| Abstract [eng] |
Ivan Goncharov (1812–1891) is one of the most famous writers of the Russian realistic prose of the 19th century. Pieces written by the writer are characterised by picturesqueness, bright, absorbing pictures of characters. The author in his texts pays particular attention to the characters’ body. In the novel Oblomov, the relations between the body and the world are shown equal to the “communication” between the two bodies (the human and the world). The subject touches and is touched, sees and is seen, talks and is talked to. The body is found and shown through the language, in speech. The language itself is rather carnal, physiological and incarnated. In this context, a particular role falls on the person’s name. In the novel, the name manifests itself as a body, surfacing, appearing and acting among other names- bodies. Talking about the name, we also talk about the body. The carnality of the name expresses itself in linguistic- energetic shapes which are directly related to the body of the bearer of the name, his/her singularities and opportunities. The name which is pronounced or written down, when surfacing from the linguistic ulterior side, appears in the person’s habitable world, acquiring the shape and carnality. In the novel, the moment of such appearance, inclusion into the structures of existence is substantial. The first thing the reader encounters in the novel Oblomov, when opening a new horizon of experience, is the name from which begins everything what afterwards is materialized in the text as the picture of the specific character. Moreover, it is very important that the body never remains beyond the name. The own body remains and shows up in the name pronounced or written down as well as is included into the structure. It reveals its singularity and continues within the name. The name expands the field of opportunities in the world perceived and experienced by the sentient body. |
