| Summary: | The relevance of the research lies in the fact that artistic time and artistic space are two of the most
important literary categories that provide a complete perception of the picture of the world created by the author. This is
because not a single work of art can exist in a vacuum. The work examines the theoretical framework and categorization of
space and time, emphasizing their application and expression within literary texts. The study extends beyond existing
descriptive analyses by critically evaluating the synthesis of space and time as central to narrative construction. The
methodological approach combines structural-semantic analysis, comparative evaluation, empirical observation, and
conceptual frameworks to provide a comprehensive understanding of these literary categories. This analysis identifies artistic
time and space as pivotal elements that transcend their function as narrative tools, asserting their role as dynamic constructs
that shape the conceptual and structural integrity of literary works. By exploring the chronotope – a synthesis of these
categories – this study advances the understanding of how spatio-temporal dimensions underpin narrative progression and
thematic coherence. The spatio-temporal category has several values and a specific purpose, which highlights its unique
function in categorising artistic imagery. Time and space, as textual categories, are structured by the mechanisms of
interpreting reality, acting as a component of the message and the formation of a literary concept. Lexemes become indicators
of conceptually significant information, which allows them to become a substrate of textual meaning. The study concludes
that a deeper understanding of content and structure can be achieved by incorporating knowledge of creative time and place,
which greatly broadens the scope of literary analysis. |
