Abstract
The article presented and analyzed samples of poetry, vividly implementing the principles of light, shadow and darkness. The figurative-conceptual system of the text (lyrical “I” and “Other”) is considered through the principles of light and darkness. The principles of light and darkness, being a pre-basis for the formation in the poem of the lyrical “I” and “The Other”, determine the properties of the one and the other at the same time: both “I” and “The Other” are based on the same correlation of these principle. The principle of light is explicated in the images of such phenomena as daytime, beingness, personalization of “I”, another character and the concreteness / realism of the character and the artistic world, and the principle of darkness – in the images of night or transitional time of day, darkness, sleep or intoxication, water elements or fog, secrecy, fading processes of life, stopping the movement or periodic / circular movement, the feeling of love or death, weak personalization of the lyrical “I”, often through the “Other”. In the poetry of the shadow, the high personalization of “I” and the visibility, concreteness of the surrounding space remain, however, the value of “I” or “Other” proportionally increases in the ratio of “I-Other”, but attributes of the principle of darkness appear – more chamber, shadow space or evening-night time of day, slowness or acceleration of time, silence, water element, fog, sleep, sad thoughts, the theme of love or death. As a model of the poetry of light, the poetry of A.S. Pushkin, poetry of the shadow – I.S. Turgenev, and the poetry of darkness – are separate texts of postmodern literature (V. Polozkova, B. Grebenshchikov, G. Samoilov (Agatha Christie group), etc.). Key words: light, shadow, darkness, A.S. Pushkin, I.S. Turgenev, postmodernism.
