ON THE FORMATION OF SOME GENRE TRENDS IN THE DIALOGUE OF EUROPEAN AND DOMESTIC DRAMA THEORISTS

Author: Dudina T.P.,

The article discusses the dialogue of European and Russian theoretical thought, which has found its practical embodiment in the formation of ethical and aesthetic priorities and the genre system of Russian dramaturgy in a transitional situation. It is proved that the development of the Russian theory of drama and its genre identity occurs under the ambiguous influence of European aesthetic works. The emerging dialogue between European and domestic scientific intentions reveals the cultural contrast based on a number of factors caused by differences in socio-cultural historical and other traditions. The success of such philosophical and theoretical communication is determined by the global nature and relevance of the problems posed, and the axiological opposition underlying the formation of a number of theoretical aspects, revealing various evaluative characteristics characteristic of European and Russian consciousness, nevertheless reveals the possibilities of convergence. The problem presented in the article is considered by comparing the aesthetic works of the European philosophers Kant, Hegel, Schelling, Schlegel, Fischer and Schopenhauer and the theoretical works of A.F. Merzlyakov. It is shown that some limitations and some conceptual shortcomings of Merzlyakov's works do not detract from the deep and serious content of his aesthetic intentions. Merzlyakov's ethical and aesthetic concept demonstrated an analytical approach and criticality in relation to the European theory of drama, to the traditional classicist aesthetics and the emerging aesthetics of Romanticism. It carried an important tendency to overcome the archaic genre system of Russian dramaturgy, guiding Russian literature along the vector of its further evolutionary development. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that the Russian-European dialogue that emerged at the turn of the XVIII-XIX centuries immanently continues to determine genre-forming processes in any transitional period.
