Армянский текст: стихи и проза

Abstract

The article continues the analysis of the Armenian text — the phenomenon of Russian culture and literature, which we presented in the previous article “The Armenian text: the Children of Job” (Polylinguality and Transcultural Practices. 2022. No. 3). The algorithm for analyzing the Armenian text is presented on the basis of prose texts of the last third of the 20th century (and a dotted line of the 21st), as well as poetic texts of modern poets (Liana Shahverdyan, Maxim Amelin, Alessio Gaspari, Georgy Kubatyan). The article examines the patterns associated with the key names, attributes and space of the Armenian picture of the world — as it develops in Russian literary reception. These are such patterns as Ararat, Sevan, sea, lavash, Armenian patio. Hrant Matevosyan. We offer a new pattern of the Armenian text — the personality and creativity of G. Kubatyan. The study is an attempt to oppose the Armenian text to a simple mention of Armenian attributes in literature. The author also offers an indispensable “ingredient” for the emergence of a local text as such, in particular, an Armenian one. The hierarchy between verses and prose in the process of the birth of a local text is indicated, albeit controversial.
