Lyric-Philosophical Metatextuality in the Poetry of B. Okudzhava
https://doi.org/10.18384/2949-5008-2024-1-95-105
Abstract
Aim. To identify the origin of dominant philosophems in the context of the poet’s entire work and to consider the poetry of B. Okudzhava as an aesthetic and philosophical phenomenon.
Methodology. For a comprehensive identification of the artistic and philosophical integrity of B. Okudzhava's poetry, the main leitmotif lines in hermeneutical perspective are highlighted.
Results. For the first time, the role of the ellipsis sign in the title-final complex of a number of poems is explained. The ellipsis precedes the verbal text as a meta element and links individual poems into a general meaningful and multifaceted discourse. The authors identify the unrealistic features of poetics and mythopoetics as determinant in the construction of the author’s neo-myth. The specific perception of the Caucasus in the lyrical plots of B. Okudzhava and his “Arbat text” are aligned in the cosmogonic key of a joint meal.
Research implications. The introduced concept of lyric-philosophical metatextuality allows to conduct literary analysis of poetic works from the perspective of genre-generic convergence.
