| Popis: | У статті виділено складники й проаналізовано особливості авторського бачення світу й людини в ньому на матеріалі творів широкого естетичного спектра, що дозволило уточнити, поглибити напрацювання попередників щодо специфіки оприявнення М. Гоголем власних філософських, культурологічних, мистецьких пріоритетів – онтологічних насамперед – у розумінні процесів взаємодії, взаємовпливу в дихотоміях (або й антиноміях) Я / Я, Я / Інший, Я /Світ. Виходячи з такого завдання, мета статті й полягала в тому, щоб, використавши відому трирівневу модель будови універсуму, дослідити особливості її художнього втілення на прикладі циклу «Вечори на хуторі поблизу Диканьки». Зроблено висновок про подальший аналіз прози М. Гоголя в запропонованому ракурсі – варіативність моделювання світобудови в авторській свідомості, а саме: виходи на архетипні первні, прочитування текстів як культурних моделей. The paper presents an attempt to mark and analyse the peculiarities of the author’s vision of the world and a man in it on the basis of works of a broad aesthetic spectrum, which made it possible to clarify, deepen the work of the predecessors regarding the specificity of the expression of M. Gogol’s own philosophical, cultural and artistic priorities – first of all, ontological ones – in the understanding of processes of interaction, mutual influence in dichotomies (or antinomies) I–I, I–the Other, I – the World. According to the task, the purpose of the paper was to use the well-known three-tier model of the universe structure, which objectively reflects simultaneously both materialistic and idealistic worldviews, to explore its artistic embodiment using the example of the famous collection of short stories «Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka».The collection was considered the unity of the creature and shape-forming components, which together create the second reality – an individual model of the space. Modified levels were analysed in the paper, taking into account the priority artistic task, which, in the opinion of the author of the study, is in substantiating by the writer of the postulate of the unity, the indivisibility of the world, whose wealth is in its diversity. Therefore, it was a synthesis of eternal antinomies presented by M. Gogol as a parabolic motion with variable vertices: absolute top and absolute bottom. At the same time, the harmony of the universe appears in the projection to a disharmonious middle space – a human one, because of the characters’ dissonances, one-sided (predominantly materialistic) perceptions of eternal categories (ideas) that are often negatively transformed under the influence of social priorities, socially hierarchical morality, are catalysts of levelling mental processes , as a result of which a person loses their inner integrity, turning into a being that is in the triad of existence – life – being is forever in the sphere of influence of its first element.A separate aspect of the study is the figurative means by which the author embodied his intention to simulate the existential axis.First of all, it is singled out as a cross-cutting method for the synthesis of contrast and unity in the process of creating of the worlds of Heaven and Chaos, the acceptance of the oxymoronism of the coexistence of heroism and connectivity, sacrifice, and egocentrism as characteristic markers. In addition, such innovations of M. Gogol, as the use of the reception of mirror in the display of spatial loci and topos, mosaic plurality of creating a person’s portrait, are reviewed. The role of antinomies of symbolization/deaesthetization, real/irreal, gradation (ascending and pointe) in comprehension of the prospects of humanization of the human nature is emphasized. A conclusion on the further analysis of M. Gogol’s prose in the proposed perspective is made: the variability of the modelling of the universe in the author’s consciousness, namely: outputs on archetypal primers, reading texts as a cultural model. |
