АРХЕТИПИ РАДЯНСЬКОЇ КУЛЬТУРИ ТА ЇХ ВІДОБРАЖЕННЯ В ОПЕРІ С. С. ПРОКОФ’ЄВА «ПОВІСТЬ ПРО СПРАВЖНЮ ЛЮДИНУ»

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to reveal the sacred-spiritual and mythopoetic origins of the last opera by S. S. Prokofiev, correlated with the archetypes of Soviet culture. The methodology of the work is based on the intonational concept of music in the perspective of intonational-stylistic, etymological analysis, inherited from B. Asafiev and his followers, as well as on interdisciplinary and historical-cultural approaches. The latter allow us to reveal the spiritual and semantic and style peculiarities of Soviet culture and music of the first half of the 20th century. And to isolate it from the pan-European cultural area in the period mentioned. The scientific novelty of the work is to expand the understanding of the poetics of the musical theater of S. S. Prokofiev, in particular the opera «The Story of a Real Man», which is one of the show and non-ordinary musical «documents» of the 1940 and, at the same time, demonstrating a deep connection with the spiritual Genesis of national culture. Conclusions. «The Story of a Real Man» by S. S. Prokofiev demonstrates genre universalism, within the framework of which the «documentalism» of the events of the war years is associated with the hagiographic and hagiographic quality of their artistic fixation, appealing to the basic archetypes of «Soviet hagiography».
