Ontologization of the category of Emptiness in Philosophy, aesthetics and Poetics of the literature of Russian Postmodernism
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The purpose of the study is to identify the causes and ways of ontologizing the category of Emptiness in philosophy, aesthetics and poetics of the literature of Russian postmodernism. The article substantiates the thesis of rethinking the concept of Nothingness and ontologizing the category of Emptiness in the theory and artistic practice of postmodernism. It is argued that the category of Emptiness manifests itself in a postmodern text: in the denial of reference and overcoming the structurality of the modeled artistic world; in a new type of chronotope as a reflection of texts accumulated in culture in the mind of the author and/or hero; in the principles of plot-compositional organization and creation of images of the characters of the work. Using the example of V. Pelevin's works, a change in the methods of embodying the category of Emptiness in a postmodern text is shown. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time it revealed the influence of the category of Emptiness on the artistic strategies of postmodernism. As a result of the study, it was found that the category of Emptiness as a result of rethinking the "Great Nothingness" of the previous culture in the philosophy and aesthetics of postmodernism is a factor in the poetics of the postmodern art world, ensuring its integrity.
