The role of the romantic antinomy "man — world" in the works of O. V. Arefieva

The subject of the study is the antinomy "man – world" in the texts of Russian rock poetry. The object of the study is the lyrics of songs by Olga Viktorovna Arefieva. In the study, special attention is paid to the influence of the romantic tradition of the author's poetics, the specifics of the functioning of images and motives are considered, a comment is given on how Arefieva implements the antinomy "man – world", what kind of intention gives the relationship between the lyrical subject and the world expressed through "others". In the course of the study, a comment is given on the organization of the system of images in Arefieva's texts, and ways of demonstrating antinomy are analyzed. The figure of the lyrical subject, his attitude to the world around him, and his relationship with the "world" in Arefieva's poetics are studied. As part of the discussion of the image system, special attention is paid to the description of "others" and "you" in the author's texts. The author used the method of comparative literary analysis. To obtain the results, a selection was made from the corpus of lyrics by Olga Arefieva, which were selected according to the principle of correlation with the antinomy "man — world". The texts were then analyzed to identify common and various figurative and motional features. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the lyrics of Olga Arefieva's songs were not discussed within the framework of Russian literary criticism. As a result of the conducted research, it was possible to establish that in Arefieva's poetics the antinomy "man – world" is revealed through the relationship of the lyrical subject with "others" identified in various texts with machines, subordinated to the crowd, greedy hypocrites. At the same time, for the lyrical subject of Arefieva, the figure "you" becomes important, denoting, as a rule, a loved one. "You" occupy an intermediate position between the lyrical subject and the "others", in some texts providing assistance, and in others being part of a destructive society. In Arefieva's poetics, the way out of antinomy becomes possible when in contact with the "upper" space, which is open only to those who are able to love, forgive or create.
