Abstract
The article examines the ontological model of artistic reality, existing as an artistic text, which is an aesthetic phenomenon that is reawakened to life through its interpretation. It is argued that the possibility of constant updating and changing the experience of the same artistic text has its basis in the fact that a work of art always has its own present, that is, its specific timelessness. he thesis is substantiated according to which in modern artistic culture the figure of the interpreter is constituted as the figure not of a consumer, but of a producer of the meaning of an artistic text. A literary text is studied as a semantic multiplicity open to interpretation, as a sphere of generation of meanings. The article argues that a literary text in the hermeneutical consciousness of the recipient always has the character of an accomplishment, an implementation, an event, since the text opens up the possibility of its multivariate reading and at the same time limits the freedom of interpretation in accordance with genre and style. The analysis of the process of interpreting a literary text as a hermeneutic procedure is carried out, which allows us to come to the conclusion that the essence of interpretation lies in filling the artistic text with meaning - without raising the question of correctness, that is, compliance with a certain initial, “true” meaning. The use of a hermeneutic approach allows us to consider the interpretation of a literary text as a process of constructing its meaning.
