INTERACTION BETWEEN VERBAL AND VISUAL IN THE TEXTS OF GROUP «41˚»

Abstract

The article analyses the practices of text visualization in the works by the «41˚» group. It is suggested that visual devices play an essential role not only as the complements to the verbal component of a text, but also as the basis for verbalisation per se. In the texts, the combination of these aspects is realised through two strategies: typographic (I. Terentiev and I. Zdanevich), and handwritten (A. Kruchyonykh). The practice of text visualization is closely related to the group’s theoretical pursuits in the sphere of language.
