Дескриптив новописьменных литератур: формирование релевантных уровней информации

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the folklore descriptions’ evolution and the problem of identifying traditional expressive structures as typological markers. The article argues that the theory of “accelerated development of literatures”, especially its provisions on the drift of expres-sive structures from the space of oral folk art into the author’s literature, is mainly the result of the impact on the ethnic culture of the theses of the ideological doctrines. Authors conclude about the stadial development of the description in the pre-literary period and propose a scheme for its functional classification, arguing that the archaic descriptions in texts is not the result of folklore aesthetics influence and cannot serve as a base for defining the literary system as a “new-written”. The main concept of the article is the existence of character descriptive layers, the emergence of which is associated with the corresponding evolutionary periods of the society's development and the oral folk art; levels providing for the modification of the information content of the described objects from unconditional and non–activated markers in a plot and characters, to highlight fea-tures and attributes used consciously and purposefully. Analysis of the evolutionary modifications of the description, analysis of its functional resources and capabilities leads the article's authors to the conclusion that some categories and concepts of the theory of “accelerated development” are incorrect in relation to the literatures of North Caucasus people. In addition, they raise the ques-tion if the donor impact models of alternative cultural representations on the traditional is appli-cable (in this case, on Russian) literatures.
