Bodycentricity as dominant in modern Russian literature

The article is devoted to modern Russian literature in the context of the concept of «dehumanization». The term was first used by the Spanish philosopher J. Ortega y Gasset in his work «the Dehumanization of art» (1925). He examined the art of modernism through the prism of displacement from the art of the «human content», suggesting a direct link of material works of art and real life. Aesthetics, focused imaging of altered reality, or, conversely, naturalistic meticulously copying it, leaving the person in axiological terms, very small place. The views of the philosopher confirmed the catastrophic twentieth century. Aesthetic ideas silhouette appeared directly on the events of world history. One of the elements of dehumanization is bodycentricity, i.e. the cult of the body, which replaced the cult of the spirit of classical art. In modern literature, bodycentricity is one of the dominant themes, demonstrating the impossibility for heroes to gain a genuine sense of existence. This theme is of such authors as A. Ivanov, R. Senchin, V. Sorokin, B. Shirjanov, Z. Prilepin I. Stogov, etc.
