ИНТЕГРАТИВНИТЕ СТРАТЕГИИ В ТВОРЧЕСТВОТО НА ОЛГА ТОКАРЧУК КАТО ВРАТА КЪМ БЪДЕЩЕТО

The integration of ontological vectors, existential trajectories, psychological states, and material and immaterial substances is a philosophical-artistic reflex in Olga Tokarczuk's work. Integrative strategies, interweaving three fundamental categories—Time, Dream, and Death—outline the future as enlightened knowledge, a bright perspective, a gateway to a new, transformed Life, thanks to the universal need for the reprocessing and improvement of every substance, through the universal energy exchange for the arrival of new vitality. The author's intuition is at the core of integrative strategies, which detects their foundations. Time is an omni-integrative functor that combines intra- and inter-integrative functions, simultaneously integrating its elements and other entities and categories. Space is one of the ontological statuses of Time. The cyclicity of Time as an integrative whole generates Immortality and thus integrates with Death as a prelude, a step towards Immortality — time and Space exchange integrative impulses. Space is a visual illustration of Time, and Time makes Space more plastic. Our common movement in spacetime provokes our shared dreams. The world as a titanic dream is also an omni-integrative construction. Dream integrates Life and Death, depicting our communication with them in a series of images. Life, Death, and Dream form an integrative trio, where the three categories exchange impulses: Life, through Dream, resembles Death; Dream is somewhat synonymous with Death, and Death is akin to Dream. The study aims, based on Olga Tokarczuk's ideas aesthetically woven into the fabric of her works, to discover the integrative strategies of key philosophical categories and prove their perspective on the existential path of humanity. Methods used include analytical-integrative, cognitive-semantic, and comparative methods, drawing on individual works of the author.
