Note sul tema: Osip Mandel’štam e la Crimea

Abstract

This article is devoted to the presence of Crimea in the works by Osip Mandel’shtam. Here Crimea is not considered as a theme, with or without reference to the author’s biography. The aim is to highlight the function of this region as a catalyst for an original conception of both space and time in Mandel’shtam’s art. The astonishing syncretism of space and time in the so-called ‘Hellenic-Crimean cycle’ of Tristia; the connection between time and poetic creation, which is one of the fundamental concepts in the article Slovo i kul’tura; the reflections on Russian language as a ‘Hellenic language’ as expressed in O prirode slova; ‘panchronism’ of historical and poetic phenomena, which is a key idea in Razgovor o Dante: these are all elements that are connected more or less directly to the image of Crimea and to the ‘cultural chronotope’ represented by it.
