FOR A PRIVATE PERSON. TO THE DISCOURSE OF MICROHISTORY ON THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ART AND LITERATURE THROUGH THE EYES OF JOSEPH BRODSKY (BY EXAMPLE OF THE NOBEL SPEECH TEXT)

Abstract

The article presents a study of a problem of private existence through the prism of the meaning of art and literature in the work of Joseph Brodsky. The relevance of the research topic lies in the need for a private study of the Nobel speech as an independent product of creativity and as a reception of the life path and poetic achievements of the author, his personal attitudes and features of the picture of the world. The practical significance of the study is determined by the possibility of using the materials of the article in the further study of the author’s creative heritage. In methodological terms, the results can be used in classes in literary and linguistic disciplines at the level of a higher educational institution. The methodological apparatus of the study included linguistic, literary methods and methods of historical anthropology. The result of the study was the definition of the meaning of art, literature and poetry through the prism of the life and work of Joseph Brodsky.
