“On Some Further Semantic Aspects of the Experience of Completeness/Fullness in F. M. Dostoevsky’s Poetics” The article continues the research initiated in one of the author’s previous papers. It adds new aspects to the investigations into Dostoevsky’s poetic modelling of how the experience of completeness/fullness/plenitude in world perception can be acquired. The author focuses on the artistic development of the semantic definition of fullness/comprehensiveness/inclusiveness as it is shaped in the sense of entering connections and experiencing the convergence of various elements of the world in a single temporal or spatial sphere, into which the subject of perception penetrates with great intensity. This requires studying the chronotope of completeness/fullness with a distinction between horizontality and verticality, as well as the uncertainty, abstractness, and degrees of concreteness (metaphorisation and symbolisation) of the chronotope. The forms of experiencing and comprehending completeness bring together diverse and opposing elements of everyday realities and their emotional or intellectual interpretations. In this sense, this topic is inseparable from such traditional aspects of the study of Dostoevsky’s poetics as polyphony, the event in the understanding of M. M. Bakhtin, monodualistic antinomy, or the problem of simultaneity. Illustrative examples are taken from the novels The Brothers Karamazov and The Idiot. Keywords: fullness/completeness/plenitude; the experience of comprehensiveness/inclusiveness; the subject of perception; convergence; chronotope, metapoetics
