Abstract
Сучасна популярна, жанрова і позажанрова література, а також інші види мистецтва покладають в основу своїх творів плюральну структуру художнього Всесвіту. Проте бачення Універсуму як множини є традицією, що тягнеться до середньовіччя й далі. У статті розкрито парадигму розвитку явища плюральних світів у теології, філософії, модальній логіці й літературознавстві, а також виокремлено головні принципи конструювання множинного художнього Всесвіту. Результати дослідження оприявлено за допомогою текстів Льюїса Керрола "Аліса в Країні Див" і "Аліса в Задзеркаллі", де множинні світи не лише мають декоративну функцію, а й виконують ідентифікаційну роль і на персональному рівні, і на рівні окремого світу.
We are living in the Multiverse realized in artistic phenomena, ontological states, revolutionary scientific discoveries and assumptions, and other areas of being. For instance, contemporary popular and nongenre literature base on the plural structure of the fictional Universe. Interpersonal conflicts escalated into interworld battles, interplanetary collisions have become the base of the fantasy genre, and hidden parallel dimensions are more and more often collapsing in various forms and interpretations. Despite the fact that multiple Universe structure has a form and appearance of modern artifact, the vision of the Universe as a plurality is a deep and ancient tradition that stretches us back to the Middle Ages and beyond. The Medieval period marks the time of development of typography which made it possible to fix the contemporary worldview in a clearer way. The investigations of Nicholas of Cusa, Giordano Bruno, and other thinkers opened the closed structure of the Universe, assuming an existence of infinity of the worlds. The literature of the Middle Ages represented the worlds’ plurality in a similar way but due to the theological foundations of the epoch. The ideology was based on the duality and contrasting of antonymous principles such as Heaven and Hell, Light and Dark, Spiritual and Physical, Sacred and Sinful. One of the basic values of the Middle Ages lies in the establishing of the divine and spiritual as an "objective" form of reality. The current article reveals the paradigm of the development of the phenomenon of plural worlds in theology, philosophy, modal logic, and literature studies. Also, it highlights the main principles of multiple fictional Universe constructing. Lewis Carroll’s "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" brightly reflect the multiple worlds’ structure. Considering all features of the principles of this plurality, we obtained the conclusions which demonstrate the function of multiple worlds, which not only discovers it in a decorative way but also has an identifying role at the personal level and at the level of the individual world.
