Поиски новых ритмико-звуковых форм русского стихосложения в эпоху модернизма: от предсимволизма к конструктивизму

Abstract

The paper analyses the theoretical declarations and artistic innovations made by Russian modernist poets who carried out the versification reform at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. Metric-rhythmic and phonetic experiments turned out to be a priority for poets, thus, the aim of the study is to comprehend their versification diversity and artistic orientation. The creative search for new verse forms was of an acutely polemic nature, therefore, the scientific novelty of the study lies in a comprehensive consideration of the aesthetic intentions of pre-symbolists, symbolists, acmeists, futurists, imaginists, expressionists, formlibrists, neoclassicists, constructivists. As a result, it becomes obvious that the spread of innovative phonostylistic modifications and the establishment of non-classical metric-rhythmic varieties in the poetry of the Silver Age were aimed not only at creating a new art, but also at forming a new worldview and a new aesthetic consciousness of contemporaries. Actualising the problem of expressive possibilities of literature in the 1880s-1920s led to the revival of the acoustic existence of poetic works – in the struggle for the life-building future of the poetic word, the need for a synthesis of arts that would correlate with the deep processes of synaesthetic perception and creative thinking became more pronounced than ever before.
