Транскрибирование, или расширение письменного «я». К расшифровке разговора с Владимиром Александровичем Шкуратовым
Abstract. The article is an epistemological paratext to the transcript of an archival interview,
which was recorded in the summer of 2009 at the pilot stage of a research dedicated to the
history of silence in the USSR. The self-narrative of silence is produced from the position of the late
Soviet intellectual, who is distancing himself from both the official life and discourse. The interlocutor
was the architect of historical psychology and the creator of its literary version, Rostov professor
Vladimir Aleksandrovich Shkuratov (1947–2022). The interviewer prepares a full-text transcript of the
conversation to publication in memory of her prof and guru, providing, with the help of the preface, a
layered setup for reading the interview.
The text explains the specifics of the complex genre of interviews, raises the question of its ethnographic
saturation and connection with the academic practices of the existence of V.A. Shkuratov. A brief
excursion into his intellectual heritage is made, and a French trace in the design of Rostov historical
psychology is discovered. The status of the interview and its transcript is determined in relation to
historical psychology in the editions of V.A. Shkuratov and I. Meyerson. Particular attention is paid
to the views of V.A. Shkuratov on the role of written culture, given through literature, in the invention
of modern man and maintaining his psychological integrity. The understanding of written personality
proposed by V.A. Shkuratov is considered through the case of the underground man in his connection
with the writing. The belonging of the professor’s oral speech to the order of writing is described. And the
translation of his oral speech into writing, considered as a strengthening of the presence and extension of
the written “self ” is placed in the context of both written culture and personality, the conceptualization
of which V.A. Shkuratov worked.
