Word of Daniel the Immured" as a manifesto of the autocracy in Russia of the 12th century
The article deals with the problem of functional and genre belonging of the "Word of Daniel the Immured", and considers the problem of dating the work. We reveal that the semantic "impenetrability" of the "Word" is connected, first, with the phenomenon of the text of the transition period, which determines the ideological and everyday (biographical) concept. It is shown that the "Word" is a Manifesto of autocracy, representing the "expressed" stereotype of behavior, which destroys the boundaries of the previous canons both in genre and stylistic terms, since the synthetic worldview discrediting the usual mental positions, no longer works at the level of the norm, it is an object of parody (new) and at the same time selectively traditional poetics. In this connection, the "Word" is unusual for any listener who does not live in that era, the era of the 12th century - the time of tectonic cultural and historical shifts, when old traditions die, and new ones are just emerging. This fluid (amorphous) process is reflected in the phenomenon of "Word of Daniel the Immured", presented as a mystery for the modern researcher.
