The article deals with the cultural aspects of the "zhlobness" phenomenon and its trickster essence in contemporary fine arts, literature and music. Despite the relevance of these issues, they still remain under-researched, although they are of great importance to the acute problem of spreading of zhlobness within all strata of society, its influence on the contemporary Ukrainian culture (popularization of mass art, formation of the zhlobbish model of behavior, heroization of an antihero). It is revealed that the phenomenon of "zhlobness" is a global one, common to almost all world cultures. Still, it has some national characteristics. The history of emergence of "zhlob-art" artistic movement through the prism of trickster features has been examined and its place in contemporary art has been revealed. The influence of creativity of the "zhlob"-artists on the formation of ideologically similar artistic groups and associations has been outlined. The trickster features of the phenomenon of zhlobness in modern Ukrainian popular and professional music, in particular, in S. Lunev's opera Moscow-Petushki have been investigated. Common features of Soviet zhlobness have been revealed: marginality, mediation, liminality, laughing nature, and "turning" the high and the low upside down. The characteristic trickster features of the phenomenon of zhlobness and their reflection in contemporary Ukrainian art have been justified. It has been emphasized that zhlobness is common to all strata of society and is a leverage of influence over the development of modern culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
