“Стихи, ставшие вещью”: поэтика Даниила Хармса в культурном контексте эпохи

The paper analyses the concept of “thing” (“veshch'”) as it is used in the poetics of Kharms and Oberiu, but also in the discourse on aesthetics in the first decades of the nineteenth century. Also discussed is Kharms's use of “object” (“predmet”), which is connected with the phenomenological tradition (mediated by Ia.S. Druskin). In the final analysis the “thing” belongs to the plane of a “first reality”, whereas the “object” belongs to a “real reality”.
