- Abstract
The article analyzes the poem of Velimir Khlebnikov “The Shaman and Venus” (1912) in a branched cultural and historical context. The subject of research is the apophatic tradition in the work. Much attention is paid to the spatial-temporal model and the position is evening - morning, since the main events in the poem are carried out at the frontier hour. The evening light is connected with the image of shaman and the dawn hour with the image of Venus. Through the images of the title characters, two images of the world and two cultures are indirectly manifested, as well as a clash of the masculine and feminine, evening and non-evening light, which leads to a state of lack of time and points to sacred geography in the poem. The study is based on a holistic analysis of a literary text using structural-typological, comparative, comparative, system-integrated (cultural) research methods.
