Abstract |
The paper offers plausible analysis of the poetic space of a prose work by highlighting the frame structure of the concept “enemy” by the example of the Russian war prose. By the concept “enemy” the authors mean a multi-level phenomenon, the structure of which implies several layers. In this paper, special attention is paid to the associative and figurative layers. Relying on a basic value of the frame — a sequence of several episodes in time — episodes with a sign of movement and development are analyzed. Based on the assumption that the frames in a work of fiction is a complex of plot (narrative) motifs, the authors consider the implementation of the motif of “meeting with the enemy” in the frame structure of the concept “enemy” at the level of the motif-system and the system of characters. Main meaning of the frame structure of the concept of “enemy” — a military opponent — in the development of the motif “meeting the enemy” is transformed into the meaning of an ideological enemy, that is, an enemy that does not constitute danger outside the battlefield. In the texts of the Russian war prose in the structure of the concept “enemy” the motif of “meeting the enemy” is implemented in two directions: in the first one we see the transformation of the meaning a military opponent into an ideological enemy. It mostly regards the works about wars preceding the Second World War; however there is no such transformation in terms of another direction — which actually illustrates the bulk of the prose of writers-veterans who created their works in the second half of the twentieth century. |
