«THE LANGUAGE OF CLOTHES» IN THE ARTISTIC WORLD OF SEMUEL RICHARDSON’S NOVEL «PAMELA»

The article contains the review of researchers’ opinions about the poetological function of a suit detail in Semuel Richardson’s «Pamela». The theme of clothes in the text attracts the researchers of academic tradition, which estimate a suit detail as a resource of deepening of characters, complication of a plot line of the novel.

THE PECULIARITIES OF THE RECEPTION OF HENRY FIELDING’S DRAMATURGIC HERITAGE IN CONTEMPORARY LITERARY CRITICISM

The research is devoted to exploring the features of reception of Henry Fielding’s dramatic heritage. The aim of the study is to analyze literary critics’ research of Henry Fielding’s creative work. We make the conclusion that Henry Fielding’s unprecedented success was due to the relevance of the topics and issues which the author focuses on. The characters, plots and themes were extremely close to the audience of that time and that is why they gained incredible popularity. In literary criticism, it was thought that the dramatic works served as a kind of start for Fielding to create his further fundamental works.

We consider the analysis of Fielding’s plays, which can become a material for studying the genre preferences of the writer, the key to the study of his novels and Fielding’s impact on the next generations of playwrights.

THE BRIEF SURVEY OF EVOLUTION OF THE RUSSIAN STUDY OF TALES. THE REPRESENTATION OF HERMENEUTICS OF FABULOUS PARADIGMS IN THE CREATIVE WORKS OF A. PUSHKIN

The history of study of the Russian literary tales is set out in writing as emergence of tendencies or existence of different schools and their representatives. Every epoch, trend and certain scientists advanced the new ideas carried on by other experts in the process of further development of science. Therefore, the description of the history of study of tales corresponds to the description of evolution of this scientific branch according to some tendencies demonstrating and concentrating certain issues. The study of the literary tales is asserted to be closely associated with the history of the country and the ways of reflection of people’s self-consciousness. The public, literary and scientific interest in the tales came into existence as far back as the XVIII-th c., went through the period of astounding growth in the XIX-th c., the decline in the first half and the renaissance in the second half of the XX-th c. The stable attention to tales is paid at the turn of the XXI-st century. Scientists persistently searched a platform for the systematization of tales, examined the peculiarities of this genre – its main features, characteristics, definitions – in order to distinguish tales from other genres. Both a form of a tale and its content – with the prospective morals – were carefully analysed. The form and the content (or the idea) either were separated or opposed till the scientists came to the brilliant thought of their unity as the form represented a shell in which an idea or a world-view found their expression. A great Russian scientist A. Veselovskiy insisted on the necessity of creating morphology of tales, later this task was performed by the other famous Russian researcher V. Propp. V. Propp did not fix the separate features in poetics of tales but he focused on their structure and composition as a whole. Also, the relation of constant, invariable elements of tales to changeable, variable elements was gradually studied and defined. The modern scientific views are based on the thought that the essence of literary tales as the phenomenon of spiritual culture is likely to be expanded in the process of studying the origin, the development, the interpretation of tales and exceeding the limits of the genre. In the present article the point of view is illustrated that the history of tales is so complex and their study is so difficult that they can hardly ever be kept within the definite bounds. The fairy tales of A. Pushkin have the peculiar attractiveness because they bear the stamp of genius of their creator. The present research in hermeneutics of the Russian literary tales is based on the tales by A. Pushkin as the most capacious hermeneutical paradigms. It should be noted that for the first time an attempt to reveal and interpret their hidden, inherent meanings has been made on the basis of hermeneutics of the works of art.

LANGUAGE AND THE PANDEMIC: RENEWING THE SEMANTICAL SPACE OF MODERN METAPHORS

Description of metaphorical models’ semantic nature of is one of the urgent tasks in linguistics, because metaphors, firstly, identify key objects, events and spheres of life, and secondly, significantly affect the renewal of lexical and stylistic potential of languages.

Linguistic-stylistic and semantic analysis of media messages allowes to identify metaphors-neologisms – linguistic contexts that are born in our time of destructive virus and other threats, examples of key (frequent) words in these contexts, as well as to clarify the ways to update existing semantic spaces of metaphorical field in modern English. Metaphors in the analyzed newspaper articles are mainly used to describe political and economic events, health and evironmentsl issues, agricultural matters, trade, and occasionally cover cultural and sporting events, however, all semantic topics are interrelated due to the impact of the global risks of our time.

FOUNDATIONS OF THE NOVEL WORLD OF IRIS MURDOCH

Iris Murdoch enters the wide space of literature and culture, conducts intertextual roll-over with various proto-texts, modalities, archetypes, philosophical concepts that have developed in literature, seeking to penetrate into the essence of man and the world. As a writer of the “transition”, Iris Murdoch’s work is not associated with an outright deformation of the world in its spatial and temporal coordinates, with the hypertrophy of conventional elements, with demonstrative deconstructive game stylization, with a violation of lifelikeness and ethical relativism inherent in “mature” postmodernism. An important feature of the poetics of “transition” in Murdoch turns out to be organic, devoid of contrast, both because of the objectively established relationship between modernism and postmodernism, and because of the subjective nature of her artistic thinking, marked by the gift of contamination.
