THE ARTISTIC WORLD OF THE LITERARY URALS REGION IN THE RESEARCH OF S.G. SHARABASOV
Аннотация
The purpose of this research is to examine and identify the distinctive features of scholarly perspectives in Kazakh literary studies, as well as the unique approach to the analysis of poetics in the works of Ural and Kazakh writers, as reflected in the evaluation of Professor Serikkali Gabdeshevich Sharabasov. Particular attention is devoted to the professor’s works, which aim to reinterpret literary texts that reflect the artistic worldview of the urals literary region through the lens of modern methodologies and technological approaches. The study analyzes Sharabasov’s research on the representation of the artistic world in the writings of Ural authors – M.Yeslyamgaliyev’s historical novel «Әйтеке би» (Aiteke bi), M.Shuinshalieva’s collection «Шүберек қуыршақ» (Rag Doll), and Z. Kabdolov’s unfinished work on Makhambet.
The research of S.G.Sharabasov’s scholarly works is preceded by a review of theoretical materials concerning the literary concept of the artistic world. Within this framework, the article presents the key ideas and arguments developed by V.Solovyov, V.Rozanov, V.Bryusov, B.M.Eikhenbaum, M.M.Bakhtin, B.V.Kondakov and T.D.Popkova. The general consensus among these scholars is that the artistic world represented in a literary text serves as a mode of the author’s self-expression. The paper highlights the significance of employing synonymous concepts such as the general aspects of being, world harmony – or, conversely, disharmony, chaos, and absurdity –within the theoretical discussion. It also emphasizes the importance of the authors’ recreation of the “state of the soul” of their characters and their reflection on universal human issues such as good and evil, honor and dishonor.
The concept of "artistic world" is considered by foreign researchers to be a "textual world." It is most prominently represented in works by K.Vathanalaoha, M.Burke and Canning.
The practical part of the article presents an overview of Professor Sharabasov’s research devoted to the artistic worlds created by M.Yeslyamgaliyev, MShuinshalieva, and Z.Kabdolov. According to Sharabasov, Yeslyamgaliyev objectively depicted a philosophical perception of life and the unique phenomenon of Carnage (traditional judicial authority) in the history of the Kazakh people, particularly within the Younger Zhuz. In the view of the professor, Z.Kabdolov, for the first time in modern Kazakh prose, achieved a masterful artistic interpretation of loneliness and alienation as the essential conditions of a tragic personality. The principal conclusion of the Ural literary scholar is that the artistic world, created by the author’s imagination, serves as a form of self-expression that reveals the individuality and inimitable style of each writer.
