Features of intermedial interactions in Chinese Romanticism

INTRODUCTION. The research is dedicated to the current scientific problem of studying intermediality as a key mechanism of cultural dialog in the context of the formation of 20th-century Chinese Romanticism. The aim of the research is to identify the specifics of the intermedial interaction between literature and traditional arts (painting, music, theater) in the process of adapting and transforming European Romantic traditions in Chinese esthetics.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The objects of study are Chinese art and literature from the early 20th century that were influenced by Romanticism. The methodology includes comparative analysis, intermedial analysis to identify connections between different art forms, and a historical-cultural approach to reconstruct the context.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. It has been established that Chinese Romanticism was formed as a synthesis of Western influences and the national esthetic tradition. Using the analysis of specific works as examples, it is demonstrated that intermediality manifests itself in the borrowing of imagery, stylistic principles, and philosophical-aesthetic attitudes, which led to the formation of a unique compositional and performance school.

CONCLUSION. The practical significance of the work lies in deepening the understanding of the mechanisms of intercultural interaction in art. The research findings can be applied in further studies on comparative literature, intermedia studies, and the history of 20th-century Chinese culture. The prospects are linked to the expansion of the corpus of analyzed works.
