| Summary: | The relevance of the research is determined by the interest of modern literary criticism in the imagological
aspects and the problem of developing a research strategy in relation to this kind of texts. The novelty of the work
is defined by the genre approach to the study of the image of perception of Japan and the Japanese in Russian
pre-revolutionary literature dedicated to the events of the Russian-Japanese war, the introduction of previously
unknown texts into scientific circulation, a comparative analysis of narrative strategies that determine the genre
specificity of each text. The purpose of the work is to explicate the genre originality of works on the RussianJapanese war, which determines the perspective of the pre-revolutionary artistic reception of the image of perception of Japan and the Japanese in Russia. The methodology is based on an interdisciplinary approach that
underpins the imagological paradigm of research. The authors rely on Russian and Chinese works on the history of Japan, Russian-Japanese relations, ethnography of Japan, ethnopsychology, religious studies, on the broad
context of imagological research; apply historical-literary, comparative-historical, immanent analysis methods.
The complex research is based on modern works concerning the problems of genre studies. The article traces
the path of transformation of perceptions of Japan and the Japanese in Russian literature since the middle of the
19th century to the beginning of 20th century which is determined by the genre task of the works: from the first
travelogues to the jingoistic notes in periodicals and further to “pacifist” fiction and post-war artistic experiences –
the spy and detective text by A. I. Kuprin, the military diaries by V. V. Veresaev, a children’s ethnographic story
by I. I. Mitropolsky. We conclude that the tragic and inglorious experience of the Russian-Japanese war pushed
the horizons of not only the scientific comprehension of Japan and the Japanese by Russian scientists but also
giving development to various genres of Russian literature opened the artistic possibilities of new ethnocultural
and ethnopsychological experiences of self-knowledge of Russianness and Russians |
