Šiame straipsnyje yra aptariami įvairūs imperinio diskurso suvokimo ir analizės būdai šiuolaikiniuose rusų kultūros tyrinėjimuose. Trumpai pristačius Michelio Foucault ir Edwardo Saido esmines sąvokas, turėjusias įtakos pokolonijinėms studijoms ir rusų kultūros tyrimams, pereinama prie Ewos M. Thompson, Aleksandro Etkindo, Susan Layton, Andrejaus Zorino, Richardo Wortmano ir Harsha Ramo darbų. Imperinio diskurso sąvoka juose aprašo kultūros arba literatūrinio teksto santykį su specifiniu istoriniu kontekstu, įvardijamu kaip imperinis. Teksto ir imperinio konteksto santykis yra nevienalytis ir atskleidžiamas įvairiais lygmenimis: analizuojant Rusijos imperinio dvaro ceremonialą, literatūrines reprezentacijas, ideologinių simbolių funkcionavimą, taip pat žanrinės poetikos ir lyrinio subjekto ypatumus. Bendras šių rusų kultūros ir literatūros tyrinėjimų bruožas – tyrimas ne tiek represinių (išskyrus Ewą Thompson), kiek konstruktyvių imperinio diskurso aspektų, kurie atskleidžia naujas teksto reikšmes, taip pat papildo supratimą apie rusų rašytojų ir veikėjų kultūrinės tapatybės formavimąsi.
The dissertation is devoted to the question how the nation is "imagined" in Nikolaj Karamzin's works of the small genre. Unlike the existing tradition of researches of the problematics of the nation in Karamzin's works, in this doctoral thesis attention is focused not on the set of his ideas, or on analysis of the concept of the nation, but on the poetics of the nation his texts on their own. The main elements of the poetics of the nation are considered to be space, time and emotions, whose meanings are systematically analyzed in Karamzin's panegyric, political and prose fiction texts. Such study perspective allows revealing a connection between aesthetic dimension of the text and his political "imagination". It is shown that the meaning of the elements of the poetics of the nation is defined through the categories of the sublime and the beautiful (understood basing on Edmund Burke's aesthetics) that, in turn, are related to realistic and utopian tendency in Karamzin's political "imagination". Besides, the work highlights the peculiarities of the interrelation between the poetics of the nation and the empire in his texts. It has an interdisciplinary character, because it draws on different approaches applied in various areas of science (history of ideas and emotions, aesthetics, political theory) directly or indirectly related to analysis of the problematics of the nation. The dissertation uses the constructivist approach and structural method of analysis.

Depending on the goal set forth by different researchers one can find different methodological approaches to the heritage of Nikolay Karamzin, including his publicistic-critical works, which mainly were studied from the point of view of the history of ideas, social-cultural models and cultural semiotics.This article aims at showing the structure of meanings or, in other words, the organization of content in Nikolay Karamzin's "Letter to Editor" (the introductory article to "Vestnik Evropy", the very influential first Russian journal with political position independent from official circles) with the use of semiotical methodology worked out by A.-J. Greimas, focusing on the text itself and leaving the extratextual elements outside investigation.By analyzing of discursive and narrative levels of the text and the situation of énonciación the following conclusion was made: in comparison to Europe Russia appears to be young, powerful, gifted but lacking important spiritual/cultural competence (general name for this competence "taste" is still in the stage of development) in order to become equal to elder Europe and to become consolidated/united/Russian subject on the level of feelings or spirituality, in other words to become nation. Literature and publishing of the journal serve as very important means in this process: the journal in which it was refused from the section of critique is prescribed to bring into effect paternalistic, gentil, regardful function, becouse the opposite function – severe critique – could be harmful to Russian subject. ; . ; В зависимости от целей, которые ставили перед собой разные исследователи, можно обнаружить различные подходы к наследию Николая Карамзина, в том числе и к его публицистическим и критическим работам, которые, в основном, изучались с точки зрения истории идей, социо-культурных моделей и семиотики культуры.Цель статьи – показать структуру значений или, другими словами, способ организации содержания в «Письме к издателю» (вступительная статья к «Вестнику Европы», первому в России весьма влиятельному журналу с независимой от официальных кругов политической позицией) с помощью семиотической методологии, выработанной А. Ж. Греймасом, сфокусировав внимание на самом тексте и оставляя его внетекстовые элементы за границами исследования.В результате анализа дискурсивного и нарративного уровней текста и повествовательной ситуации (énonciación) был сделан следующий вывод: по сравнению с Европой, Россия оказывается молодой, могущественной, одаренной (державой), однако ей не хватает важной духовной/культурной компетенции («вкус» – общее названия для этой компетенции – все еще находится на стадии развития), чтобы стать равной старшей Европе и превратиться в консолидированного/единого/Российского субъекта на уровне чувств, духовности или, другими словами, на уровненации. Литература и издание журнала являются важными средствами в этом процессе: журналу, в котором издатель отказывается от критики, приписывается отеческая мягкая охранительная функция, поскольку противоположная функция – строгая критика – могла бы оказаться вредной для Российского субъекта.
