AETERNUM – MOMENTUM – KAIROS: TEMPORAL ASPECTS OF MYTHOPOETICS IN ALES’ RYAZANOV’S COLLECTION «CLAY. STONE. IRON»

Abstract

The subject of the research is the mythopoetics of the collection by modern Belorussian poet Ales Ryazanov «Clay. Stone. Iron» with reference to the temporal aspects of reality depiction. The theme is the realization of the temporal component of mythopoetic images of following «primary elements» as clay, stone and iron. The aim is to identify the peculiarities of the artistic comprehension of time as an important constituent of meditating space of the lyrics created by Belorussian poet. Certain elements of hermeneutic literary work interpretation, mythological criticism and thema-tological method have been applied to the work. The novelty of the work consists in the fact that conceptual images re-flected in the collection «primary substances» of stone, clay and iron have been analysed with a view to the notions «Aeternum» (eternity), «Momentum» (instance), «Kairos» (favourable moment, gap that is not time but organizes tem-porality, gives it sense) respectively. The sphere of results application is historical-literary (an investigation of modern Belorussian literature) and theoretical (aspects of time poetics in modern lyrics). Symbolic model of the world in A. Ryazanov’s poetry collection is created due to the mythopoetic beliefs. The nature in this model is the manifestation of Divine, thus depicted primary substances are in the basis of world creation. Despite the fact that primary substances are subjective-spatial, the author does not consider them in special categories, but in terms of time and process. They are inscribed in the system of temporal relations that can be defined as a triad of antique notions «Aeternum – Mo-mentum – Kairos» and reflect author’s beliefs about the dialectics of human and world development.
