Mamieva I.V. Genesis, Structure and National Specifics of Ossetian Historical Revolutionary Novel |
DOI 10.23671/VNC.2018.66.11460In the article the specifics of historical narration in the Ossetian prose of the 1930-s are analyzed from the point of view of levels of interaction of two art systems – folklore and literature, namely in the genre of historical and revolutionary novel, with which the actual development of large epic forms began.convergenceResearch objective is to reconsider the ideological and substantial and figurative structure of works of the reviewed period in the changed realia, to introduce amendments into a paradigm of the established estimates in searching genre and style characteristic of this type of novel and specifics of its interaction with oral and poetic tradition. Of special importance are also the questions connected with the process of formation of a novelistic narration types. In the present article the axiological approach to studying features of structure of the historico-revolutionary novel in its initial phase is applied alongside with the use of traditional methods of the literary criticism. Study of the outlined circle of problems gives grounds to trace genetic succession of the first historical and revolutionary novels ("Storm Noise" by K. Farnion, "The Broken Chain" by B. Botsiyev, D. Mamsurov's "Akhsarbeg", T. Besayev's "Hope") from folklore. The folklore and ethnographic component as the spiritual and esthetic basis of the Ossetian mentality forms a style originality and the axiological and semantic sphere of novelistic texts, though the use of the elements of folklore – historicism and psychologism, an etnographism and a social life-recording – not always meets the requirements of artistic demand. The process of integration into the novelistic structure of traditional ethic and aesthetic ideals is interpreted in the aspect of discording with ideologems of the Soviet epoch, and which account sometimes for the behavioral stereotypes of characters. Keywords: Ossetian prose, historical and revolutionary novel, genesis, type of the narration, folklorism, historical method, artistic, etnographism, ethnic and ideological
