V. P. Grigoriev, bread specialist and bread grower

Last week, sad news came: Viktor Petrovich Grigoriev (1925 - 2007), philologist, patriarch of bread studies and the linguistic study of poetry in general, chief researcher at the Russian Language Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, died. V. P. Grigoriev did more than anyone else to understand Velimir Khlebnikov as a language creator and as the “Einstein of literature,” the discoverer of new dimensions of the word. V.P. Grigoriev not only studied Khlebnikov, he himself was a Velimirite, he wanted the world to follow Khlebnikov, so that there would always be a place for heroism and creativity in the language. His latest book, “ Velimir Khlebnikov in the Four-Dimensional Space of Language ” (2006), defends the principles of “imaginary philology” (his term) and proposes adding a fourth to the three well-known dimensions of language: heuristics. Signs relate not only to signifieds (semantics), to each other (syntactics), to users (pragmatics), but also to the linguistic environment from which they are produced and created (heuristics). Since the term “heuristics” has already been captured (in the meaning of “methodology of scientific discovery, invention”), one could talk about semiurgy, about sign creation as the fourth dimension of language. V. P. Grigoriev was the founder of this heuristic or semiurgic approach to the language of Russian poetry of the 20th century. Blessed memory to him!

Topic of the week: mental and physical intimacy

February 14th is St. Valentine's Day. Valentine - according to tradition, is a holiday for all lovers and lovers. I congratulate the readers on this holiday and dedicate the words of today’s issue to it.

How to name a person close to you, without going into details and formal signs of this closeness and at the same time noting the uniqueness of this person in your life, the necessity of his presence? About such a person with whom you form one whole, we can say: co-human .

Sochelovek is a close person with whom you feel your inseparability.

Cohumanity is a deep correlation, the unity of two personalities.

A co-person is not just a friend: there can be many friends, and from time to time old friendships end and new ones are formed. A co-person is the closest and most significant person, the one with whom the speaker is, as it were, a two-person person. This is such a degree of internal community, empathy, conscience, co-existence that one can say: I can be completely human, reveal and realize myself only together with this other person, in a relationship with him. Co-humanity is a constant co-belonging, co-openness of two personalities. A co-human is a special position in existence that does not coincide with any other position: spouse, friend, lover. It happens that spouses are not co-humans, and it happens that a co-human is not only not a spouse, but not even a lover. There is no barrier to fellow humanity: neither spatial, nor gender, nor age. Young and old can be co-humans, just like people living on opposite sides of the planet.

In all the diversity of human relationships, for some reason such a position, “title” - co-human - does not stand out. Who is he to you? Buddy, friend, lover? - No, just my man. Co-human.

Who am I to her? Not a husband, not a brother... Just a fellow man. It sounds humble.

He has a wife and three mistresses, but no co-person , which is why he rushes about.

The word “ co-human ” is not new, but well forgotten. It was used in the late 18th - early 19th centuries among the Freemasons; it is found among A.N. Radishchev, N.M. Karamzin and V.T. Narezhny. Perhaps it appeared as a tracing paper from the German “Mitmensch”, which, in particular, is found in F. Schiller. But its meaning then was somewhat different: a co-man is a fellow human being. This is not about the co-humanity of two, pre-elected, created for each other, but about the fact that all people are co-humans, accomplices in the human race. For example, Karamzin: “Would I be the elder brother of all my brothers and sisters , and would they listen to their elder brother...” (“Miscellaneous passages”). In a letter from I.V. Lopukhin to A.M. Kutuzov (both Masons): “... people who want to selflessly satisfy the positions of a Christian, a loyal subject, a son of the fatherland and a fellow man " (November 28, 1790). V. T. Narezhny: "Oh, how sad it is for anyone, not to mention a sensitive person, to see that a fellow man perishes , according to God's providence, equipped by nature
very sufficient talents, and therefore an indisputable right to happiness!" ("Garkusha, Little Russian Robber", 1825).

The word “co-human” at one time was not included in the dictionaries of the Russian Academy, even in the most complete dictionary of 1847. A brief note on the history of this word is in the books by V.V. Vinogradov “ History of the Russian Literary Language ” and “History of Words”.

The transitional moment in the semantic evolution of this word: from “brother to all people” to “the only close, irreplaceable” - in the story “The Department” by I. Grekova (1978):

“My whole problem is that I don’t have a co-man (Mitmensch in German is “neighbor”, literally “ co-man ”). But I had co-humans . How and when did I lose them? Wherever I am, my position is honorable, but unique. I I am not an ordinary member of any team.... But I am alone, I exist in a single copy.”

Along with the deeply spiritual, holistic concept of co-humanity , we can also designate the concept of cogeneration , when two people feel like one body, one flesh.

consistency - bodily unity, the feeling of being one flesh with another.

sotElo , nozzle - a dear, close body that you feel as your own.

She and I have been married for a long time and feel each other even at a distance.

, You can’t escape your flesh just like you can’t escape your own arm or leg: it has grown into you.

Love intimacy has the amazing property of shaping the flesh of those who love, i.e. create a new bisexual integrity from them. Carl Jung has the concepts of "anima" and "animus", which represent the female archetype in the psyche of a man and the masculine archetype in the psyche of a woman. Anima is the unconscious image of a woman that lives in the soul of every man and is projected onto the figures of surrounding women.

But along with “anima” there is also a corporation . This is a psycho-image of the beloved body with which I merge in desire and pleasure - a kind of sensually projected alien “altra ego”, the female other of my flesh, the other half of my androgyne. In the same way, as a woman reaches puberty, a corpus is formed in her body, her male other, alter ego, which is projected onto her lovers. The terms “corpora” and “corporus” (corpora, corporus) are formed by analogy with “anima” and “animus” from the Latin corpus - “body”, “flesh” (genus corporis; corporare, to embody, to clothe with flesh).

Corporus (corporus) - sensual projection and psycho-image of the male body in a woman.

Corpora (corpora) - sensual projection and psycho-image of the female body in a man.

The corpus and corpus are especially strongly manifested in the tactile-kinesthetic sphere, as a feeling of warmth, heaviness, elasticity, flexibility, as a kind of tactile-thermal cast of another body, actually absent, but organically co-existing with me, molded or molded with mine.

body cast - one body as a cast of another, molded together with it.

The love androgyne, unlike the mythical one, is not a “two-backed monster” (I. Brodsky), an independent bisexual creature, but is a combination of corpus and corpora , i.e. psycho-images of two bodies, as they are present in the system of mutual sensory needs and orientations. This connection with one’s other body can act (unilaterally or bilaterally) and at a distance, as in I. Brodsky’s famous poem “From Nowhere with Love” (1975). The lover is separated from his beloved by half of his life and half of the planet, and yet, “wriggling on the sheet at night,” he repeats her features with his whole body, like a “mad mirror,” i.e. is still in an androgynous union with her corporation .

Far away, late at night, in the valley, at the very bottom,
in a town covered in snow up to the door handle,
squirming on the sheets at night,
as not stated below, at least
I fluff up my pillow with a humming "you"
behind the mountains, which have no end,
in the dark your whole body features
repeating like a crazy mirror.

Perhaps every man and woman has his own sotelo , his own image of the other, which is perceived by the nerves and muscles even in the absence of this other as “phantom joy”, “phantom pleasure” (just as there is “phantom pain”). At the same time, the real beloved is in a complex relationship with his psycho-image, the body cast , often not matching him, but the irony of this discrepancy can increase desire. The corpus in a man and the corpus in a woman are not just other-sex archetypes of physicality, but, as it were, a “second flesh” growing into the first, with its own nerves, muscles, rhythms, tactile and spatial orientations.

Aphorism

I didn't know I loved you until I heard myself tell you so. For a second I thought, “Oh my God, what am I saying!” - and suddenly I realized that this was true.

Memo

love is the state of being loved; love as a cosmic element and dimension.

fell upon him Then a great love - sleepy, dreamy. “Dope,” he called it to himself. It’s not that he loved anyone, but his heart asked for love, and not even love, but some kind of boundless love : beloved and loving faces, eyes, voices...

The gaze is directed into the distance, the mind into the depths, and the heart into love.

Jealous calls, almost daily attempts to sort things out and take stock are a thing of the past. Georgy pulled himself together, and now there is peace and love in his heart

Love is when I don’t love, but I love , when my heart wants and can love. “And the heart burns again and loves because it cannot help but love” - this is love , which precedes love and embraces it, just as possibility precedes its incarnation. “Perhaps a whisper was already born before the lips” (O. Mandelstam). Perhaps, before love, which needs the beloved, the soul is sent love , which needs only the lover, his ability and need to love.

Where the Great Guba has been for centuries
She took cities by pestilence,
Suddenly Great Love came
Kill the poison or kill the lion -
You will never die.

network project Mikhail Epstein's "The Gift of Words" has been published since April 2000. Every week, subscribers are sent several new words, with definitions and examples of use. These words are not in any dictionary, and yet they denote significant phenomena and concepts for which there has not yet been a place in the language and public consciousness. "Dar" also conducts discussions about the Russian language, discusses letters and suggestions from readers. “The Gift” can serve as a guide to word creation, an introduction to the world of linguistic fantasies and mental technologies.
