metadata.value: In order to delineate the methodological grounds of Vladimir Markovich’s “Classic and Avantgarde”
  seminar and his scholarly approach as a whole, we analyse one literary theme that is
  connected to studying Gogol. In Yuri Lotman’s “The Issue of Artistic Space in Gogol’s Prose”
  (1968) we find structuralism generally tends to describe a particular text as a manifestation of
  the more general principles of a literary work per se. Yuri Mann’s “Gogol’s Poetics” (1978) is
  a classical typological description of forms performed on Gogol’s prosaic works. The chosen
  principles are strictly adhered to: focusing on a certain aesthetic category, the scholar follows
  its transformation within the boundaries of the studied system. In the preface to his monograph
  “Gogol’s Petersburg Tales” (1989), published twelve years after Mann’s work, Vladimir
  Markovich obviously follows the tradition of the formalist-structuralist literary theory, while
  defining the peculiarities of the analysed text. But granting equal rights to analysis, intuition
  and reader’s sensitivity in encompassing the fullness of text’s meaning, he allows practices
  characteristic to the opposing hermeneutics school. The author records the “oddities”
  of Gogol’s poetics and juxtaposes them with a broad literary context. Markovich constantly
  “checks” the obtained results against the readers’ reception, appealing both to the mentality
  of an implicit reader, reconstructed from Gogol’s texts, and to real readers — Gogol’s contemporaries,
  whose perceptive abilities are shaped by a certain cultural and historical period.
  Thus, the practices of receptive aesthetics enter the field of research methods. Against the
  background of Yuri Lotman’s and Yuri Mann’s studies it is possible to outline the unique attitude
  of Markovich, which integrates structural analysis, principles of receptive aesthetics
  and hermeneutical divination. Such methodological openness provides for greater internal
  dynamic, while aspiration to comprehension turns every research into a hermeneutic reading
  of the text, not exhaustive but discovering new layers of meaning in Russian classic literature.
