Review Review (German rezension, Latin recensio, English review - review, assessment, consideration) - analysis, analysis, evaluation of a publication, work or product. Dividing all journalistic genres into groups, we have identified three types of genres: informational, analytical, artistic and journalistic. Each of these genera is divided into species. All species, as we have already noted, are now diffused, that is, they penetrate each other, intersect and/or unite. This is clearly seen in the example of modern reviews. A review, usually classified as an analytical genre, may well receive all the signs of an artistic-journalistic genre: for this, the author just needs to shift the emphasis from the work being reviewed to his opinion about it, add discussions about related phenomena and problems, writing all this in a bright journalistic style , and the review will move from one classification group to another. Why is this happening? The fact is that classifications can be natural and artificial. All artificial classifications applied by a person according to some arbitrarily chosen characteristic (alphabetical order, age, place of residence, etc.) are easy to understand and easy to change. All natural classifications cause problems for researchers - due to the complexity of the world around us and the universal variability of things101. And when creating an artificial classification, disputes are inevitable. Difficulties in the modern classification of genres arose, as we have already noted, when the emphasis in the “fact-author” relationship was shifted from fact to author, which occurred in the early 90s. XX century The review, once an extremely popular genre with clear specific characteristics, slid freely across the surface of any classifications precisely because the role of the author was previously significant in reviews, but has now become enormous. The author can act as a reviewer-informant, a reviewer-researcher, a reviewer-essayist - in a word, create any genre hybrid and at the same time not distort the intent of the works being reviewed and not undermine himself. Why is review so convenient? In all its types there must be a characteristic and assessment of the phenomenon. For a journalist-reviewer who wants to express his vision of the world, both of these components are extremely attractive: after all, before characterizing a phenomenon, it must be selected from many related ones, and when giving an assessment, one must select arguments, draw conclusions, and one can speculate about the prospects of the phenomenon being assessed. It turns out that reviewing is creativity, individualized to a slightly greater extent than in other genres. Of course, each reviewer should theoretically strive for an objective description and balanced assessment of a phenomenon (book, play, film, program, picture, etc.), but even in these matters, objectivity is a conditional thing. Regardless of the degree of proximity to the original, the mirror will only be a mirror. Reflection of already reflected reality - this applies to a review, and to an artistic-critical review of any works, and to any subtype of these genres, if the journalistic material is not about the phenomena of life directly, but about the depiction of reality by other authors. The reviewer is obliged to determine the genre-specific affiliation of the work he is considering, its place in the flow of similar ones, note the characteristic features of this particular work, and express his opinion on the basis of ideas and norms adopted for evaluating works of this type in the cultural and professional community. Remember this. It is understood that the reviewer is familiar with many other similar works, has analyzed them publicly, and has the right to express his or her assessments. A reviewer is a respected figure with authority in his professional community, an expert, an erudite, a specialist who is known to really understand the topic. We have described the ideal situation. What is its difference from the real one? Mainly, not all modern reviews are written by professionals who have distinguished themselves in their field. Quite often, a review of a book, for example, is written not by a literary critic, but by an editorial worker who liked this genre for some valid reason. Quite often, book and literary criticism in glossy mass magazines is carried out not by critics, not by bibliographers, and not even by bibliophiles, but simply by those journalists who, from the point of view of the editor-in-chief, do it smartly, bitingly, etc. It’s not without reason that in Literaturnaya Gazeta in In 2003, there was a long discussion, from issue to issue, with the participation of critics and literary scholars: why do we have little criticism? Why is there a crisis of criticism? At first glance, this is strange: critics argue about why there is no criticism. In fact, there is no particular paradox, since two other factors temporarily supplanted the possibility of the flourishing of art criticism: the lack of generally understood criteria of truth and beauty, coupled with the increased role of advertising. All critics, starting from the same nineties, began to be suspected of creating hidden advertising (under the guise of reviewing) or of defending purely group interests. The criteria have been shaken and revised for almost a quarter of a century in connection with total changes in ideology, the structure of society and social thought, as well as in artistic styles and movements. The rise of Internet technologies has made its own changes to the dissemination of any opinions. Anyone can say anything. Finding a truly professional opinion about new products is not easy. The ubiquity of advertising involuntarily makes readers suspicious of all reviews in general - in the sense that a reviewer who writes something laudatory about a work may be suspected of self-interest. Reading a review of a book in the mass press, we increasingly encounter a style of presentation that is close to colloquial and even sometimes colloquial. Such reviews tell us quite a lot about the reviewer's vocabulary, but not much about whether the book under review is good or why. Not all the reasons for the crisis of this wonderful genre are listed here. This genre is very important, and we warmly advise aspiring journalists to learn how to write quality reviews. The craft of acting teaches you how to go on stage and act. And true art must teach how to consciously awaken the unconscious creative nature in oneself for super-conscious organic creativity, said the great reformer of the Russian theater K.S. Stanislavsky. The craft of a reviewer must begin with the difficult ability to hide (better - remove altogether) one’s own ambitions. Let us emphasize once again that self-expression and the creative activity of a journalist are incompatible. At first, many students think that journalism was created to express the aspirations of a journalist, but as they approach mastery, this delusion must go away. The art of a reviewer begins with demonstrating such a close, qualified and interested look at the work in question, which promotes this entire sphere of artistic activity to new frontiers, encourages further development, creativity, not only of the author under review, but also of many of his colleagues. This really requires a lot of knowledge and skills, and not just agility of the pen. Let's remember an interesting historical story. About a hundred years ago, when the Moscow Art Theater first went on tour abroad, to Germany, the entire troupe was very worried. The first press, which decided the fate of the theater abroad, was naturally awaited with great trepidation and impatience. What happened next was this: in the morning, the artists, still in their pajamas, burst into Stanislavsky’s with triumphant faces. The wife of one artist, who knew German, translated the review: it was written approvingly and with exceptional knowledge of the matter. All the artists rejoiced, and not only because they were praised, but because it was done with high skill. Later, Stanislavsky asked knowledgeable people how the Germans “develop such theater experts” for newspapers? (Indeed, a qualified newspaper theater critic is still a rarity today.) They revealed a secret to him: “We instruct a novice critic to write not a scolding, but a laudatory article: anyone can scold, even someone who doesn’t understand the matter, but only an expert can properly praise.” Significant words! This is, perhaps, a universal recipe for how to raise a great critic: first, let a young reviewer praise someone with knowledge of the matter, without flattery, without intrusiveness, without intoxication with his own style and capabilities, but with an analysis of the real merits of the work being reviewed. Here is a fragment of a review posted in the “Books” section of a mass glossy magazine. As an example of the current state of the genre, this is interesting. Those who are lazy and inattentive, accustomed to beach novels and newspaper articles, should not read Banville. He writes amazingly long, incredibly intricately, really well. But true connoisseurs will receive true physical pleasure - comparable only to what only Nabokov, the great and beautiful, could deliver to his readers. In a nutshell, and to show off in small talk, this is a novel about an actor. Just about a retired actor. Who lived. I loved. And, of course, he suffered. What did you think? The following is a six-line quotation from the novel “Eclipse” under review, which does not support these assessments. Perhaps the reviewer did not strive to create informational unity in his text. It may be difficult for him to do this. But the quote from the quote: “I pass her around like an explosive,” which characterizes the relationship between the hero and heroine, does not seem long, or complicated, or really good. This review has nothing to do with literature in general, with the work of the writer under review in particular, or with the evaluation of the specific novel “Eclipse.” Experts peacefully talk about this type of “literary criticism” like this: well, this is glossy criticism, so be it. And yet, this is a review in essence, since it reflects an artistically reflected reality: a novelist reflected the life of a retired actor, a journalist reflected the work of a novelist. Readers of the magazine learned that there is such a novel, that it is about love and it can be mentioned in the same breath as Nabokov. This, of course, is the most risky part of both the review and the prospects of small talk, because Nabokov is a recognized master of words, and the reader knows about the novel “Eclipse” only what is published in this magazine. Relying on such a reviewer’s assessment, you can get into trouble, especially if a truly well-read person suddenly turns up in “secular society.” You can now get acquainted with reviews written more or less in the traditions of this genre in thick literary magazines - “New World”, “Friendship of Peoples”, “October”, “Moscow”, etc. Their circulation has decreased to several thousand copies, but the magazines Still, they survived the market environment, they go out into the world, and have their own websites. In Soviet times, when these magazines had millions of copies and it was difficult to subscribe to them, even one small review in such a publication could attract the attention of the audience to a work. Now the situation has changed radically: high-quality culture has marginal representation in the press, while mass culture is still in the lead by an insurmountable margin. Since this situation is unlikely to be stable and long-lasting in Russia, we recommend that young journalists learn to write classic reviews: an accurate description plus adequate analysis. Having mastered the classical approaches, you will notice that, if necessary, you can produce a review in a simplified, conversational, glossy version without much effort. Speaking of artistic criticism, we should mention another genre extremely rich in its history and names: the literary critical article. In the history of Russian literature of the 19th century. Critics left their mark, influencing with their articles not only literature, but also the course of socio-political processes in the country. Magazine journalism, and within it literary criticism, developed rapidly. This was due to a whole range of reasons: a) the development of the press and literature in general occurred, of course, in the absence of electronic media; b) artistic verbal creativity was not widespread in the understanding and volume in which it appears now: it was the lot of predominantly educated people; c) many journalistic genres (among those now widespread) had not yet developed (for example, interviews); d) the attitude of the reading public to the printed word was attentive and deep, the public was interested in the development of national culture; e) the dissemination of information of any type occurred under conditions of censorship, that is, each printed statement was represented not only by the author and the editors, but also, as it were, by the state, which influenced both the ratings given and the social weight of the reviewers; f) the state itself was structured much more clearly than it is now, as a result of which the reader almost always felt from which social floor the written word was addressed to him. Of course, one should not assume that high-quality art criticism has now ceased to exist. It is alive, in particular in foreign Russian-language publications, in emigrant literature, although it is highly politicized; in the thick literary magazines mentioned above, in research papers on art. A galaxy of young literary critics has grown, which can be seen, for example, in the Debut literary prize. Such criticism is, of course, a specialized type of creativity and requires enormous knowledge and skills. At the Literary Institute named after. M. Gorky has a corresponding department, small in number of students, but still regularly graduating specialists. It is difficult to predict the development of these genres in this century, but we consider it necessary to encourage students of the Faculty of Journalism to study the rich national heritage, since professionals will always be in demand one way or another. The main thing for a journalist leaning towards art criticism now is a love of reading and studying works of literature. Then skills will come, and maybe even mastery, but the first thing such a journalist requires is the ability to constantly be interested in what others are doing in artistic creativity. It is very important to distinguish between what others can do and what you yourself cannot do, but you want to understand others and explain to the public what kind of work of literature was published, what its role and weight, context are, and how you understand it. A true critic of this very path is literally required to be a fan of other people's work. This is not easy psychologically, which is why there are never too many good reviewers, and especially first-class critics. The image of the famous Russian critic of the 19th century is typical. Vissarion Belinsky, recreated by a contemporary: Belinsky fell into the same “fever” when he struggled “day and night” to solve some damned issue. “It was his doubts that tormented him,” recalls Turgenev, “they deprived him of sleep, food, and relentlessly gnawed and burned him; he did not allow himself to forget himself and did not know fatigue... I was weakening... I wanted to rest, I was thinking about a walk, about dinner, Belinsky’s wife herself begged both her husband and me to wait a little, although to interrupt this debate for a while, she reminded him doctor's orders... but it was not easy to get along with Belinsky. “We have not yet resolved the question of the existence of God,” he once told me with a bitter reproach, “and you are hungry! creativity can only be achieved by people who are completely immersed in their calling.
