METABOLIC LANDSCAPE IN THE POETIC CYCLE "TRAIN" BY IVAN ZHDANOV

Author: Solovyeva E.I.

The proposed study draws attention to the multi-tiered nature, volume, individuality, symbolic richness, diversity and variability of landscape elements in a literary text. This allows us to consider the landscape not only as a reflection of man and nature, but also to state the possibility of expressing ideas of the structure of the universe through landscape images. At the same time, not only the descriptive-background function of the landscape is highlighted, but also determine its ability to signal the side features of a person′s perception of himself, the environment and existence in general. Understanding the systematic nature of the landscape, its phenomenological power, as well as the fundamental principles of the formation and the use of natural-spatial components leads to an awareness of the need to formulate the term "landscape code". In accordance with the attitudes of chosen approach, particularly close attention is paid to the landscape based on metabolic transfer. The metabola represents a new type of worldview, making images reversible, which correlates with the interpretation of landscape as a multicomponent structure and determines its focus on philosophical comprehension of the world. Considered in the context of other tropes that have a formative impact on consciousness, metabola is typified as a complicated concept, supplemented in comparison with metaphor, which is the cornerstone for the metarealistic poetics of multidimensional reality. As illustrative and evidentiary material, the article presents an analysis the poetic cycle "Train" by Ivan Zhdanov. The research choice is explained by the metabolically concentrated figurative ambiguity inherent in the author′s artistic model, as well as the poet′s creative interest in the landscape genre. A detailed dissection of the text occurs from the point of view of the functioning of metabola in it as a means of creating moving, multi-component, mosaic-decomposed landscape images, built on the approximation and layering of various realities. A landscape based on metabol is considered as a particular manifestation of the landscape code, a vivid example of a landscape that creates consciousness, and a significant channel for representing the author′s philosophy of worldview. Specific examples show the ability of a metabolic landscape to swap direct and figurative meanings, thereby connecting and harmonizing heteropolar elements, as well as expanding the very understanding of the category of landscape.
