Тимур и его arcana: социально-антропологическое значение советской "революции детства" в 1920-30-е годы

Аннотация

The article shows the role of the Soviet literature for children in Russian anthropological 'revolution of childhood' in the 1920-30s. The author analyzes concepts of Russian Rousseauism and demonstrates how theoretical focus shifts from peasant image to images of child and animal. The article dwells on two strategic approaches to literature for children in the 1920s (didactic and ludic), exposes the relation of these approaches to the conflict of 'psychologism' and 'cinematographism'. Based on Arkadiy Gaidar's story 'Timur and his sqaud' the author shows how the concept of consolidating secret offered by the Soviet writer is opposed to the political regime of arcane imperii, namely deconsolidating 81 secret. Thus the article reveals the constructive role of Soviet literature for children in maintaining social solidarity in the age of Stalin's first conservative revolution.
