| Summary: | The article is devoted to the analysis of “food and drinks” symbols used by the authors of urban literary texts in reconstruction of the mythopoetic image of Vladivostok. The novel “Vladivostok-3000” is investigated. The authors consider it as one of the works about Vladivostok, for which the concept of “Vladivostok text” is used, based in turn on the concept of “local text” accepted in the scientific literature. The basic thesis is that one of the characteristics of local (regional, provincial) texts is their myth-generating function - the creation of mythological space, which reflects the features of the region. The novelty of the research is that the images of food and drinks has not been considered before as an element of the Vladivostok text, involved in the formation of the mythopoetic image of the city. On the basis of the novel “Vladivostok-3000,” all language units denoting food and drinks were singled out. The role of the corresponding images in the text is defined: products, dishes and drinks are a marker of the own and others; they act as a means of transformation of the hero; give him strength; symbolically fasten relations between characters; they are part of etiquette; become a bright marker of the fantastic space created by the authors. It is concluded that the images of food and drinks play an important role in the artistic transfer of the specificity of the city (real Vladivostok and fictional Vladivostok-3000), being a necessary element of the Vladivostok text. |
