LINGUOIMAGOLOGICAL RECEPTION OF THE FIGURE OF A. KRYMSKYI IN DOCUMENTARY FILM TEXT

Abstract

The article proposes the author’s linguoimological reception of the figure of Ahatanhel Krymskyi in documentary media products “Crimean tome” (2013), “Ahatanhel Krymskyi. Writing history” (2018), “Ahatanhel Krymskyi. From memories of a true friend” (2021). The key concepts of linguoimagology – the self-image (the image of “one’s own”) and the hetero-image (the image of “others”) – are the basis of linguistic imagological interpretation of the text and highlight the specifics of the linguistic picture of the human world. In the researched media products we record purposeful attempts of documentary authors to project the image of Ahatanhel Krymskyi on the identification of self-image (image of one’s own) and hetero-image (image of another). Note that in the gradual structure of the heteroimage, in contrast to the traditional for Ukrainians fear and caution in relation to “foreign”, for a prominent scientist dominates the segment of “other”, interaction with which – new opportunities, so Krymskyi always interested multicultural dialogue – scientific, artistic, everyday. The creators of image media products use as a powerful axiological and ideological tool the deliberately chosen Ukrainocentrism of the genius orientalist against the background of his non-Ukrainian origin. Linguoimagological reception of the figure of Ahatanhel Krymskyi in documentaries reveals as yet unexplored aspects of the worldview and scientific universalism of the scientist, opens new perspectives for linguistic and scientific studies.
