Abstract

The article deals in problem with constructing of space of fictional world in texts of collective poems Jolly Cemetery by Vasyl Stus (1971), and some parameters of poetics of the space modeling (imagenary, genre, composition). Radical points of interest to topography of space and local specifics of territories are: total elimination of space markers for creating mythical universal (here and everywhere) and detailed presentation of landscape or interier in some autobiographycal poems. As result of research three types of space modeling are describes. The first model is one-dimensional cosmos of absurd soviet every-day life described in narrative poetry. The second ones proposes two-dimensional world in texts of accumulative composition: physical space of human existence (as variant of it: human body/soul) and inner space of meditation, or memoirs of bygone days, or visions and dreams. Sometimes accumulative fragments are constructed to be a separate locus full of things and inhabitants (subterranian reservuar). Their forms are allegorical emblems or narrative episodes on private, political or hystorical motifs. The third model is metaphysical poetic proposition of configuration of three locis planis (three worlds) and man’s ability to move from one to another. Symbol of jolly cemetery and status of dead person is correspondent with one-dimentional world of soviet peoples’ life; and overcoming repressions and control by power authority, preserving of self and human reactions are related with two other space models.
