Principles of cyclization in the collection of A.V. Ilichevsky "Dew Point"

The object of the research is the poetics of cyclization of epic texts in modern literature. The subject of the study is the structural and semantic aspects of the cyclization of small and medium prose. The collection "Dew Point" by Alexander Viktorovich Ilichevsky was chosen as the research material. The author of the article examines in detail such aspects of the topic as the way of expressing the author's position through the image of the narrator synthesizing the action, the spatial and temporal organization that ensures the unity of perception of the sections of the collection, and the leitmotif structure that semantically binds the epic text of different genres. Special attention is paid in the article to the title-nominative complex of the collection, which reflects the main techniques of cyclization, and the autobiography of the narrative, which determines the selection of spatial images, plot structure, value orientations and determines all the substantive aspects of cyclization. The author turns to the geosophical foundations of the collection in order to reveal the dependence of the ideological content of key spatial images on the spiritual quest of the narrator. Intercultural interrelationships are considered as an important tool of cyclization, which are conveyed by the author through literary allusions and a cross-cultural approach to reflecting the modern world. The research is based on a systematic and holistic analysis of a literary text with elements of structural and comparative typological analysis. The cycle is considered by the author of the article as a supra-genre unity, the techniques of cyclization of a structural and meaningful nature are revealed. The main conclusions of the conducted research are the revealed principles of cyclization, including the principle of autobiography, the principle of parallelism of states of nature and the inner world of the individual, the principle of intercultural interrelationships, the principle of leitmotifism. The author's special contribution to the research of the topic is to clarify the principles of cyclization of the epic text in modern literature. The author conducted a systematic and holistic analysis of the poetics of the epic cycle in the works of Alexander Ilichevsky on the example of the collection "Dew Point", revealed the compositional and ideological and semantic foundations for the synthesis of various genres of epic texts into a single work of art.
