Khrenov, N. A. Russian Art at the Turn of the 19th – 20th Centuries
and its Role in Synthesis of Western and Eastern
Cultures
Abstract:
This article is an attempt to understand that
the term ‘collective unconsciousness’ means in terms of
Russian culture. The author associates this term with
Scythianism which grew popular at the turn of the 19th –
20th centuries (which is well illustrated by a famous poem
written by Alexander Blok). Among Russian philosophers
Europeanists were the fi rst ones to decode the meaning
behind the ‘Scythianistic’ spirits which were so typical for
that epoch. Analyzing the creative work by various artists
at the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries the author describes
how the Russian culture developed from Europeanism to
Eurocentrism. The central theme of the article is a growing
interest towards the East which results in a more intensive
variant of on-going synthesis of cultures.
Keywords:
cultural studies, collective consciousness, Europeanism, Eurocentrism, synthesis of cultures, Scythianism, Axial Age, prasymbol, Modern and Post- Modern, Romanticism and Symbolism, ‘ours’ and ‘the others’ in culture.
