Belles-lettres space and ways of its visualization in Dina Rubina’s novels "Leonardo’s Handwriting" and "The White Dove of Córdoba"
The article explores the phenomenon of ontological intermediality of visualizing belles-lettres space representing a dialogue between different forms of art in the contexts of the problem of representing ekphrasis as a poetic device. The latter provides for the adequate representation of verbal art works by means of visual arts. Space visualization in Dina Rubina’s novels «Leonardo’s Handwriting» and «The White Dove of Córdoba» is investigated through the prism of Umberto Eco’s culturological views concerning the process of «translating» the code of visual arts into the language of verbal arts.
