Теоретичні аспекти дослідження модернізму: стратегія та напрями літературознавчих рецепцій

Abstract

This paper presents systematization and generalization of theoretical receptions of the concept “Modernism”, to proceed to study into the basic types of literary strategies of its comprehension and scientific interpretation. The importance of the scientific issues addressed in the article is stated, given the debatable nature of “Modernism” and the absence of a consolidated concept in modern literary criticism, to outline the paradigmatic foundations of the artistic phenomenon of modernism. It is noted that the debatable aspect of the receptions of modernism is present in the first attempts to determine its theoretical essence in general, and its individual dominant features. While the initial theoretical receptions of the concept of “Modernism” were colored by one or another form of its ideological evaluation, the next stages of literary research into this movement are characterized by a more balanced and scientifically objective assessment. At the same time, the discussion on both the main, fundamental and individual aspects of the artistic phenomenon of modernism in modern literary criticism continues to this day. In the polemical circle of issues concerning the theoretical reception of modernism, the following issues have been singled out as the most controversial: 1) delineation of the chronological boundaries of modernism; 2) its socio-cultural basis; 3) the relationship of modernism with previous literary traditions; 4) contemporary literary process; 5) further literary development.
