Abstract

The article is devoted to some aspects of the scientific work of the outstanding Tuvan writer Mongush Borakhovich Kenin-Lopsan, Doctor of Historical Sciences, People’s Writer of the Republic of Tyva, Honored Worker of Culture of the Tuva Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, Honored Scientist of the Republic of Tuva, Full Member of the New York Academy of Sciences, holder of the international title “Living Treasure of Shamanism”. Being the permanent president of the republican society of shamans “Dungur” and the only connoisseur of the secret knowledge of the ancient religion at the moment, he reveals to the reader its basic ideological concepts, explains the essence of ritual practice and attributes of shamans. The scientific works of M. Kenin-Lopsan are gaining more and more value in connection with the new phenomena of neoshamanism, the inclusion in the traditional system of innovations that distort the understanding of the national religion of Tuvans. A study of his works leads us to the conclusion that the scientist reveals the general features of the ancient culture of the SayanAltai Turks of the pre-Mongol period of Tuva. He recorded the unique stories of the best connoisseurs of folklore and traditions of Tuvans during the Soviet era, when interest in traditional culture was considered as a manifestation of nationalism

Style Dominants of Didar Amantay Prose

Kalieva A.K.

Abstract

The intensive development of information technologies, web resources and literature, Internet portals and Internet publications dictate the demand for small-scale prose genres. New literary trends are reflected in Kazakh national prose in the books of the writer, publicist, screenwriter Didar Amantay. The ecology of consciousness, the modern life of the city, the philosophical issues of life are the current topics of his prose and essay writing. As a representative of postmodernism and poststructuralism, Amantay combines elements of different styles and trends of the past in his work, often with an ironic effect, develops a philosophical direction and a critical analysis of culture and society. A characteristic feature of his style of narration is that the writer freely moves from the comparison of images and motives in the national literatures of the world to the analysis of the Kazakh one, addressing his works of art to an exquisite, intellectual reader.

Poetry by Translingual Authors (Karachay-Balkarian Sample)

Kerimova R.A.

Abstract

In this paper we try to comprehend the significant in the XXI century problem of literary transand bilingualism in the context of transcultural paradigm. The subject of the research is the Russian-language texts of Karachay-Balkarian writers. As a part of the study, heterogeneous models of literary expression were revealed: a new poetic trend of young authors with a non-trivial figurative system, often having nothing to do with stable formulaic representations of Karachay-Balkarian folklore. As a result of the analysis, the main trends in the art of translingual poetry are identified. According to our results, the literary work of a new generation of translingual authors gravitates toward the European cultural paradigm. Research methods: an integrated approach, combining elements of comparative-typological, system-holistic and historical-literary analysis. The studied problems contribute to the theory of translingualism in the context of literary bilingualism, typical for North Caucasian literature of the XXI century.

“Non-Russian in Russian”: Notes on Translingual Literature and Poetry by I. Khugaev

Kulieva S.A., Sinyachkin V.P.

Abstract

This article is devoted to the comprehension of Russian-language literature problem, which is an organic part of translingual literature, relevant for modern philology. Works created in Russian by ethnically non-Russian authors are characterized by their ethnic substrate - an “internal form of culture”, which is actualized both at the level of individual lexical elements and at the level of microand macro-plots, script implications, mythologemes and culture codes. The study was based on selected poems by the outstanding North Ossetian poet I.S. Khugaev. The selection of works was carried out taking into account the presence of “opaque” ethno-cultural elements that represent important information about the original culture transmitted in the poetic text, as well as the reconstruction of fragments of the national “model of the world” in them, recreated in poems.
