THE FUTURE OF THE LITERARY ESTATE IN LINE WITH THE “CIVILIZATIONAL APPROACH”

Abstract

The article considers the estate lifestyle as an element of the universal cultural code. Its features in the USSR and in the post-Soviet period are shown. Based on the material of Russian literature at the turn of the 20^th–21^st centuries, the trends in the development of the literary estate in line with the “civilizational approach” associated with the “big time” (M.M. Bakhtin) of Russian history were revealed for the first time. Based on this methodology in the process of textual analysis of the works of T.N. Tolstaya, V.G. Sorokin, A.P. Potemkin, Yu.V. Mamleev, V.O. Pelevin, G.S. Yakhina, etc. The conclusion is made that the history of the Russian literary estate is not limited to the imperial period of the 18^th – early 20^th century, as previously thought, but goes back to Moscow Rus with its Turkic-Slavic socio-cultural symbiosis. At the same time, some authors satirize the “civilizational approach” and the accompanying “estating” of Russia (V.G. Sorokin, V.O. Pelevin), some remain neutral (T.N. Tolstaya, G.S. Yakhina), others welcome the new civilizational shift (A.P. Potemkin, Yu.V. Mamleev).
