BINARY OPPOSITION INDIVIDUAL-COLLECTIVE IN WORKS OF RUSSIAN CYBERPUNK

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the disclosure of the artistic aspects of the opposition individual-collective in the works of Russian cyberpunk. It is noted that the means of the artistic expression is the reception of the contrast of the image of the main character and the images of other characters of the Russian cyberpunk, who personifies the collective. Of great importance is the method of contrasting the image of the protagonist with the grotesquely fantastically depicted cyberspace. For the artistic expression of the opposition, the individual – collective authors also use the technique of hyperbolizing the loneliness of the protagonist, which largely determines his personality. The article concludes that the images of cities are also important for the hyperbolization of loneliness in the art world of Russian cyberpunk.
