. Bitov: its plot, composition, character, idea-thematic levels. The first publication of short stories of the novel dates 1987. In the 70s of XX-th century scientists constructed a “unified field theory” and its theory of symmetry. The article considers the influence of this theory of symmetry on the structure and problematics of the A. Bitov’ novel, a systematic approach is used, that gives the opportunity to analyse this novel as a single unified text, not only the identification of allusions and postmodern strategies of playing with the word. The creative process, the act of creation, and reflective creative consciousness become the main subjects of research in the metanovel of A. Bitov. As a result of the analysis the conclusions are drawn about the genre variety of this novel as “a novel about the artist”, “a novel of creation” and about the attribution of this text to the metanarrative.

Selemeneva M.V.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the poetics of the incarnation of the image of Moscow in the Russian literature of the beginning of the XXI century based on prose by Sergei Shargunov, Roman Senchin, Olga Slavnikova. The author refers to the history of the formation of the “Moscow text” and reveals in prose by contemporary authors as following the tradition of the image of Moscow as the preference of new artistic practices, including the decline in the status of traditional sacred loci of the “Moscow text”, the dominance of urban images, devoid of historical and cultural significance, the image of Moscow as semiotic empty space. The author analyzes the artistic conception of the hero of the “Moscow text” - the righteous and wanderer by S. A. Shargunov, the layman, indifferent to everything that is not the scope of his personal well-being by R. V. Senchin and the careerist, developing the idea of Dostoevsky’s “the underground man” by O. A. Slavnikova. The author comes to the conclusion that in the “Moscow text” of the twenty-first century, the capital has become a city of career, in the gallery leading characters took the place of heroes-ordinary people and heroes-careerists, converging “Moscow” and “St. Petersburg” local texts of Russian literature in the spirit of the worldwide trend towards unification and standardization of life of big cities.

ROMANTICISM SEMANTICS FIELD AT RUSSIAN POSTSOVIET POETRY

Ankudinov K.N.

Abstract

The article reveals some specific features of the Soviet and Post-soviet romanticism in poetry. One of them is so called “romanticism after romanticism”, which has been appeared on the bases of romantic narrative strategy. Post-soviet romanticism differs from the “Soviet romanticism”, because bears in itself romantic semantic, transmitted by global “mass culture” of the XX and XXI centuries. The attributes of this field are semiotic emblems-marks (images), romantic characters, for example, “wolf”, “crow”. They amplify the romantic narrative of authors and romantic essential features at the texts of these authors. This process is illustrated by examples from the poems of famous poets (Marina Strukova, Natalya Tochilnikova, Aleksandr Rodimtzev, Nikolay Redkin). The neoromantic literature is esthetically repressed by experts. This is supposed to be an error, because the existence of romantic semantic is an objective phenomenon. Arguments of the “OPOYAZ” philologists (Yuriy Tynyanov) are considered to be a bases to protect this point of vew.

Kurilov A.E.

Abstract

The article is based on the relevant for modern humane studies noosphere approach. Author offers for the first time a new object of inquiry - news field, which is regarded as a complex information and communicative phenomenon. News field accumulates information about past events in the form of rigidly structured messages, building them into its own structure, which author describes as a right pyramid. Important news messages are assembled on the top of the pyramid, the less important - in its middle section and the background is contained at the bottom. Pyramid structures of the message and the news field are mutually determinant. Horizontal structure of the field is represented by the “news chains” - separate news stories. News fields have their own hierarchy, where the higher field selects and structures information from the lower.
