Abstract

The book focuses on the research of the national (English, Russian, Ukrainian in full and French, German, Polish in part) variants of Romantic Orientalism like the typological-homothetic and also original literature phenomena, which formed in accordance with the imagological paradigm’s similar component parts. Four patterns of the imagological position concerning the Eastern (“of a pilgrim”, “of a traveler”, “of a scientist”, “of an exile person”) and their corresponding models of orintalization were described. The key imagemas of such varieties of the Romanticized Eastern’s geocultural imago, as Egyptian, Indian, Crimean, Steppe were defined. The basic ways of such decorations of Eastern, as “generic”, “fairy-tale and mythological”, “allegorical and symbolical”, “interpretating”, were identified. The special features of romantization of the typical and Oriental perceptions (“East is Exotics”, “East is One’s Own”, “East is an Ancient Own”, “East is a Danger”) were described. The book also presents the specifics of: two ethnotypes (“Cleopatra”, “khan Girej”); ethnographic-anthropological imagemas of “Egyptian character” and “Crimean Tatar character”; the gender imagemas of a topos of harem; the main religious imagemas of Mussulmanic.
