LITERARY CRITICISM

A.P. CHEKHOV AS A READER

Nikoletic S.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to describe the reading practices of A.P. Chekhov during the formation and development of his writing talent. The research focuses mainly on Chekov’s epistolary heritage from 1876 until 1888. In his correspondence with family, friends, aspiring writers, publishers and well- known figures of Russian culture of the 1870s and 1880s preferences and interests of the writer can be identified in reference to articles, newspapers, magazines and books he liked to read. A wide range of Russian and foreign books and articles that Chekhov read contributed to not only the achievement of literary excellence, but also to the formation of Chekhov as a person. The evolution of Chekhov as a reader from 1876 to 1888 is particularly important for understanding the origins of the poetic style of his prosaic and dramatic works.

LYRICS OF “THE INNER VOICE” IN THE MODERN LITERATURE

Meskin V.A., Zinurova E.A.

Abstract

The authors analyze the Russian modern poetry and note the substantial changes in the poetics - the genre instability, new trends of the sound arrangement, and the obvious changes in certain lexical and semantic ranks. The hypothesis of lyrics monologization occupies an important place in the article. It implies a reduction of colloquial style of speech, a tangible transition of lyrics to the nonverbal level. In particular, the authors conclude that that author’s identity in the modern poetry changes, and consequently the problems, which poets set themselves, change too. The author’s reasoning and conclusions are based on analytical publications of the recent years and accessing the works of famous and little - known modern poets.

CONTEMPORARY RUSSIAN HISTORICAL PROSE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE LITERARY PROCESS OF 2000-2010th

Soldatkina Y.V.

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to identify the main principles of creation of the modern historical fiction and to determine the reasons for its popularity. In the course of the current study, the following features of modern Russian historical prose were noted: non-realistic depictions of historical events and historical figures, the shift of the narrative towards the sphere of private life and reinforcing the entertainment element. Writers are paying more attention to recreating the historical flavor, reflecting the consciousness of the era. The historico-philosophical prose of V. Aksenov and E. Vodolazkin is fundamentally different: they bring back to the historical prose its core values, philosophical and social categories, which are equally important for the past eras as well modern times. In general, the modern historical fiction, if analyzed systematically, reflects the leading artistic trends of the literary process of 2000-2010th: a dialogue with mass culture and the search for a new narrative style.

Miloslavskaya Z.A.

Abstract

This paper considers the process of shaping the modern multifunctional media text in the information space of convergent media. An assumption is made that the global media text, while providing unique capability of rapid and detailed news coverage, may be potentially harmful for the audience. The major threats are specific addictions such as the internet addiction and PR addiction, mentally traumatic situations, and even health damaging and life threatening conditions. These threats may be caused by infrequent and incorrect moderation and fact checking. Recent initiatives by the State aimed at regulating the web may be considered as evidence of threats coming from certain forms of media text.

Sheveleva E.A.

Abstract

The article analyzes the way of formation and development of the means of artistic expression of radio, examines the specifics of their impact on the listener. The last large-scale study of this topic was made by A.A. Sheryl. The results are reflected in the number of essays named “The Audio - culture of the XXth century”, which were published in 2004. The modern way of broadcasting differs from the one we had in 2000s. New trends, such as convergence, focus on social media sources, have radically changed the traditional genres and forms of the media industry sector. For the sake of efficiency less attention is paid to the proper, unique sounding of the radio and this, in turn, negatively affects the quality of the materials going on the air.

Baranova E.A.

Abstract

With the development of media convergence process researchers have begun to speak on the modernization of journalism education and the need for training of cross-media trained journalists . However,theorist’s judgments often disagree with the opinions ofJournalism practitioners. Author in 2009-2016 spoke to reporters, editors and top managers of Russian media companies on topics related to the development of convergence process in Russian mass media newsrooms and asked them what skills and competencies modern journalist should have, as well as what is the future of journalism education. In total 40 people from more than 40 Russian media companies were interviewed for these years. This article presents the views of 6 respondents from 6 media companies. Among them are such well-known persons as Pavel Gusev, chief editor and owner of the newspaper “Moskovsky Komsomolets”; Vladimir Taller, president of TVM Group, Academician of the Russian Academy of Radio (RAR).The author first makes an attempt to analyze the issue of journalistic competences in the conditions of media convergence, based on the views of practitioners from different media. We concluded that the common view of many theorists that convergence process is associated with the appearance of cross-media trained journalists and leads to numerous fundamentally new journalism competences does not find its confirmation in practice.
