Psychosemantic Analysis of Akira Kurosawa's Feature Film "Rashomon"

2020. Vol. 17. No. 4. P. 737–756 [issue contents]
This article is devoted to the psychosemantic analysis of the feature film Rashomon by the Japanese director Akira Kurosawa, based on the stories In a Thicket and Rashomon Gate by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. Scientific ideas in various forms often emerge at the level of the collective and individual unconscious. So, the creator of the theory of relativity, Albert Einstein, noted that the novel by F.M. Dostoevsky The Brothers Karamazov became for him a creative analogue of the theory of relativity. According to the concept of “polyphonism,” introduced by M.M. Bakhtin, the voices of Dostoevsky’s characters act as independent reference systems that bear their truth to life. Similarly, in A. Einstein’s theory, the parameters of the observed object depend on the position of the observer, and there is no “correct” description “outside” of this position. N. Bohr believed that both the studied phenomenon and its observer cannot be attributed to independent physical reality. In the Everett (multi-world) interpretation of quantum mechanics, the concept of a correlated state (“relative state”) that occurs when observing a quantum system is introduced. H. Everett believed that the result of its observation is not a “mystical” reduction of all possibilities to the only one, but a splitting of reality into many worlds, where one of these possibilities is realized. Now in the everettics it is believed that the result of the observation is an alterverse - a certain set of states where a single reality is observed from various “points of view.” Note that Socrates also showed the conventionality or relativity of any empirical knowledge of the world. Forcing the interlocutors to apply “common” concepts to various objects, he caused them to come to understanding that these objects become illusory, that is, they do not correspond to these “single” concepts. Our interest in the problem of how the position of observers influences the reality they design is reflected in a series of publications on this topic. And in this context, we were attracted to the film Rashomon, where the ideas of relativism are contrastingly presented in the artistic form.
