VANDA MIKHAJLOV AS A TABOO OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR: CZESŁAW STRASZEWICZ MICROCOSMOS IN «KUKUSHKA FORESTS VISILE»

Abstract

The issue of taboos in literature is not a question of what cannot be done in life, in sociocultural practices, and in individual apperceptions - such an approach is sinful with its utilitarianism and depth. Taboo is what transforms dialectical into metaphysical, leads to dynamic immobilization with its subsequent devastation. Behind such processing and conducting there are discursive changes in the world of the individual as well as the world of the community in which the individual realizes his existence. If we resort to analogy, the taboo category in written texts is similar to Planck’s constant in quantum physics. Even if for some condition even one digit were changed far behind the decimal point in its continued fraction (which it is itself), the world would become different at all; first of all, it is supposed in its extrapolation to organic life, accordingly, of course, would be different and the reception of this world would be the whole biocenosis.

The taboo for any sociocultural practice, a variation of which is literature as a subject, is a multifaceted and multi-shadowed phenomenon. The edges of his understanding are thin and ambiguous - similar to a number far behind the decimal point in a continued fraction - but “break” at least one edge, her personality intelligibility, and also of others in the context of the whole concept of category, changes and the being “worrying about crossing” this edge and the existence of the surrounding social reality. Maurice Druon concluded that the elimination of the taboo, its transgression and trampling in the discourse of the activities of the elite of society, will necessarily lead to the strengthening of the role of mediocrity in history, which in the future will end the last one due to the end of a discourse like this. And Czesław Straszewicz concluded that trampling a taboo, its interpretation as something that hinders the self-realization of an individual, includes the conciliatory dualism of the reception of crime as simply a fact (not necessarily a misfortune) and a fluid modernity with its freedom from all moral and legal limitations, narrowness of mind and conditions. existence. On the one hand, when there are certain prohibitions in society, the social world is rigidly structured, hierarchical, burdened with a network of various communication obligations, the destruction of taboos is a protest for social lifts, on the other - violating the prohibitions, even partially, may have unforeseen consequences.
