ARCHETYPICAL MYTHOLOGEME “ME / NOT ME / THE OTHER” IN THE CHILDHOOD’S ARTISTIC WORLD OF A VILLAGE PROSE (V. P. ASTAFYEV “THE FARAWAY AND NEARBY TALE”)

Abstract

The article examines the peculiarities of using archetypical mythologeme “Me/ Not Me / The Other” in the story by V. P. Astafyev “The Faraway and Nearby Tale” as a means to discover the process of self-identification in the childhood. In the artistic space of the story the author distinguishes the typical for the childhood three stages in understanding Not Me: “We (children) / Not We”, “Me / Grandmother / Not Me”, “Me / Not Me”. The paper identifies two approaches to presenting the model for understanding Not Me and his transformation into the Other.
