Theoretical aspects of ethnopoetics

Abstract

This article discusses the theoretical aspects of ethnopoetics. The specificity of ethnopoetics is one of the branches of poetics that emerged at the junction of several sciences, such as literary studies, linguistics, cultural studies, and linguopoetics, which are scientifically analyzed. The origin of the term «ethnopoetics» and the works of J.Rothenberg, D.Tedlock, D.Hymes, V.N.Zakharov, G.D.Gachev, Z.P.Tabakova, and others are considered. The main stages of the formation and history of the study of ethnopoetics as a scientific direction are described. In a work of art, this sphere plays a special role in the representation of national identity, so the science of ethnopoetics shows its relevance. The problematic methodological direction of modern ethnopoetics is also determined. The main parameters of the modern direction of ethnopoetics are revealed and the connection of ethnopoetics with some branches of science is analyzed. In particular, its relationship with internal departments, such as imagology, religious philology are examined. The article shows the place of ethnopoetics in literary studies.
