Abstract
The article opens a cycle of publications devoted to the debatable problem of interaction between modern literature and folklore. A particular example - the work of the writer and screenwriter A. Rubanov, actualizes an important area of philological research: folklorism of literature in the intermedia era. The desire to comprehend the existing trends within the framework of this literary process paradigm involves the analysis of representative texts, the novel “Finist the Bright Falcon” being its sample. The writer draws the images, plot, motifs from the fairy-tale-mythological fund, setting the ethical and aesthetic coordinate system. He uses the resources of artistic expression, which are characteristic not only of literature, but also of cinema: a folk tale becomes a series, based on the fairy tale motifs, while the representation of folklore images makes the reader perceive the type of folklorism, revealed in Rubanov’s text, as art-folklorism. Its characteristic feature is the author’s use of the folklore source and the actualization of the folklore principle in literature in a special way, namely, based on the codes of other types of art – painting, music, cinema, etc. This type of assimilation of folklore material demonstrates the permeability of the boundaries not only of folklore and literature, but also of art in general.
