INTERACTION OF GENRE SYSTEMS AS A PROBLEM OF LITERARY STUDY

The article raises the conceptual problem of a genre system and the interaction of genre systems in literature. Based on the analysis of educational and reference publications in literary studies, the authors state the necessity of a clearer definition of the term "genre system" and the separation of this term from the concept of "genre classification". Using the concept of genre systems of Nonna Kopystyanska, the authors propose to make clarifications, in particular to supplement it with one more component – the genre system of national literature. " The goal of the study is the understanding of the interaction of genre systems at different levels: the genre system of the author, the genre system of the movement / era, national literature and on a global scale – of the West and the East in their interaction. Using examples from different national literatures and cultural-historical eras, the processes of influence of the author’s system of genres on genre systems of a higher level are considered – within one national culture and in an international context. At the same time, not only literary peculiarities are taken into consideration, but also cultural, ideological, etc. The use of a hermeneutic approach with the involvement of wider contexts, cultural-historical, psychological methods, as well as induction and deduction makes it possible to consider the problem from smaller findings to broader phenomena and generalizations and vice versa – from the general to the singular; the involvement of methods of system analysis enables to present this problem multifacetedly and taking into account broad cultural and temporal strata. The conclusions state that examples of numerous interactions, bring research to a higher level – between spheres of greater generalization outside the boundaries of literature, which in the future can be the subject of a separate scientific investigation.
