Boundaries of being: The images of inverted space in the prose of the Yakut writer Platon Oyunsky

The article attempts to study the images of inverted space in the prose of Platon Oyunsky. Special attention is paid to the initial images of the artistic chronotope, forming a scheme of inversion: this is the underwater and lower worlds, the urban space in the writer's stories. The author of the article also highlights the image of the border, which forms a specific character of the Yakut world, also asserting the exceptional image of the initiating hero. The scholarly paradigm of this study also includes the issue of the body (clothing) as the main component of the image of the “I” of an urban person, defining the boundaries of his/her social sphere.
