THE FINALE OF Y. DOMBROVSKY'S NOVEL "THE FACULTY OF UNNECESSARY THINGS" AS A CODE

Kablukov Valerii Vitalevich

The article raises the question of the place of the novel Yu. Dombrovsky's "Faculty of unnecessary things" in the literary process of the twentieth century. Through the analysis of the composition of the work, a conclusion is made about the genre originality of the novel. Considering the text of the novel through the codes of cultural epochs, applying cultural-historical and historical-genetic research methods, the author comes to the conclusion that in the central work of Dombrowski's creativity, elements of an aesthetic system are emerging, multivariately overcoming the existential worldview. The article concludes that, being in its form an "existential chronicle", a "chronicle of existence", the novel acquires the features of a work of a "transitional period" in terms of content. In the finale of the novel, Dombrowski outlines the ways of human existence in a non-written culture, outside of history. As an option, complete dissolution in art is considered, the realization of one's own life as an act of creativity, as the only possible variant of the vertical dimension of a person in being.
