The chronotope of home in M. Tarkovsky's poetics

The article is devoted to the chronotope in the prose of M. Tarkovsky. Based on the material of the key texts of the author, the space of home is examined in its axiological perspective. The article revealed that on the one hand, the chronotope of home in the writer' s prose loses the sacrality of the image, is endowed with the features of a profane, marginal topos (which is always connected with the crisis of national identity), on the other hand, it is possible to trace the author' s idea of the ontological (natural) status of home. This problem is particularly significant in the light of neotraditionalist poetics, because at the turn of 20-21 st centuries the interest in the problem of personal identity is actualized, as the space of home is closely related to the motive of fate.
