ПОЭТИКА АДРЕСОВАННЫХ ЖАНРОВ В ТВОРЧЕСТВЕ И. А. БУНИНА
THE POETICS OF THE ADDRESSED GENRES IN THE WORKS OF I. A. BUNIN

Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to the study of the addressing as a communicative artistic phenomenon in the poetic works of I. A. Bunin, the revealing of genre, thematic and stylistic features of the addressing. In his poetry Bunin keeps on following the classical tradition and the preservation of the addressed poems in their genre certainty provided that the “timeless addressing” dominates. The addressing is found in a title complex and the genre of works. In the works of Bunin the Epitaph and Epithalamius maintain a genre shaping function of the addressed genres. The most modified forms are related to the genres of dedications and Epistles. The tendency to the cyclization inherent to the epoch leads to the appearance in Bunin’s poetry of “hidden” personalized cycles (Nadson, Balmont). However, the name of an addressee is the basic and unique unifying principle: the poems-dedication hardly contain citations, allusions or other signs of the addressee. So, the removal of dedications deprives the poem of any distinctive marks of an addressed genre. The most frequent addressed genres are those grouped by the theme of memory and the paradigm of “the death of the poet”, transformed by Bunin into the concept of “tomb / tomb of the poet” as a legendary figure. The special genre of an epithaphical friendly message appears that represent the panegyrical type of the addressing and allows the poet to comprehend the category of “ancestor memory”. The dialogization of the text often has the character of “auto-addressing”. The least represented is an ironic addressing aimed at debates with the modernist aesthetics dominant in poetry. Bunin contributed to the development of new artistic communicative strategies that were formed in the poetry of the twentieth century.
