Topos of childhood and the reception of the "verbal icon" in the poetics of children's stories by A. P. Platonov in the 1920s – 1930s
Abstract
The article examines children's stories of the writer from the standpoint of motivational analysis, supplemented by contextual one. The interaction of Platonov's texts with different contexts and, above all, the Mother of God, made it possible to discover previously unnoticed techniques and the artistic meanings determined by them.
