Поэзия как внутренняя речь. Борис Пастернак в интерпретации Владимира Библера

Abstract

The article focuses on the concept of inner speech as it was first elaborated by Lev Vygotsky and then taken up by Vladimir Bibler in his analysis of Boris Pasternak's poetry. The first part of the article aims at reconstructing the psychological background of this concept in Vygotsky's theory of speech, - especially as regards its mediating role. The second part addresses Bibler's assertion that both philosophy and poetry employ inner speech to produce meaning (through concepts and words/sounds, respectively). By characterizing Pasternak's early poetry as a form of inner speech, Bibler highlights the immediate connection between his primitive sensible and sensuous experiences and their initial expression in poetic words. In conclusion, it is argued that the concept of inner speech in Pasternak's poetry enhances the understanding of the “metonymous hero” concept introduced by Roman Jakobson and Michel Aucouturier in their works on Pasternak. While emphasizing metonymic structures in Pasternak's poetry foregrounds the notion of object-oriented poetry, Bibler's conceptual perspective, on the contrary, seems to rehabilitate the instance of the subject.
