Abstract

Purpose. The article analyses the features of the erotic narrative of I. A. Bunin in his cycle Dark Alleys, which became a phenomenon in Russian classical literature – a kind of artistic “encyclopedia of love”, written in defiance of ethical and ideological prohibitions.Results. Erotica in this cycle is presented in descriptions of the physiology of sex and sexual communication. The research examines 209 contexts extracted from the cycle. They describe actions of a sexual nature, including violent or commercial ones, human physiology and anatomy (59 contexts), which determine human sexual behavior. The writer widely uses various methods of euphemization of erotic meanings: synonymous replacements, generalization techniques, allusion, ellipsis, silence. Quantitative data show that the main speech strategy in the Bunin cycle is silence, which is implemented in a whole series of stylistic tropes and figures. I. A. Bunin uses a diverse arsenal of units of the lexical, lexico-morphological and syntactic levels. Euphemisms appear in areas of maximum erotic tension. With their help, the author reduces the “emotionogenicity” of erotica in accordance with his own ideas about the boundaries of what is acceptable and permissible.Conclusion. In the vertical context of Russian culture, I. Bunin’s erotic narrative, his restraint and precision in the choice of linguistic means, the deliberate exclusion of naturalism and reduced style serve to preserve harmony in the triad “LOVE – PASSION – SEX”. The Bunin language of Dark Alleys can be considered a classic standard of the sacrament of physical love, which the writers of the 20th century were guided by, accepting or rejecting it.

伊-布宁《暗巷》中婉转的情色叙事手段
目的文章分析了伊-阿-布宁在其《暗巷》一书中的情色叙事特点,该书已成为俄罗斯古典文学的一种现象--一种艺术性的 "爱情百科全书",它是在无视伦理和意识形态禁令的情况下写成的。该书中的情色描写是通过对性生理和性交流的描述来表现的。研究对从该周期中提取的 209 个情境进行了审查。它们描述了决定人类性行为的性行动(包括暴力或商业性行动)、人体生理和解剖(59 个情境)。作者广泛使用了各种婉转色情含义的方法:同义替换、概括技巧、典故、省略号、沉默。定量数据显示,布宁作品中的主要语言策略是沉默,并通过一系列文体套语和形象来实现。伊-阿-布宁在词汇、词形和句法层面使用了多种多样的单位。委婉语出现在情欲最紧张的地方。在它们的帮助下,作者根据自己对可接受和可允许的界限的看法,降低了情色作品的 "情感原生性"。在俄罗斯文化的纵向背景下,伊-布宁的情色叙事、他在语言手段选择上的克制和精确、对自然主义的刻意排斥以及风格的简化,都有助于维护 "爱-激情-性 "三者之间的和谐。布宁在《幽暗的小巷》中的语言可以说是肉体之爱圣典的经典标准,20 世纪的作家们都以此为指导,接受或拒绝它。
