ЭПИСТОЛЯРНАЯ СИБИРИАДА А. П. ЧЕХОВА (ПИСЬМА ПИСАТЕЛЯ С ПОЗИЦИЙ КАТЕГОРИИ ВРЕМЕНИ И ПРОСТРАНСТВА)
THE EPISTOLARY HERITAGE OF A. CHEK¬HOV FROM SIBERIA (THE LETTERS OF THE WRITER FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF TIME AND SPACE)

Summary/Abstract: The object of the article is the examination of the possible ways of the imposition of the categories of space and time into the structure of the text. The space, which comes into existence inside the narration, allows presenting the text as an independently represented reality. It becomes an especially interesting phenomenon, when we appeal to the epistolary heritage. The space of the information allows the author to make the appointed language, to mount its narrative. The narrative structure helps the reader to organize the model of their own conception about the derivative. The text becomes the bearer of the information, which the reader interprets and learns in their way. The time, which arises inside the message, allows seeing the process of understanding in its phases of the progress. The categories of space and time in their aesthetic treatment are researched thoroughly enough in Philosophy (from the works of Aristotle, G. E. Lessing, I. G. Gerder, I. Kant, F. Shelling, G. W. F. Hegel to the researches of A. Einstein, S. A. Babushcin, A. M. Mostepanenco, G. N. Slepuhov and others). The conclusions of this research bring new aspects of the examination of the declared conceptions. The categories of space and time were actively developed by the works of the experts in literature B. N. Eihenbaum, M. M. Bahtin, D. S. Lihachev, J. M. Lotman, G. N. Pospelov, V. V. Shklovsky, E. Faryno, A. Y. Gurevich, F. P, Fedorov, Z. Y. Turaeva, N. F. Rzhevskaya, I. K. Gey also in the studies of V. E. Chalisev, B. O. Korman, D. N. Medtish, G. I. Markin, L. V. Kazantseva, V. I. Cherednichenko and others. Majority of them appealed to the analysis of the functions of the categories of space and time in the works of art. The task of our research consists in the attempt to ground the appropriateness of the birth of the work of art from the precreated material in particular letters. The letters by A. P. Chekhov from Siberia, which are analyzed from a position of the organization of time and space, open the secrets of the border of the penal servitude and the exile, the author gets nearer and clearer, the life of the outstanding man – more interesting, and many episodes of the sketches “From Siberia” appear historically important. KEY WORDS: category, space, time, exchange of letters, type of a Siberian, nature, cities, provisions, Siberia.
