Creative Work of A. N. Vertinsky in the Context of the “Silver Age” Cultural Epoch as a Laminar Culture

Abstract

On the basis of A. N. Vertinsky’s creative work - a precedent phenomenon of the “Silver Age” Epoch - the article analyzes key features of this cultural ontology, both exceptionally culturological and philosophical ones (perception of death, ratio of elite and mass, ethic and esthetic problems, etc.). Having analyzed the synchronous and diachronous cultural dynamics, the authors build an original conception of cultural ontologies allowing to draw some practically significant conclusions. Also, in the context of the research, the problems of disposition “the Ego - the Other” are investigated, as well as the questions of inter-stratum cultural syncretism and intertextual interactions.
