Struktura poeticheskogo simvola u Andreja Gubera (1927): mezhdu semantikoj e ritorikoj

This paper describes an important aspect of Russian aesthetic discussions of the 1920s, focusing on “The Structure of the Poetic Symbol,” Andrei Guber’s contribution to the volume Artistic Form (1927), which was a collective volume assembled at the State Academy of Artistic Sciences (GAKhN). The theoretical and terminological basis of Guber’s essay is analyzed. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate that the theories developed by Gustav Shpet and those who worked under his guidance at the GAKhN in the late 1920s anticipate in many respects subsequent directions in the study of literature, from structuralism to semiotics to narratology.
