Presentation on the topic of acmeism in Russian literature. Presentation for a literature lesson on the topic "Acmeism as a literary trend. The world of images of Nikolai Gumilyov." Connection with the mysterious world

slide 2

Definition

ACMEISM - modernist movement, declaring a concrete-sensual perception of the external world, the return to the word of its original, non-symbolic meaning. The name "acmeism" comes from the Greek. “acme” - point, peak

slide 3

Story

The actual acmeist association was small and existed for about two years (1913-1914). But blood ties connected him with the “Shop of Poets”, which arose almost two years before the acmeist manifestos and resumed after the revolution. The members of the “Shop” were mainly novice poets: A. Akhmatova, N. Burliuk, Vas. Gippius, M. Zenkevich, Georgy Ivanov, E. Kuzmina-Karavaeva, M. Lozinsky, O. Mandelstam, Vl. Narbut, P. Radimov. Meetings of the "Workshop" were attended by N. Klyuev and V. Khlebnikov. "Tsekh" began to publish collections of poems and a small monthly magazine "Hyperborey".

slide 4

In 1912, at one of the meetings of the “Workshop”, the issue of acmeism as a new poetic school was resolved. The name of this trend emphasized the aspiration of its adherents to new heights of art. The main organ of the acmeists was the Apollon magazine (ed. S. Makovsky), which published poems by members of the “Workshop”, manifesto articles by N. Gumilyov and S. Gorodetsky. The new trend in poetry opposed itself to symbolism, which, according to Gumilyov, “has completed its circle of development and is now falling” or, as Gorodetsky argued more categorically, is experiencing a “catastrophe”. However, in essence, the “new trend” was not at all antagonistic in relation to symbolism. The claims of the acmeists turned out to be clearly untenable.

slide 5

“We will fight for strong and vital art beyond the limits of the painful decay of the spirit,” the editors proclaimed in the first issue of the Apollo magazine (1913), in which N. Gumilyov wrote in the article “The Legacy of Symbolism and Acmeism”: “Symbolism is being replaced by a new direction, no matter how it is called, is it acmeism (from the word ???? (“acme”) - the highest degree of something, color, blooming time), or adamism (a courageously firm and clear outlook on life), - in in any case, requiring a greater balance of power and a more precise knowledge of the relationship between subject and object than was the case in symbolism. However, in order for this current to assert itself in its entirety and be a worthy successor to the previous one, it is necessary that it accept its legacy and answer all the questions posed by it. The glory of the ancestors obliges, and symbolism was a worthy father”

slide 6

In an effort to dispel the atmosphere of the irrational, to free poetry from the "mystical fog" of symbolism, the acmeists accepted the whole world - visible, sounding, audible. But this “unconditionally” accepted world turned out to be devoid of positive content.

Slide 7

Every direction is in love with one or another creators and epochs. Dear graves bind people the most. In circles close to acmeism, the names of Shakespeare, Rabelais, Villon and Theophile Gauthier are most often pronounced. Each of these names is the cornerstone for the building of acmeism, the high tension of one or another element. Shakespeare showed us the inner world of man; Rabelais - the body and its joys, wise physiology; Villon told us about a life that does not doubt itself in the least, although it knows everything - and God, and vice, and death, and immortality; Théophile Gautier for this life found in art worthy clothes of impeccable forms. To combine these four moments in oneself is the dream that united people who so boldly called themselves acmeists.

Slide 8

Aesthetics of acmeism:

The world must be perceived in its visible concreteness, its realities must be valued, and not taken off the ground; - the source of poetic values ​​is on earth, and not in the unreal world; - it is necessary to revive love for one's body, the biological principle in a person, to appreciate a person, nature; - in poetry, 4 principles should be merged together 1) Shakespeare's traditions in the image inner peace person; 2) traditions of Rabelais in the chanting of the body; 3) the traditions of Villon in singing the joys of life; 4) Gauthier's tradition of celebrating the power of art.

Slide 9

Basic principles of acmeism:

The liberation of poetry from symbolist appeals to the ideal, the return of clarity to it; - rejection of the mystical nebula, acceptance earthly world in its diversity, visible concreteness, sonority, colorfulness; - the desire to give the word a specific, precise meaning; - objectivity and clarity of images, sharpness of details; - an appeal to a person, to the "authenticity" of his feelings; - poetization of the world of primordial emotions, primitive biological nature; - a call to the past literary epochs, the broadest aesthetic associations, "longing for world culture".

Slide 10

Distinctive features of acmeism:

Hedonism (enjoyment of life), adamism (animal essence), clarism (simplicity and clarity of language); - lyrical plot and portrayal of the psychology of experience; - colloquial elements of the language, dialogues, narratives. Acmeists are interested in the real, and not the other world, the beauty of life in its concrete - sensual manifestations. Nebula and hints of symbolism were opposed by a major perception of reality, the authenticity of the image, and the clarity of the composition. In some ways, the poetry of acmeism is the revival of the “golden age”, the time of Pushkin and Baratynsky.

    In comparison with other poetic directions of Russian Silver Age Acmeism in many ways is seen as a marginal phenomenon. It has no analogues in other European literatures (which cannot be said, for example, about symbolism and futurism); the more surprising are the words of Blok, Gumilyov's literary opponent, who declared that acmeism was just an "imported foreign thing." After all, it was acmeism that turned out to be extremely fruitful for Russian literature. Akhmatova and Mandelstam managed to leave behind "eternal words." Gumilyov appears in his poems as one of the brightest personalities of the cruel time of revolutions and world wars. And today, almost a century later, interest in acmeism has survived mainly because the work of these outstanding poets, who had a significant impact on the fate of Russian poetry of the 20th century, is associated with it.

    Slide 17

    October Revolution caused differentiation among the acmeists and determined their various paths in the post-revolutionary years: some were shot, others ended up in exile, others fell silent, having no common language with the Soviet people. A number of poets (A. Akhmatova, S. Gorodetsky, M. Zenkevich) entered Soviet literature and gave it their talent.

    Acmeism

    • ACMEISM(from the Greek akme - the highest degree, peak, flowering, flowering time) - a literary movement that opposes symbolism and arose at the beginning of the 20th century in Russia.
    Principles of acmeism
    • The liberation of poetry from symbolist appeals to the ideal, the return to it of clarity, materiality, "joyful admiration of being";
    • The desire to give the word a certain exact meaning, to base works on specific imagery, the requirement for “beautiful clarity”;
    • Appeal to a person, to the "authenticity of his feelings";
    • Poetization of the world of primordial emotions, primitive biological nature, prehistoric life of the Earth and man.
    • The term acmeism was proposed in 1912 by N. Gumilyov and S. Gorodetsky: in their opinion, symbolism in crisis is being replaced by a direction that generalizes the experience of predecessors and leads the poet to new heights of creative achievements.
    • The formation of acmeism is closely connected with the activities of the "Workshop of Poets", the central figure of which was the organizer of acmeism N. Gumilyov. Contemporaries gave the term other interpretations: Piast saw its origins in the pseudonym A. Akhmatova, which sounds like “akmatus” in Latin, some pointed to its connection with the Greek “acme” - “point”.
    • As a literary trend, acmeism did not last long - about two years (1913-1914), but one cannot ignore its ancestral ties with the "Poets' Workshop", as well as the decisive influence on the fate of Russian poetry of the twentieth century. Acmeism consisted of six of the most active participants in the movement: N. Gumilyov, A. Akhmatova, O. Mandelstam, S. Gorodetsky, M. Zenkevich, V. Narbut.
    • At the meetings of the "Tsekh", in contrast to the meetings of the Symbolists, specific issues were resolved: the "Tsekh" was a school for mastering poetic skills, a professional association. The creative fates of poets who sympathized with acmeism developed in different ways: N. Klyuev subsequently declared his non-participation in the activities of the community, G. Adamovich and G. Ivanov continued and developed many principles of acmeism in emigration, acmeism did not have any effect on V. Khlebnikov noticeable influence.
    • The platform of the acmeists was the Apollo magazine, edited by S. Makovsky, in which the declarations of Gumilyov and Gorodetsky were published. The program of acmeism in "Apollo" included two main provisions: firstly, concreteness, materiality, versatility, and secondly, the improvement of poetic skills. The rationale for the new literary trend was given in the articles of N. Gumilyov The legacy of symbolism and acmeism(1913), S. Gorodetsky Some currents in modern Russian poetry(1913), O. Mandelstam Morning of acmeism(1913, not published in Apollo).
    • One of the main tasks of acmeism - to straighten out the tilt towards the otherworldly, characteristic of symbolism, to establish a "living balance" between the metaphysical and the earthly. The acmeists did not renounce metaphysics:
    • “always remember the unknowable, but do not offend your thought about it with more or less probable conjectures” - such is the principle of acmeism.
    • The main difference between acmeism Gumilyov proposed to consider the recognition of the "intrinsic value of each phenomenon" - it is necessary to make the phenomena of the material world more tangible, even rough, freeing them from the power of foggy visions.
    • Poorly substantiated as a literary trend, acmeism united exceptionally gifted poets - N. Gumilyov, A. Akhmatova, O. Mandelstam, the formation of creative individuals of which took place in the atmosphere of the "Poet's Workshop", disputes about "beautiful clarity". The history of acmeism can be viewed as a kind of dialogue between its three prominent representatives. Subsequently, acmeistic poetics was complexly and ambiguously refracted in their work.
    • O. Mandelstam
    • N. Gumilyov
    • A. Akhmatova
    • In the poetry of N. Gumilyov, acmeism is realized in a craving for the discovery of new worlds, exotic images and plots. The path of the poet in Gumilyov's lyrics is the path of a warrior, a conquistador, a discoverer. The muse that inspires the poet is the Muse of Far Wanderings.

    • A. Akhmatova's acmeism had a different character, devoid of attraction to exotic plots and colorful imagery. The originality of the creative manner of Akhmatova as a poet of the acmeist direction is the imprint of spiritualized objectivity. Through the amazing accuracy of the material world, Akhmatova displays a whole spiritual structure. “In this couplet - the whole woman,” spoke of Akhmatova song last meeting M. Tsvetaeva.

    • The local world of O. Mandelstam was marked by a sense of mortal fragility before faceless eternity. Mandelstam's acmeism is "the complicity of beings in a conspiracy against emptiness and non-existence." Among the acmeists, Mandelstam was distinguished by an unusually sharply developed sense of historicism. The thing is inscribed in his poetry in a cultural context, in a world warmed by “secret teleological warmth”: a person was surrounded not by impersonal objects, but by “utensils”, all the mentioned objects acquired biblical overtones.

    • Acmeism strongly influenced the development of Russian poetry in exile, on the “Parisian note”: G. Ivanov, G. Adamovich, N. Otsup, I. Odoevtseva emigrated to France from Gumilyov’s students. The best poets of the Russian emigration G. Ivanov and G. Adamovich developed acmeistic principles: restraint, muffled intonation, expressive asceticism, subtle irony. IN Soviet Russia the manner of acmeists (mainly N. Gumilyov) was imitated by Nik. Tikhonov, I. Selvinsky, M. Svetlov, E. Bagritsky.
    • Acmeism also had a significant impact on the author's song.
    • Acmeism united dissimilar creative individualities, manifested itself in various ways in the “spiritual objectivity” of A. Akhmatova, the “distant wanderings” of M. Gumilyov, and the poetry of O. Mandelstam’s reminiscences.
    • The role of acmeism is in an effort to maintain a balance between symbolism, on the one hand, and realism, on the other.
    • In the work of acmeists, there are numerous points of contact with symbolists and realists (especially with the Russian psychological novel of the 19th century), but in general, representatives of acmeism found themselves in the “middle of contrast”, not slipping into metaphysics, but not “mooring to the ground”.

    Acmeism as a literary trend Lukyanova S.E.

    Acmeism arose as a reaction to symbolism. Acmeism is a modernist trend (from the Greek akme - a point, a peak, the highest degree, a pronounced quality), declaring a concrete-sensory perception of the outside world, returning the word to its original, non-symbolic meaning.

    The basic principles of acmeism: the liberation of poetry from symbolist appeals to the ideal, the return of clarity to it; rejection of mystical nebula, acceptance of the earthly world in its diversity, visible concreteness, sonority, colorfulness; the desire to give the word a specific, precise meaning; objectivity and clarity of images, sharpness of details; an appeal to a person, to the "authenticity" of his feelings; poetization of the world of primordial emotions, the primitive biological natural principle; echoes of past literary epochs, the broadest aesthetic associations, “longing for world culture”.

    A. Akhmatova (Gorenko) B. Pasternak I. Anensky G. Ivanov N. Gumilyov O. Mandelstam

    At the beginning of his creative way young poets, future acmeists, were close to symbolism, attended "Ivanovo environments" - literary meetings in the St. Petersburg apartment of Vyach. Ivanov, called the "tower". In the "tower" classes were held with young poets, where they studied versification. In October 1911, the students of this "poetry academy" founded a new literary association "Poets' Workshop". The workshop was a school of professional skill, and young poets N. Gumilyov and S. Gorodetsky became its leaders. In January 1913, they published the declarations of the acmeist group in the Apollo magazine. S. Gorodetsky N. Gumilyov

    “Some currents in modern Russian poetry” “The struggle between acmeism and symbolism ... is, first of all, the struggle for this world, sounding, colorful, having shapes, weight and time ...” “the world is irrevocably accepted by acmeism, in the totality of beauties and ugliness”

    The new trend was given another interpretation - Adamism, which implies "a courageously firm and clear outlook on life." This view is clarified in the poem by S. Gorodetsky "Adam"

    Adam Forgive me, captivating moisture And primeval fog! In a transparent wind there is more good For the countries created for life. The world is spacious and polyphonic And it is more colorful than rainbows, And here it is entrusted to Adam, the Inventor of names. Name, learn, rip off the veils And idle secrets and decrepit haze - This is the first feat. A new feat - To sing praises to the Living Earth.

    Acmeists are interested in the real, and not the other world, the beauty of life in its concrete sensual manifestations. Nebula and hints of symbolism were opposed by a major perception of reality, the authenticity of the image, and the clarity of the composition.

    To OE Mandelstam He believes in weight, he honors space, He dearly loves material. He did not reproach the substance For slowness and constancy. Stanzas obedient quadriga - He loves, violently dispersed, Stop. And in this he is right, That in eternity he is submissive to the moment.

    N.S. Gumilyov The hero of N. Gumilyov is a traveler, a conquistador, a man of strong will. Gumilyov's poetry contains romantic motifs, geographical and historical exoticism. An exotic detail sometimes plays a purely pictorial role.

    Today, I see your eyes are especially sad, And your hands are especially thin, hugging your knees. Listen: far, far away, on Lake Chad Exquisite, a giraffe roams. Graceful slenderness and bliss is given to him, And his skin is adorned with a magical pattern, With which only the moon dares to equal, Shattering and swaying on the moisture of wide lakes. In the distance it is like the colored sails of a ship, And its flight is smooth, like a joyful bird's flight. I know that the earth sees many wonderful things, When at sunset he hides in a marble grotto. I know funny fairy tales mysterious countries About the black maiden, about the passion of the young leader, But you inhaled the heavy fog for too long, You don't want to believe in anything but rain. And how can I tell you about a tropical garden, About slender palm trees, about the smell of unimaginable herbs... - Are you crying? Listen... far away, on Lake Chad Exquisite, a giraffe roams. Giraffe

    Anna Akhmatova A. Akhmatova is alien to the exotic. The meaning of her life is love. Feelings are reflected in the objective world, in everyday details, in a psychologically significant gesture. The outside world, everyday details have become the subject of poetry

    The pillow is already hot On both sides. Here is the second candle Extinguishes and the cry of the crows Becomes more and more audible. I didn't sleep that night, It's too late to think about sleep... How unbearably white is the Curtain on the white window. Hello!

    The acmeist current existed for about two years (1913-1914). The creative searches of poets went beyond the framework of acmeism. The humanistic meaning of this trend was significant - to revive a person's thirst for life, to return a sense of its beauty.

    Western European and domestic origins of acmeism The initiator of this peculiar "shop" of poets was Pushkin himself. Speaking as a faithful follower of the work of Peter the Great, Pushkin in almost every verse testifies to the deepest knowledge and the most subtle understanding of the national poetic element of each people. Pushkin's miracle could not be realized without a strong impetus from the dominant culture of that time, that is, French culture. Are not Voltaire and even Parny, not to mention Molière, Racine, Corneille, François Villon, the nameless authors of folk epic songs, Pushkin's creative exciters on a par with Derzhavin and Batyushkov, or with fairy tales and legends of Russian folklore? Modernists open new Europe; they are attracted especially by France, but they are also receptive to the call of Africa and Asia, ancient historical and even prehistoric times.

    Western European and domestic origins of acmeism In the first collection of poems, The Path of the Conquistadors, Gumilyov fails to hide his dependence on those poets who too clearly influence his style: Bryusov and Balmont among Russians, and among French poets grouped around Modern Parnassus, in features of Ch. Leconte de Lisle and J. M. Heredia. The very image of the conquistador must have arisen in his mind when he saw a portrait of Heredia, one of his then most beloved poets, in luxurious sham armor of a conquistador. Critics have repeatedly noted that, as a poet, Gumilyov performed under a mask. And I am in the family of the hippopotamus: Dressed in the armor of my shrines, I walk solemnly and straight Without fear in the middle of the deserts. These verses from Theophile Gauthier's Miscellaneous Poems, masterfully translated by Gumilyov, could serve as an epigraph to his entire life.

    Origins of acmeism
    In 1910, M. Kuzmin appeared in the Apollo magazine with an article “On Beautiful Clarity”, which anticipated the appearance of declarations of acmeism. By the time the article was written, Kuzmin was already a mature person, he had experience of cooperation in symbolist periodicals. Otherworldly and foggy revelations of the Symbolists, "incomprehensible and dark in art" Kuzmin opposed "beautiful clarity", "clarism" (from the Greek clarus - clarity).

    slide 11

    From N. Gumilyov's article "The Legacy of Symbolism and Acmeism":
    “Symbolism is being replaced by a new direction, no matter how it is called, whether acmeism (from the word akme - the highest degree of something, blooming time) or adamism (a courageously firm and clear outlook on life), in any case, requiring a greater balance of power and a more precise knowledge of the relationship between subject and object than was the case in symbolism. However, in order for this trend to assert itself in its entirety and be a worthy successor to the previous one, it must accept its legacy and answer all the questions it posed. The glory of the ancestors obliges, and symbolism was a worthy father.

    slide 12

    From the article by S. Gorodetsky "Some currents in modern Russian poetry"
    S. Gorodetsky believed that “symbolism… having filled the world with “correspondences”, turned it into a phantom, important only insofar as it… shines through other worlds, and belittled its high intrinsic value. Among the Acmeists, the rose again became good in itself, with its petals, smell and color, and not with its conceivable similarities with mystical love or anything else.

    Basic principles of acmeism:
    the liberation of poetry from symbolist appeals to the ideal, the return of clarity to it; rejection of mystical nebula, acceptance of the earthly world in its diversity, visible concreteness, sonority, colorfulness; the desire to give the word a specific, precise meaning; objectivity and clarity of images, sharpness of details; an appeal to a person, to the "authenticity" of his feelings; poetization of the world of primordial emotions, the primitive biological natural principle; echoes of past literary epochs, the broadest aesthetic associations, “longing for world culture”.

    "Workshop of poets" was founded in October 1911 in St. Petersburg
    The group was headed by N. Gumilyov and S. Gorodetsky. The group also included A. Akhmatova, G. Adamovich, K. Vaginov, M. Zenkevich, G. Ivanov, V. Lozinsky, O. Mandelstam, V. Narbut, I. Odoevtseva, O. Otsup, V. Rozhdestvensky. "Tsekh" published the journal "Hyperborey".

    In the early 1910s (circa 1911–1912), a narrower and aesthetically more cohesive group of poets emerged from a wide circle of participants in the “Workshop”, who began to call themselves acmeists. The group included N. Gumilyov, A. Akhmatova, O. Mandelstam, S. Gorodetsky, M. Zenkevich, V. Narbut (other members of the "Workshop", among them G. Adamovich, G. Ivanov, M. Lozinsky, constituted the periphery currents).
    At the meetings of the "Tsekh", in contrast to the meetings of the Symbolists, specific issues were resolved: the "Tsekh" was a school for mastering poetic skills, a professional association.

    Acmeism as a literary trend united exceptionally gifted poets - Gumilyov, Akhmatova, Mandelstam, whose creative individualities were formed in the atmosphere of the "Poets' Workshop". The history of acmeism can be viewed as a kind of dialogue between these three prominent representatives of it. At the same time, the Adamism of Gorodetsky, Zenkevich and Narbut, who made up the naturalistic wing of the current, differed significantly from the “pure” acmeism of the above-mentioned poets. The difference between the Adamists and the triad of Gumilyov - Akhmatova - Mandelstam has been repeatedly noted in criticism.

    The fate of the poets
    The creative fates of poets, one way or another connected with acmeism, developed in different ways: N. Klyuev subsequently declared his non-participation in the activities of the community; G. Ivanov and G. Adamovich continued and developed many principles of acmeism in exile; Acmeism did not have any noticeable influence on V. Khlebnikov. IN Soviet time the poetic manner of the acmeists (mainly N. Gumilyov) was imitated by N. Tikhonov, E. Bagritsky, I. Selvinsky, M. Svetlov.

    Meaning
    Acmeism proved to be extremely fruitful for Russian literature. Akhmatova and Mandelstam managed to leave behind "eternal words." Gumilyov appears in his poems as one of the brightest personalities of the cruel time of revolutions and world wars. And today, a century later, interest in acmeism has been preserved mainly because the work of these outstanding poets, who had a significant impact on the fate of Russian poetry of the 20th century, is associated with it.
