| Abstract [eng] |
The object of study of the present Dissertation is the worldview of Janina Degutytė, a poet who left an indelible mark on the Lithuanian literature of the second half of the twentieth century. The study aims to portray the multi-layered structure of formation of the world awareness in the poet’s texts. A combination of phenomenological and sociocultural methodological approaches allows for the integration of poetry, biographical texts, and letters, unstudied before and hardly ever discussed in previous research, into a single field of analysis. The entire text of the Dissertation is structured as a single narrative that covers separate profiles of the worldview, identified and analysed as key plots in Degutytė’s texts, and offers an insight into the development of the worldview in question: the study begins with the analysis of the poet’s early self-awareness in the letters written before the first publications and ends with an overview of the system of values formed in the poetry of Degutytė as a mature poet. An integrated approach to texts that belong to different discourses leads to correction of the previously shaped understanding of the creative oeuvre by Degutytė and her role as a cultural figure; this equally allows for uncovering the general mechanisms that governed the operation of a person in the Soviet cultural space and drawing the trajectory of development of a poet during the Soviet epoch. |
