Are Constants Constant?

Abstract

The boundaries of the artwork visibly change the perception of the seemingly unshakable physical laws. For example, the works of writers of the beginning and end of the twentieth century, who created samples of the so-called. “Border literature” (N.L. Leiderman), we consider the ethnocultural component of certain physical categories and their role in creating the image of “their own” and “alien” national world within the framework of Russian-language literature. As a “counterweight” to each other, the images of the world of the nomad steppe and sedentary Slavic people are used.
