Субъектность и трансгрессивный опыт в русской поэзии 2000–2010-х гг.

Abstract

This article discusses different versions of subjectivity in contemporary Russian poetry. De-subjectification ‒ i.e. the use of different forms of indirect statement – is often deemed to be the most important tendency in modern Russian poetry. This tendency is, meanwhile, put at odds with an attempt to preserve a lyrical “ego” as the carrier of catastrophic, transgressive experience. In this context, to be the subject means to experience painful metamorphoses; to claim to be in the act of transgression; to transition through the limit of trauma and pain. This article identifies some aspects and strains of such subjectivity: the “constructive,” which creates the illusion of a conventional “masked” subject; the “orphic,” which implies reference to the fragmentary nature of the “ego” and the value of madness in poetic experience; and the “parodic,” which combines intense painful experiences with an ironic attitude towards suffering. All these variants consolidate the multidimensionality of the world and the interpretation of the “wound” as the “eye,” which allow us to establish new cause and effect relationships.
