Story about the Iconographer and the Goldsmith in the context of the formation of the poetics of the Belarusian literary plot

Summary/Abstract: In the article, an attempt has been made to reconstruct the archaic plot structure of Story about the Iconographer and the Goldsmith – one of the most highly artistic of Maksim Bogdanovich’s stories, in which the archetypal tripartite scheme of the cyclical plot has been significantly changed and reinterpreted. The canonical for its “loss” is embodied in the macroplot as an artistic model of an individual and historical situation, the archetypal “search” is represented as dotted lines of possible plot solutions, and for the first time instead of “gain” an open finale appears. The obvious modification of plot universals, which occurs in the process of this kind of secondary playing of artistic codes of expression, hypothetically can mean one chronological point that is fundamentally important for understanding the evolution of Belarusian national artistic thinking – the beginning of the formation of one more historical plot type in Belarusian literature.
