ВАРИАЦИИ МИМЕСИСА В ПОЭТИЧЕСКОЙ КНИГЕ А. ШАЦКОВА «СКАЗЫ КУЛИКОВА ПОЛЯ»

Abstract

The object of the article is mimesis in art. The subject of the research is variations of mimesis in modern poetry. The material for the article is a new book of poems “Kulikovo Field Tales” by A. Shatskov. The focus of cultural and philosophical analysis is the interrelation of phenomenal and noumenal, rational and pre-rational in art. Much attention is paid to the problem of relationship between mimesis and cultural entelechy. Mimesis is understood as sacral recollection of other epochs and cultures by the wordsmith. Mimesis is described as an artistic practice. The research methodology is mainly represented by the holistic ontological-hermeneutic analysis of the modern poet’s book, aimed at highlighting the cultural potential of the mimesis problem in the digital epoch, which makes it possible to describe the importance of the poetic word for a Russian from the cultural-philosophical and ontological position, to deepen the comprehension of spiritual life of the literary artist. Much attention is given to the architectonics of the book of poetry, to the three-part composition designed according to the laws of man’s cosmic life cycle: from childhood to the epitome of life. The work results may be of interest to literary historians who include literature in the space of a broad dialogue of cultures; the book can also be useful in courses on cultural studies and Russian philosophy.
