G. tyutelovaIn this article we are considering the poetics of the spatial image -the provincial town -in the plays by Gorky and Chekhov. The context of the XIX century classical drama enables to determine the new content of the province image, to reveal common features of the «new drama» poetics and author`s individual peculiarities as well, and to confront the world outlook positions of its two creators -Chekhov and Gorky reflected in the failing -to -coincide appraisals of the perspectives in the development of the Russian provincial life in the early XX century.

Science fiction literature simulates our reality in a specific way. It also provides opportunities to predict not only the development of technologies, particularly the artificial intelligence, but also the modes of the humans communication with these technologies, that are resented in the written works via anthropomorphic images. In this article there have been analyzed the organizational interaction modes between a human being and artificial intelligence within the scope of science fiction as exemplified by the works of Ph. Dick, A. Azimov, D. Adams, A. Clarke and W. Gibson. It has been pointed out that the authors conceptualize the artificial intelligence via three methods: comparison to a human being, creating the images of supercomputers and super-mind. The authorial communication models oriented on the interaction with artificial intelligence are focused on the development of the human inner world, the search of the answers on the key being questions. Interaction with the other, non-human consciousness collides with the technological limits and the destruction of the subject-object communication sphere. The analysis of the authorial communication models oriented on the interaction with artificial intelligence has shown that the basic problems of such communication is the impossibility of creating the dialogue-like relations and understanding of the other as the main communicative efficiency norm. The artificial intelligence, becoming the communication subject, continues to be perceived by the characters of the literature work as am object. The above-mentioned situation in the end leads to destruction of dialogical communication. True communication is possible under circumstances, when a human being understands technological restraints of artificial intelligence and he / she is ready to enrich it proactively with sense within the context of functional objectives solutions.
