Abstract

The article for the first time distinguishes between the functions of ekphrasis, narrative ekphrasis and metaekphrasis in Russian podcasts about plastic arts on the example of eight episodes dedicated to painters and architects. Episodes of podcasts “Art for Guys”, “Talk About Art”, “About History and Art. Project YaAndArt”, “Walls have ears”, “Art and Facts” have become the empirical material of the research. By reviewing the content of episodes, it is proved that polyfunctionality is inherent in both ekphrasis, including its narrative version, and metaekphrasis. In particular, the examples given in the text of the article illustrate how the problem of limited visuality of audio narratives is solved due to ekphrastic descriptions. It also analyzes the construction of narrative ekphrasis in relation to artifacts with a plot and non-plot basis and indicates the contradiction between the elements of fiction in the speech of the presenters and the verifiability of art history knowledge. Finally, the manifestation of meta-ekphrasis is considered from the point of view of comparing works of art within the same type and between different types, critical interpretation of the author and description of ideological, political-critical, social-constructive contexts.
