METABOLA AND SEMANTIC METABOLISM IN THE IDIOSTYLE OF MARK SHATUNOVSKII

The article studies semantic transformations in Mark Shatunovskii’s idiostyle that are based on metabola, a specifi c type of trope that synthesizes all methods of word conversion. The semantic fi eld of corporality in Shatunovskii’s poetry can be transformed by the semantic fi eld of vegetation or vice versa. By analogy with biological metabolism in the semantics of his poems, details are not just mixed, but the spaces themselves, from which chimeric images are formed, no longer corporal, but not yet vegetal. Interweaving physiology with vegetation, with space and mechanics, with sacred and domestic, Shatunovskii creates a special phenomenology of perception and ontology of the body. In such an ontology, penetration into the world in-itself of objects is possible only through the perception of its chimeric metamorphoses, through metabolas that splice the denotative spaces of corporal, natural and technogenic. In Shatunovskii’s idiostyle, there is a
metabolism of space and time, when time acquires a spatial characteristic, in which a frozen reconstituted time organizes subtle connections between objects and their perception. Thus, the metarealistic phenomenology of the connections of the world in the idiostyle of Mark Shatunovskii is expressed through semantic metabolism, splicing a variety of semantic fi elds, especially corporality, which expresses the complex connection of the body and the reality perceived by it.
