Малкъар прозада социалист идеологияны шартлары (Хочуланы С. бла Гыттыуланы М. чыгъармаларына кёре)

Abstract

The article reflects the specifics of Balkarian prose during the period of domination of socialist ideology, the canons of normative aesthetics. The consequence of the destruction of conceptual categories was the displacement of ethnically marked constants by the problems of the ideologi-cal, “Soviet” plan. In pre-war Balkarianprose; binary-opposition (“positive” - “negative”) aesthet-ic representation was preserved as the primary method of fixing and comprehending the surround-ing world, the ideological content of the described completely and unambiguously determined its axiological position. The ethical and ideological conceptualism of Bolshevism remained the motivational basis for the psychological states of the heroes of national prose in the first post-war decades. There-fore, it is also unnecessary to speak of a pronounced national component in the imagery of the works of this period: this is manifested both in the characters’ lives and in the plot's localization. It is practically impossible to determine how much the type of highlander depicted by M. Gettuev corresponds to real prototypes, questions of socialist construction supplanted how much in the minds of people. However, this type was replicated in a huge number of works of that era. The sublimative behavioral motives depicted by the authors of the 1950s and 1960s practically seem to be a direct continuation of the prose of the pre-war years. This situation of aesthetic predetermina-tion gave impetus to the development of a narrative skill, which consisted of the textual justifica-tion of the actions of the characters. Understanding the need for this justification prepared the ap-pearance in the works of a specific national component, embodied no longer in the names and ex-ternal surroundings, but in the psychological characteristics of the characters. Research methods: historical-typological, comparative, epistemological.
