Емблемата като принцип за словесна организация в "Септември" от Гео Милев
The Emblem As A Principle Of Verbal Organization In “Septemberˮ By Geo Milev

Summary/Abstract: “Septemberˮ by Geo Milev is one of the emblematic works of Bulgarian literature, which continues to have, to this day has an extraordinary impact on its readers. The article attempts to find an explanation for this strong impact. The working hypothesis is that the way of verbal organization of the work grows on the principle of the emblem, a mixed visual-verbal genre, whose main idea is to instill a strictly defined and value-stable idea. The genre specificity of the work, which has consistently been perceived as a “poemˮ, has also been reevaluated. In the light of contemporary genre theory, however, the work exhibits all the characteristic signs of a classical volunta. This lyrical genre, negatively evaluating the past and assigning all expectations to the future, aims to evoke a collective suggestion of hope and the dream of an earthly paradise. The most appropriate way to realise this artistic task is the principle of the emblem – a visual or verbal image expressing a sustainable meaning in a value-based sustainable world. The unambiguous and equal connection between vision and word in the emblem genre allows this function to be realized not only by visual images constructed with words, but also by stable expressions, slogans, mottos, characteristic types of onomatopoeias, as well as by symbolically charged personal names. All things that are consistently present in the verbal fabric of “September“.
