СЕРЕБРЯНЫЙ ВЕК КАК СОЦИАЛЬНО- ИСТОРИЧЕСКАЯ ЭПОХА И КУЛЬТУРНО-ИСТОРИЧЕСКИЙ ТИП

Abstract

The article focuses on the spatio-temporal boundaries of Silver Age and the status of the culture formed in its space. The author considers Silver Age Culture shouldn’t be associated only with defined spatio-temporal coordinates and the socio-historical epoch of the last decade of 19th century and first two or three decades of the 20th century. The natural course of development of this culture, its historical life as a peculiar cultural unity was violently interrupted, but wasn’t stopped completely. Silver Age Culture breaks the socio-historical barriers, and the limits of the single, empirically given spatio-temporal continuum. Life of Silver Age Culture didn’t stop with the end of the sociohistorical epoch. The author concludes that Silver Age is a special culturalhistorical type, with its peculiar principles of creative life, specific way of thinking and being of personality. Being expressed in this typological modus, Silver Age Culture isn’t a local culture, strictly limited time frame of a certain historical epoch. We may find a distinct manifestation of this cultural-historical type much later and outside Russia and even outside European continent.
