Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The article provides a complex linguistic and stylistic analysis of intermedia elements in Iurii Izdryk's poetry, particularly in his collection «Calendar of Love». The study focuses on identifying and interpreting vocabulary related to various types of art that has symbolic and metaphorical meaning. Musical vocabulary (names of genres, instruments, composers) is used to create rhythm, convey emotional states, and express philosophical ideas. It helps the author reflect the flow of time and create syncretic images that combine sound and visual elements. The names of musical groups and performers, such as Pink Floyd or Sting, create cultural allusions, expanding the context of the text. Cinematic vocabulary serves as the basis for a metaphorical understanding of life as a movie. Terms associated with cinema emphasize the dynamics, irreversibility of events, and inevitability of the finale, transforming existence into a kind of cinematic production. Architectural vocabulary is used to model the inner world of the lyrical hero and his relationship with the external environment. Images of buildings symbolize both isolation and the desire to overcome obstacles and establish connections. The vocabulary of visual art (color, watercolor, artists' names) is used to create visual images that help convey mood and emotion. Through allusions to the works of Bruegel or Bosch, the author depicts a world filled with details, chaos, or, conversely, harmony. Choreographic concepts (dance, tango) are metaphors for describing the cyclical nature of life and passionate relationships, emphasizing their emotional and physical nature. In general, it has been proven that intermediality is a stylistic technique used by Iurii Izdryk, allowing the author to comprehend reality by combining different types of art in a textual space.
