The village chronotope in the artistic world of neorealism (on the material of the writers of Lanka)

Abstract

The article deals with such characteristics of rural chronotope as agriculture, patriarchal character, religiousness, naturalness. The research establishes two forms of rural chronotope realization in neo-realist texts. In the first one – the rural space is combined with historical household time and and this chronotope shows decline of traditional values (agriculture, patriarchal character) therefore it is marked by catas-trophism. The second form of rural chronotopeis created by household time and con-centration on a concept of naturalness.
