Abstract

The article is devoted to the current problem of the hermeneutic method in the study and teaching of literature. The article uses hermeneutic and cultural-historical methods. Describes the characteristic features of the interpretation of works of M. Gorky, which for students begins with perception, and also reveal the "hidden concepts" in works of various genres: from early stories, plays to the multivolume novel-epic "The Life of Klim Samgin". It justifies the idea that the explicit perception of the text of the works of M. Gorky already gives more freedom to interpret both the plot and the images of the characters. With specific examples, the author gives a generalized description of the understanding of texts by students. It justifies the idea that the process of perception, understanding and interpretation of texts is associated with a comparison of social practice, students' experience with those potencies, structures that were already incorporated in the work. Attention is drawn to the fact that it is important not only the study of biographical information by students, but also the textual consideration of the main works of the writer. In conclusion, it is stated that the hermeneutic approach implies a historical-literary and aesthetic interpretation, which is a very complex set of "understandings" of various aspects and levels of the artistic structure of works.
