FUNCTIONS OF THE VISUAL IMAGES IN OF CHRIST AND ANTICHRIST TRILOGY BY D.S. MEREZHKOVSKY
The article is devoted to the functions of intermediality in the symbolist novels by D. S. Merezhkovsky (Christ and the Antichrist trilogy). Intermediality is considered as a constructive and structural basis of the novels and the principle of poetics.Visual images of art reflect the writer’s theurgical aesthetics and his conceptual religious-philosophical ideas. They are the basis of the mysteriological-mythological plot and perform functions of the symbolic “crossing” of various religions and cultures borders. The article concludes that intermediality in the structure of the symbolist novel creates media myth about sacred function of the art as a meta-text.
