Художня візія поетичного топосу міста у творчості Т. Шевченка

Abstract

The poetic works of T. Shevchenko depict the image of the city in style of realism with the reflection of the being of inhabitants of cities, moral and domestic issues, facts from the history of Ukraine, biblical motifs, and the like. The purpose of the study is to analyze the image features of the poetic topos of the city in the works of Taras Shevchenko. The specificity of the implementation of the urban theme in a literary text requires the use of system analysis, integrated use of historical-genetic, typological, hermeneutical, linguistic methods. Poetic topos is marked by a dynamism of portraying of urban realities, where the lyrical hero is experiencing a psychological transformation through the experiences of the local elements of space. Poetic topos is characterized by logical correlation of local structural elements with minds of the characters in one spatial continuum. Topos in the poetry of T. Shevchenko is a detailed semiotic structure in the linear aspect, but the point topos is constructed as a separate universal super-sign that has a fragmented representation of the steps in the loci-phsyhologema, while carrying a substantial core of the development of events in the focus of poetry in general. Volumoud topos of the city is closely correlated with the linear topos in cases where there is the development of events in spatial opposition “up – down”, thus, creating a huge semiotic construct of the topos. The linear topos of the city is a chain of events in the space of the work, and thanks to the opposition “top – bottom” this space has linear expansion of the loci in the space with each opposition that forms the bulk matrix of the topos. The topos is seen in the width (the content formation of the locus with meanings and attributes), the length (the number of loci) and the height (the opposition “top – bottom”). The themes of the poetic topos of the city in the works of T. Shevchenko reflects the range of perspectives: historical truth and the honour of the nation (“The Haidamaks”, “Large cellar”, “Chyhyryne, Chyhyryne...”), sin and redemption (“Varnak”), emotive experiences of historical events (“The Cry of Yaroslavna”), seeking the truth of life (“My Kuma and I...”), the historical conflicts and domestic drama (“In Vilno, glorious city...”), a parasitic existence of the aristocracy and the poverty of the common people (“Dream” (“Everyone has a destiny...”), “O people! People, poor tghings!”, “Once, walking at night...”), sacrificing service in the name of humanity (“Mariia”). A feature of the poetic topos of the studied works of T. Shevchenko is the psychological context, which is dominated by emotive theme as the voice of the lyrical works, and thus it becomes a broad space for the emotive experiences of the lyrical hero within the topos of the city. The topos of the city as a construction in space of human culture becomes a scheme, which is tributary to personal experience, historical context, together with the experiences of real-life situations of the lyrical hero in the space of the city being. Poetic topos, unlike the prose one, does not have significant detail in the depiction of the spatial strategy of loci- phsyhologema. The topos of the city in poetry has a more emotive-sensual beginning, where space and time become representatives of the “revolt of the senses” of the lyric hero.
