Барочный Вильнюс как город трансгрессивной идентичности в «Литовском дивертисменте» Иосифа Бродского

Abstract

A model has been proposed for studying the lyrical cycle „Lithuanian divertissement” and manifestations of borderline through the indicators of Brodsky’s baroque poetic consciousness. This approach does not exclude, on the contrary, activates a much wider cultural, ideological, symbolic context that contributes to the comprehension of the Brodsky version of emigrant poetics. The semiosphere of Baroque Vilnius in the poetic reception of Brodsky manifested in the eclectic but organic superimposition of various cultural codes with the corresponding Dionysian hybridity, is also distinguished by apollonically oriented emblematics, melancholy and a clear tendency to nostalgism.
