Estheticism of the Economic Crisis

Abstract

We don’t know whether for the treated phenomenon in this text should be used the terms aestheticization and estheticism of the economic crisis. The authors from this generation never stated whether this was a personal creative decision of the writers (who in regard of this are a small number); something which the readers, or the publishers were requiring, as a escapement (escapism) from the cruel reality — or perhaps this has something to do with the writers of this small group who had certain delicate, refined ancestry. There are many researches about the distant cultural phenomenon of social reaction. Namely e.g. in Canada and Japan the largest amounts of crime movies are filmed, but these are the countries which have smallest amounts of criminality. Nevertheless in the Russian movies nobody smokes or drinks, and in the American other way round. In regard of this in the reality the situation is diametrically different. My text has the aim to describe this particular reaction of these (this) author(s) in the period before the WWII. It shows that the authors in this case acted (sub)concisely, not in utilitarian manner- because the consumers would have been needing a bit elegance in the decays of the economic crisis.
