Stylistic synthesis. To the definition of the concept

Abstract

Purpose. The trend of "stylistic synthesis", searching for "coherence" of different stylistic systems are noticed more and more in art studies of recent years. The purpose of this article is to unfold the integrative trends in the style aspect, where the author enters into a dialogue with musical heritage of previous eras. Methodology. The research is conducted through the using of musicology method, based on the theoretical developments of musicologists in the field of artistic outlook, traditions and style. Scientific novelty. The idea of synthesis as a special type of artistic creativity is realized in many aspects in conditions of artistic culture of the beginning of the XXI century. It is the desire to research the achievements of different cultures and epochs, and awareness of the value of centuries-old achievements of national cultures. It is the synthesis of certain types of artistic creativity to the idea of a general synthesis of arts. In the turn of the century the synthesis was fruitful within separate sovereign types of art, creativity of artists, which relied on a wide range of stylistic ideas, inherent in that, completely independent sphere of art, whose representatives they were. For the first time the author proposes her own definition of stylistic synthesis. Conclusions. The article highlights the key features of the process of interaction of style trends among its definitions. The starting positions are historical and cultural process, the plurality of stylistic models, their dissimilarity, and diversity. The process of interaction, "diffusion", penetration and free placement of elements of one model between the elements of another are going next. Finally, synthesis is artistic integrity, as a result of interpenetration and combination of multiple stylistic ideas, refracted through the prism of the "socio-cultural vector", individual and national styles.
