Abstract:
Today scientists have come to conclusions
that just like a stylistic revolution, serialism became
a powerful outcome of the tonality crisis and
have been the main force of organization of musical
modernism throughout several decades. The

movements of the avant-garde in music, - post-serial
modernism and experimental postmodernism.

interact but they become useless when they
are disunited or only enter an antagonistic contradiction
with each other.

into an ethical discourse the apriorist and constructivist
methodology.

The article provides a brief research on
the problem of death in the fi rst Bunuel’s fi lms (“Un
chien andalou”, 1929, “L’Âge d’or”, 1930, “Las Hurdes.
Tierra sin pan”, 1932). The author concludes
that the director’s preoccupation by the problem of
death, expressed with naturalistic and sexual images
and aggressively built narration, results not
just from French model of surrealism, but has its
own deep grounds in Spanish culture, surrealistic
by itself.
