Abstract
The authors of this article offer a historical contextualization of the conceptualisation of aviation in the works of Bulgarian poet Elisaveta Bagriana; they devote special attention to its role in Bulgarian literature and culture of the 1930s to 1950s. Central to the interpretation of the theme of aviation in the works of Bagriana are: 1) the glorification of aviation in the service of political conjuncture (in the 1938 poem dedicated to the royal son-aviator, and in the 1953 Airplane to Moscow); and: 2) a conceptualisation of aviation in accordance with contemporary European philosophical and cultural ideas (opposing technical means of communication to the forces of nature; pleas for airplanes as a means of overcoming time, space and human boundaries to achieve freedom from gravity and all earthly connections).
