metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article examines some of the features of A. Kushner’s reception of antiquity. The antique
  layer is an important component of the poetry of the St. Petersburg poet, starting with his
  very first poems of the 1960s. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the poem “Перед
  лучшей в мире конной статуей…” (“In front of the world’s best equestrian statue”, 2008) in
  connection with the problem of literary ekphrasis. The theoretical part of the article clarifies
  the meaning of “ekphrasis” and gives a brief overview of the most significant concepts that
  exist in modern science. The term appeared in antiquity, in the XIX century it was used in
  classical philology, and from the twentieth century it was applied to the analysis of the literature
  of modern times. The actualization of the term has significantly expanded the scope of
  the concept and its application. Modern authors use the possibilities of ekphrasis in different
  ways. In its most common form the emphasis is shifted from describing the work of art itself to
  describing a subjective impression (in poetry, works of art are usually mentioned more often
  than described in detail). The analytical part confirms the relevance of the ekphrastic principle
  in relation to different levels of the poem. The cultural-historical paradigm of the poetic image
  of an equestrian statue/statues that are present in Kushner’s poem in explicit or implicit form is reconstructed. The specificity and functions of antique intertexts are revealed. The article
  exposes not only obvious allusions correlated with the monument to Marcus Aurelius, but also
  implicit reminiscences referring to the philosophy of the Roman Stoics.
