Rhizome and Network Concepts: Innovations in Modernist and Post-modernist Anglophone Writing and New Music
Abstract
This research aims to show the importance of paradigm change consideration and it’s direct pertinence to to post-structuralist philosophy as well as the French poststruсturalist Gilles Deleuze; in particular his idea of rhizome as related to network concepts through the process of revealing innovations in modernist and postmodern poetry and prose (the example chosen is the poetry by T. S. Eliot, the prose by J. Winterson). Rhizome and network concepts are directly related to a contemporary view from the state-of the art paradigm associated with cultural and social development and often viewed as applicable to the study of literary texts. The chosen methodology includes the structural semantic study of literary texts and the analysis of the views on the innovations in modernist and postmodern poetry. The results of the research allow us to hypothesize that postmodern philosophy is directly applicable to the study of modernist (as well as post-modernist and contemporary literary texts) if not social processes. One of the possible examples could be seen in the development of poetic paradigm with modernist (and post-modernist) writing which uses language as a medium, when a poem becomes a means of expressing the transcendental and actualizing the network concept. Rhizome and network concepts allow one to see common patterns of development and innovation of poetic, literary, cultural, and philosophic scenes; characteristics of the contemporary aesthetic paradigm. An important part of this research is the comparison of the language of music and literary texts, finding common patterns of their development.
