Глубиннопсихологическое пространство материнского комплекса в творческом сознании Марины Цветаевой (на материале автобиографической прозы)
Deep-psychological space of the mother complex in Marina Tsvetaeva’s creative consciousness (based on the autobiographical prose)

Summary/Abstract: This article, based on the autobiographical prose of Marina Tsvetaeva (in this essays:Mother and Music, The Story of One Dedication, My Pushkin, and Autobiography etc.),attempts to analyze the archetypal motifs, that generate the deep-psychologicalspace of the mother complex in the areas of the writer’s creative consciousness.The methodological and research base of the article are selected issues of analyticalpsychology of Carl Gustav Jung, while its substantive content consists of four mainfragments. In the first one, psychic-existential opposites were identified, closely relatedto the perception of the mother’s image by her firstborn daughter and burdening her withan appropriate complex. The second deals with the dark sides of maternal pedagogy, whichdeepen this complex. The third highlights the positive internal features, that arose duringthe confrontation with the pianist mother of the poet’s daughter, who fought for her owncreative identity. The fourth discusses ways to compensate for the trauma of the mothercomplex. Ambivalent image of the mother, growing to the rank of a powerful symbol, bothaffirmed and demonized, was present in Tsvetaeva’s soul not only during the lifetimeof the mother, but also after her death. A great cognitive and aesthetic value is the processof writer exploring the different archetypal motifs, ultimately guiding the verbalizationof the experience of self-analysis in artistically perfect prose work.
