THE PRINCIPLES OF ARTISTIC UNITY IN THE BOOKS BY Y. MORITS IN THE 2000S

Abstract

The current paper features the principles of artistic integrity in the books by Y. Morits published in the 2000s («Лицо», «Таким образом», «По закону – при- вет почтальону», «Рассказы о чудесном», «Сквозеро», «Ванечка» etc.). These works reveal such powerful semantic pairs as word and graphics, child and adult, temporal and eternal etc. They go back to the archetypal, mythological binary oppositions that are the results of cognition and methods of orientation and harmonization. In Moritz’s oeuvre these paired combinations display the author’s individual poetic vision of the world. The recurring motives of duplicity (duality) are connected with these binaries. The ratio of the components of these combinations is subdued to the universal principle for Morits’s oeuvre, i.e. the principle of anamorphosis (alternation, overflowing, reflection). This principle is embodied on different levels in her books and her ouevre in general. The complication of the principles of artistic integrity in Morits’s works created in the recent decade involves the deepening and widening of the contextual relations between these books, as well as with her previous works and with Russian and world literature and history in general.
