Résumé : | The paper is focused on the notion of Levenskunst. The Russian Symbolist decadents and their successors of the Avant-Garde were taking further the Western (mostly French and English) existing aesthetical paradigm, landing on the remote shores of what might be termed as ‘new somatics’, focused on building up of ‘Homo Somaticos’ of their own culture. That point was developed further in the ideas brought about by the early Russian Revolution, propagating the notions of a ‘life-building’ (zhisnestroitel’stvo) needed in order to facilitate the emergence of a New (Soviet) human being. |
