Integrative Textology: A Multi-level Analysis Model of Literary Works

This study aims to justify and demonstrate the five-axis model of a ‘philological tensor’ as a theoretically significant tool for philological analysis in response to contemporary methodological challenges. The research employs philosophical-methodological modeling techniques based on the synthesis of hermeneutic, structuralist, semiotic, and cultural approaches. An historical-typological analysis is applied to trace the evolution of literary forms along each axis identified within this framework. The scientific novelty lies in the development of an innovative concept of the ‘philological tensor,’ which serves as a unified model for comprehensive literary analysis by integrating fragmented methodologies into a cohesive whole. This paper presents findings that elucidate both the content and function of the five fundamental axes — Logos, Nomos, Eikon, Praxis, and Glossa — and their interconnectedness. It traces the evolution of literary forms across these dimensions from ancient synesthetic mythologies through modern multimedia narratives. Emphasis is placed on the practical value of this proposed model for analyzing texts spanning different eras comprehensively. The conclusion underscores its versatility and heuristic potential, suggesting applicability not only to classical works but also to current textual forms, thereby positioning it as a universal approach to philological inquiry.
