The Ural mountains or the periodic table. On the subject and method of the history of Russian literature. Article 2

The article forms a hypothesis about a stable connection between the system of values of a literary character, the character of the plot eventfulness and the surrounding space filled with objects and phenomena. Based on the value coloring of any plot fact or phenomenon that forms an event series in the plot, the author suggests that it is possible to build a literary and aesthetic typology based on a universal value structure formed naturally around the issue of the purpose and meaning of the existence of an individual and humanity. A prerequisite for a protagonist to commit an act and form a plot event is a set of conditions formed by the value systems of his own and those around him. The character’s environment indexes its ontological and axiological status, which allows you to clarify the properties of the narrative model of the work, adding new information about the actual conditions for the formation of the plot event. The argument in favor of this possibility is the fact that, equally in reality and in the artistic world of the work, there is the emergence of structures that organize the value world of a person with a central point in the form of a sacred symbol, below which are located hedonistic, social, physiological, etc. levels of being. In the transcendental reality of the individual, characteristic concentric circles and zones of metaphysical responsibility are formed. The problem is that the value system of the person is located and operates in his оutlook, getting in reality, a considerable range of estimates, but in the aesthetic object spatial-material environment constructed by the author in accordance with the strategic оutlook of the character that gives reason for the construction of a typology based on the level of remoteness / contradictions / match / zoom, etc. to the sacred center of the value system through which it becomes possible to describe literature as a consistent and solid structure.
