THE CONCEPT OF THE OBJECTIVE WORLD IN THE ARTISTIC SPACE OF THE “NEW NOVEL”

Abstract

The article analyses the concept of the objective world in the artistic space of the “New Novel” and the identification of the specifics of the functioning of things as a structure-forming element of the poetics of this direction. Special attention is paid to comparing the method of Shozism with the phenomenological and socio-philosophical concepts of the mid-20th century, which allows us to consider the “New Novel” not only as a formal literary experiment, but also as a reflection of the transformations of cultural and philosophical discourse of the era. For the first time, the work substantiates the organic connection of the poetics of the “New Novel” with the philosophy of consumer society and phenomenology, and reveals the role of describing things as a way of artistic representation of changing attitudes to the material world. The article is addressed to experts in the field of literary studies, teachers and students of philology, as well as anyone interested in the history of foreign literature of the 20th century, the theory of postmodernism and the philosophy of culture.
