Abstract
In the following article, difficulties connected with the diversity of scientific approaches to the study of confession in different discourses (religious, legal, psychoanalytical, etc.) are discussed. The article deals with the difficulties associated with the diversity of scientific approaches to the study of confession in different discourses (religious, legal, psychoanalytic, etc.). It is stated that a theoretical understanding of literary (fictional) confession is conducted regarding already existing ideas about its Christian origins and circular transformations in European culture (from Augustine to Rousseau). The analysis of the structural and content features of literary confession with the support of M. M. Bakhtin’s aesthetics of verbal creation allows us to draw a line between the literary and the live word, including pseudo-confessional texts of the 19th and 21st centuries. It is confirmed that the concrete forms of embodiment of artistic confession (considering their diffuseness, generic specificity, and dependence on the author's individuality) resist typological study and require priority comprehension from the point of view of historical poetics. In conclusion, the groundlessness of the literary identification of confession with confessionalism is proved.
