Abstract |
Currently, the study of the work of A.P. Dovzhenko, who had a huge influence on the poetic cinema of the 1960–1970's, does not receive due attention. In 1930 A.P. Dovzhenko created an epic poem about the land. One of the main ideas of A. Dovzhenko's work is the glorification of the earth, “soil”, which has already been indicated by many researchers. The earth, as the place of residence of a person, according to A. Dovzhenko, is a “creative space”. This tradition can be traced not only in “Earth”, but also in other films by A. Dovzhenko (“Aerograd”, “Shchors”, “Michurin”), as well as in films created after his scripts by director Yu. Solntseva (“Charmed Desna”, “A Tale of Fiery Years”). The purpose of this study is to comprehend the worldview of A. Dovzhenko. The tasks of the study include: an analysis of the spatial organization of the director's works, a study of the significance of the concept of the earth, its connection with mythopoetics, with the folklore and religious origins of the figurative system. The novelty of this study is that the earth is considered as a “garden”, as a “creative space”. When choosing a research methodology, we cannot limit ourselves to one method. This study uses a comprehensive cultural approach, including comparative, dialectical, phenomenological and psychological methods. |
