Summary/Abstract: The authors trace the functioning and interaction of cultural paradigms that determine the time of a long duration. The article discusses some mechanisms of the influence of these paradigms on the modern literary process. The focus of the authors of the article is the study of the literary process by the example of the work of Andrey Platonov and Venedikt Yerofeyev. Analyzed are the prerequisites for changing the boundaries of the dialogue with different cultures, which have become a spiritual reflection of the world-systemic connections of the modern world. The authors trace how spatial, temporal representations and ritual practices are reanimated in the imaginative world of writers, and also study the mechanisms that give rise to deep traditional layers of consciousness, such as trauma, disintegration and drama.The article analyzes the cinematographic adaptation of Polish writer Janusz Wiśniewski’s the most popular novel “Loneliness On The Net”. The director of the interpretation is W. Adamek, the screenwriter is Wiśniewski. Despite this, the film received ambiguous reviews among the audience. The cinematic version of “Loneliness On The Net” is characterized by a fairly free interpretation of the novel’s plot. Although the main theme (loneliness) and heroes are preserved, the final is changed and some accents are shifted in the film. At the same time the director uses rather interesting and unusual techniques for transferring certain details from the language of literature to the language of cinema.
