Images of bodily objectification in non-classical lyrics

Abstract

The object of research in our article is body images in the lyrics of the non-classical stage of the poetics of artistic modality (in the terminology of S. N. Broitman). The subject of research in this article is a specific way of depicting a lyrical subject and/or a lyrical character, in which his body is experienced (comprehended, evaluated) by himself as something separate, independently existing (or the body of a lyrical character is comprehended by a lyrical subject as something independent in relation to his inner world, "soul"). The article examines various methods of bodily objectification in non-classical lyrics based on the material of a number of lyrical works of the twentieth century. The scientific novelty of the research is determined, firstly, by the insufficient study of the artistic specificity of bodily images in lyrics as a kind of literature in general, secondly, by the lack of clarity of the artistic specificity of bodily images in the lyrics of the non-classical stage of the poetics of artistic modality, and thirdly, by the unexplored phenomenon of bodily objectification in both classical and modern lyrics. As a result of the conducted research, a number of conclusions were made. 1. A common feature of bodily objectification in lyrics (with all the variety of its depiction in specific texts) is the following: the perception by the lyrical subject of his body / the body of the lyrical character as another (related to the outside world) while maintaining an actual connection with him. 2. In the works of non-classical lyrics, two main variants of the image of bodily objectification are distinguished: a) in the image of a lyrical subject /character, the body is opposed to the "I"; b) in the image of a lyrical subject / character, the body is opposed to the "I", as well as to a certain extent to the objectified inner principle - the "soul".
