"Голый человек" А. Солженицына на фоне "новой лагерной прозы": pro et contra

Abstract

The article analyzes the epic story by A. Solzhenitsyn "One day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" (1959), its typological ties with the "new prison camp prose" presented in the novels by G. Yakhina ("Zuleykha opens her eyes", 2015), Z. Prilepin ("The Abode", 2014), and E. Vodolazkin ("The Aviator", 2016). The classical non-fiction "prison camp prose" depicts the camp world through the prism of personal experience of the author: from F. Dostoyevsky to A. Solzhenitsyn and V. Shalamov. The "new prison camp prose" stories are deprived of such perspective - they have the character of existential enlightenment. The study shows that one of the structure-forming motifs in the above mentioned texts is the motif of "the naked person" which remains to be urgent just because it brings the reader closer to understanding the ontology of the person who is deprived even of a cross worn on his neck and who is robbed of protection of all man-made gods. The paper presents the history of the embodiment of the image of the "naked man" in the domestic literature: from the literature of the 17th century to avant-garde and postmodernism; it is shown how the relations between the world of reality and the "pitch-black world" (the world of hell, camp), in which bareness and poverty are its charisma, were formed.
