СРЕДНОВЕКОВНАТА ПОЕТИКА ВО КОНТЕКСТОТ НА КНИЖЕВНИОТ КАНОН
MEDIEVAL POETICS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE LITERARY CANON

Summary/Abstract: Medieval poetics is a historical, creative and expressive realization of forms and methods that are manifested in the medieval literature (from the second half of the 7th century until the first half of the 15th century). The stylistic expression had one major function – the reflection of civilized and cultural experiences originating in the Byzantine creative cliché, which were used as sources by most of the South Slavic literacy traditions. The discourse which characterized the typological poetic breakthroughs, first played a literary-creative function in order to succumb the traditional ancient poetic experiences through their identification with Christianity as a model of religious manifestation and as a form of philosophical thinking and living culture. Between the 9th and the mid-15th century, when the Slavic factor gained an official collective spiritual and cultural identity, the global ideological and creative concept was supported continuously as an established standard in the Byzantine literature. The same form was manifested creatively in many South Slavic literature contexts through divergence of the Slavic linguistics authenticity. What followed was a process of massive translations of Byzantine authors to literary old churchSlavic language, while simultaneously original Slavic texts were created. The literature of this period was not mainly religious lacking invention, because religion in its essence expresses lyrical sensations, through which theological and ritualistic elements blended into esthetics. These literary works were used for typologizing concrete norms or standards of poetics, built and created on the basis of the philosophical assumptions for the soteriological perception of man, but also on his role to discover authentic forms and methods for creative transfer.
