Communicative dissonances in everyday practices of the Petrine era
https://doi.org/10.28995/2686-7249-2023-9-50-67
Abstract
The article studies the speech situation that arose during the communication between the detective’s office of G.I. Koshelev and the Dvinsky zemstvo burmasters (1716), who were brought as witnesses to investigate the official abuses of the Archangelogorod vice-governor A.A. Kurbatov and Prince M.I. Volkonsky, the first investigator in the “Archangelogorod case”. The author proves that the effect of semiotic “unrecognition”, or communicative dissonance, arose between the communicants. That effect was due to the fact that representatives of the Zemstvo worlds used the traditional language of the Zemstvo acts of the pre-Petrine era, and the investigators tried to speak to them in the emerging language of rational political culture generated by the situation of Peter’s reforms. The considered case is aimed at understanding the communication issues that arose during routine everyday life, in which ordinary contemporaries of the reforms lived and interacted.
