Abstract

The authors give a literary assessment of the monograph by I.V. Bulgutova Buryat philosophical lyrics: mythopoetic foundations and traditions with the involvement of some of her other works. A set of questions is studied related to the Buryat mythological school, the mythogenicity index of the Buryat professional literature, various types of mythological thinking, zoonymous mythical plots, the shamanistic cycle, the mythologization of history, and ethno-poetic constants. The practical part of the monograph under review is a mytho-ontological analysis of representative philosophical poetic texts by D. Ulzytuev, L. Tapkhaev, B. Syrenov, G. Radnaeva, R. Shoymardanova. Much attention is paid to the features of the Buryat Russian-language poetry, represented by the works of N. Nimbuev and B. Dugarov.

Highlights

  • The modern globalizing and modernizing society with particular clarity shows the relevance of issues related to the preservation of the all-Russian socio-cultural identity, which consists of a multitude of “daughter identities”, which, according to the established tradition, have recently been clearly displayed on the covers of dissertations on Russian literature — the North Caucasus, Kalmykia, the Urals, Volga region, Karelia, Russian North, Siberia, Far East

  • The relevance of the study is due to the need for the modern Buryat literature to identify and scientifically comprehend its own historical roots, to measure the “culture-genic” potential and passionate power of the ancient mythopoetic matrices, capable still able to “ferment” literary texts

  • Bulgutova showed the specifics of polycode imagery systems, where, paradoxically, “one” plus “one” equals not “two”, but “three”, that is, there is not an arithmetic sum, but a certain original semantic complex

Summary

Introduction

The modern globalizing and modernizing society with particular clarity shows the relevance of issues related to the preservation of the all-Russian socio-cultural identity, which consists of a multitude of “daughter identities”, which, according to the established tradition, have recently been clearly displayed on the covers of dissertations on Russian literature — the North Caucasus, Kalmykia, the Urals, Volga region, Karelia, Russian North, Siberia, Far East. This kind of geographical “mosaic” is perceived as an order to every Russian humanities scholar to study the ethnocultural characteristics of their own “homelandscape” [1. The relevance of the study is due to the need for the modern Buryat literature to identify and scientifically comprehend its own historical roots, to measure the “culture-genic” potential and passionate power of the ancient mythopoetic matrices, capable (or not) still able to “ferment” literary texts
