INTERMEDIAL INTENTIONS OF THE MYTH OF ORPHEUS IN THE CULTURAL CONTEXT OF THE XX AND EARLY XXI CENTURIES

Summary/Abstract: The article explores the tendencies of audio-visual reception of the myth of Orpheus, that have been reflected in the modern culture. The relevance of the work is determined by the interest of various national cultures and historical eras in ancient Greek mythology as a system of cultural codes. The research focuses on the polyvariance of the myth and its intermedial intentions, which together lead to the emergence of a new type of communication and a way of “making a statement”. From this perspective, the myth of Orpheus is considered to be the most representative. The article is aimed at systematizing the main trends in the reference to the “Orphic code” in the cultural space of the XX and early XXI centuries. The methodological base is determined by the specifics of the analysis of syncretic forms of art and the identification of their polycode basis. The study draws a conclusion that the culture of the XX and early XXI centuries saw a gravitation towards the audio-visual models of the embodiment of the myth of Orpheus, which was determined by the intermedial intentions inherent in it and in the “precedent texts”.
