{"title":"The presentation of the concept of existential despair in Lermontov's poem “Demon”","authors":"L. Mysovskikh","doi":"10.25587/2782-6635-2024-1-53-58","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25587/2782-6635-2024-1-53-58","url":null,"abstract":"The author of the article believes that the main character in Mikhail Lermontov's poem “Demon” strives to become a part of earthly life, but he understands the objective impossibility of realizing this desire. The contradiction generated by this realization turns into tragic despair, which the founder of existentialism, Soren Kierkegaard, defined as “a disease to death”. As if extrapolating the thought of the founder of existentialism, Lermontov gives the immanence of despair to the main character of his famous poem. The demon wants to reunite with both earth and heaven, hoping to be reborn through love. However, the determinism of his demonic essence prevents the main character of the poem from realizing this aspiration. The rebellious spirit of the Demon, which cannot belong to any of the worlds, reflects the Russian intelligentsia of that period in general and Lermontov himself in particular. However, in this identification, the Demon's rebellion is much closer to the poet's own rebellion, given Lermontov's criticism of his contemporaries, whom the Russian classic describes as prisoners desperate in the face of power in his famous poem “Thought”. The author of the article argues that in identifying the Demon with Lermontov, the rejection of God and the Divine world order comes to the fore. That is why Lermontov's characters are sometimes considered as harbingers of Nietzscheanism. The Demon, paradoxically, begins his path of striving for good from evil, killing Tamara's fiancé. Thus, it is in the poem “Demon” that the existential and psychological foundations of the criminal behavior of artistic characters in borderline situations are laid. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that it is impossible for the Demon to make an existential choice, he is doomed to forever arrive in the borderline situation described in Karl Jaspers' existential theories, without the possibility of its resolution, which results in an irresistible despair, from which even the path of faith proposed by Kierkegaard cannot be saved.","PeriodicalId":500034,"journal":{"name":"Issues of national literature","volume":"92 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140752639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the image of the autobiographical hero-writer, Rasputin embodies the drama of the artist, overcoming the inconsistency of the rational and irrational sides of creativity. It is concluded that the laws of art and the mystery of creativity in the writer's prose are connected with unraveling the mystery of life and death, with comprehending the mystery of being.

The writer's stories demonstrate a number of intra-genre varieties, starting with the main types of short prose – the actual story, short story, essay – and ending with synthetic and hybrid forms of short epic genres. Naumov's short stories feature satirical stories directed against bureaucrats, careerists, and lovers of the “green serpent”. Many of them contain everyday comedy, and in a number of the writer’s stories one can feel the features of the so-called “mischievous” tradition known in world literature, which often borders on “black” humor. Naumov’s humor is of a soft, “hinting” nature, and its meaning is hidden in allegories and subtext. A whole series of stories is dedicated to animals: the author’s bestiary includes horses, cows, dogs, cats, even piglets. The writer demonstrates extraordinary skill in creating crowd scenes and identifying the “collective consciousness.” At the same time, his artistic anthropology contains many vivid individualized images. In many of Naumov’s stories one can feel his talent as a playwright. If the writer’s short stories demonstrate different types of short prose, then the genre designations of his dramatic works are limited to only two definitions – “play” in the sense of “drama” and “comedy”. The only dramatic work that is not accompanied by an author's genre definition is “Autumn.” Judging by the brief initial remark, adherence to the principle of “three unities,” the absence of external events, and the minimum of characters, this is a psychological monodrama. In his comedies, as in his stories, Naumov used a whole system of poetic means and techniques, starting with such as literary allusions, poetics of names, animalistic imagery, and ending with the verbal self-disclosure of the characters. To enhance the ironic context, they mention the characters of S.S. Yakovlev-Erilik Eristin, poor Khachygyr, D.K. Sivtsev-Suorun Omollooa autocrat Makar, the “great strategist” Ostap Bender from the works of I. Ilf and E. Petrov, and adapt Ellyai’s poems. Finally, Naumov himself is a brilliant expert on the native language, rightfully throws a stone at supporters of excessive “Yakutization” of the language of the Sakha people.","PeriodicalId":500034,"journal":{"name":"Issues of national literature","volume":"42 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140755622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The works of I. A. Khudyakov, E. K. Pekarsky, G. U. Ergis, N. V. Emelyanov, modern researchers V. V. Illarionov, Yu. N. Dyakonova, N. A. Orosina and others are presented in the context of theoretical positions in the writings of Russian folklorists. The semantics of the study text is actualized as a process and result of live communication of carriers of cultural memory of ancestors, accompanied by targeted actions to rethink individual parts or episodes of its content. The preservation of interest in an ethnic literature in the modern world is facilitated by the availability of variants of fairy tales and images, but the early recordings of fairy tales are particularly significant. The aim of the work is to seek to substantiate various directions of analysis of folklore texts collected and systematized at the beginning of the 20th century; to identify static and dynamic episodes in stories, descriptions of portraits and functions of main characters. The methodological basis of the research are the works of V. Y. Propp, V. P. Anikin, S. Y. Neklyudov, Yakut ethnographers and folklorists A. E. Kulakovsky and G. V. Ksenophontov. In the process of work, source and textual methods of philology are used. The results consist in the analysis of the “Bibliography of the Yakut Fairy Tale” by Pekarsky (1912) and Ergis (1964 - 1967); in the characterization of the archival sources of features of the early folklore texts of Granny Taаl-Taаl and Chaarchakhaan. In this regard, one of the significant conclusions is the clarification of common places in their stories, and in the functions of the characters - analogies with mythological images and ancient rites.","PeriodicalId":500034,"journal":{"name":"Issues of national literature","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135738618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
