ONOMAPOETICS IMPACT ON THE CREATION OF ARTISTIC IMAGES IN V.G. RASPUTIN`S WORK «FINAL DATES»

The article researches the form-producing potential of onomapoetics in Rasputin`s «Final dates». The artistic status of the characters’ names is regarded in the scope of fundamental issue of ontological meaning of the word. Through the entire narration the character’s name specifies the author's message, the ideal prototype the implication of which is a vital task of the man. In the author’s opinion the issue of a name acquisition is the main topic in Rasputin`s works because it relates to many basic aspects: existential, cultural, and national. And the subject of continuity between the name category and the image category in the works by Rasputin makes the core of the subject matter researched in the article. As the name category seems to be aesthetic, the study of this issue has required the research of the Russian philosophical onomatology and to Losev’s and Florensky`s aesthetic theory. Thus, these philosophers not only scientifically grounded and dialectically developed the symbolic structure of the word containing intersection of various areas of objective reality, but they also revealed the antinomy between the ideal nomination and empiric nature of the character which is specified as the most important constructive factor of the literary work. Analysis of the proper name poetics based on the findings of philosophical onomatology has essential importance in analysis of the literary work. That means that the artistic images of the text are expressed through relations between a prototype and the image in the name structure of the character. In other words, the name is viewed as a spiritual archetype that organizes the artistic image and represents a word which exposes the energy of the entire humankind revealing through a person and expanding the frames of empirical world.
