РОЛЬ ЧЁРТА В ДЕТЕКТИВНОМ РАССЛЕДОВАНИИ: «БРАТЬЯ КАРАМАЗОВЫ» И СЕРИАЛ «ЛЮЦИФЕР» НЕТФЛИКСА

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the analysis of similar images of the traits in Dostoevsky's novel ''The Brothers Karamazov'' and in Fox – Netflix's series ''Lucifer''. At the same time, the elements that make up the detective layer of the verbal and the visual work are demonstrated. The basis for comparing the products of high and mass culture is created not only by the forms of murder investigations, but also by their transformation into self-reflection. Devilish figures in both cases become humanized, which allows to look at them from a new point of view. They are hereby considered in the context of the conceptualization of sinfulness, the commission of a crime. The author of the paper also touches upon both the issue of moving the fantastic layer into reality, and the presentation of deep philosophical problems in the form of criminal investigation. It turns out that both in a literary work and in a television / streaming production, the techniques of the detective novel are promoted to the background due to the predominance of Christian ideology and creative poetization.
