Abstract

В статье рассматриваются основные подходы к изучению "метафизической" лирики в белорусском и российском литературоведении.

The article analyzes various approaches to the study of “metaphysical” lyrics in modern Belarusian and Russian literary criticism, which can be reduced to four main ones: 1) description of the literary school as a historical phenomenon; 2) identification of the key features of the “metaphysical” style in the work of an individual author and a group of authors; 3) identification of conceptual spheres in the lyric text (being / non-being, life / death, transcendental / immanent, world / person, etc.); 4) mutual relations between the categories “metaphysical, philosophical, meditative, religious, spiritual, intellectual”, etc., considered in the genre and paragenre theoretical field. Special attention in literary criticism is paid to the “metaphysical style”, the main features of which are: intellectualism, wit, complicated metaphorism, presence of a precedent prototext (“the peal (explicit and implicit) of the subject to the transcendental addressee or object (to what is beyond the physical world), meditativeness, philosophicality, tendency to expand the boundaries of time and space, associativity, conceptuality, ordinariness of the experienced “metaphysical” situation, synthesis of arts (poetry and music, poetry and painting, poetry, music and painting), “convergence” of somewhat distant ideas, mysticism, etc.
