The experience of world literature of the 20th century
showed the possibility of neograničnye synthesis of artistic achievements
of modernist art, realistic accuracy, folk culture, romantic and poetical
contemplation and spirituality. Quite natural appearance in Kazakh literature
of the second half of the 20th century the romantic, obligatory forms of stream
of consciousness, existential intensity, a modernist attitude, mythmaking and
mifopoètičeskogo thinking. For the twentieth century in General is
characterized by great fragmentation and variability of historical-literary
systems. However, the impact of modernism on artistic development in the 20th
century is widely and multilaterally.
Modernism, organically grown from the cultural needs of his time, had a
great influence on the artistic process in the twentieth century. Modernism
attracted artists almost throughout the century.
Modernism is a historical-philosophical and literary
and art category as a specific attitude, most fully manifested in the alienation
of man in the world of rational order and social oppression. "If overlooked Genesis Arts how would
bird's eye, then you will notice that they, in turn, also tend to be cyclical
movement: Revival announced (and even sincerely believed) that inherits from
antiquity, romantisch somewhat mimicked the middle ages, modernism-20th century
romanticism" [1, 103].
In the 20th century, modernist direction and
intentions coexist in a single cultural space, creating a thick, multicolor
flap operation artistic fabric of literature. Colossal conquest it is modernism
is that, on the basis of empirical practice romantically daily existence, it
has given the world the human spirit's highest status bytijstvennoj
reality. Traits of modernism is the
most open and free the self-revelation of the authors, their insistence on
refresh the artistic language, focusing more on the universal and
cultural-historically distant, rather than a close reality. "All these
modernism closer romanticism than classical realism" [2, 403].
Modernism is extremely heterogeneous. He said himself
in a number of ways and schools, particularly numerous at the beginning of the
century, among them the first place (not only chronologically, but also played
roles in art and culture) is the symbolism.
Active wave neoromantiñ
trends-summarizes the XIX and XX century opens. Many currents of the 20th
century, literary criticism referred to the notion of "modernism":
symbolism, surrealism, Expressionism and other direct descendants of
romanticism. Many of the main
theoretical postulates of these currents are easily reduced to romanticism. If
you take a good look at modernistu, you can learn the old romance. In
connection with this interesting thought D.v., which Materials considering
artistic system of romanticism, it identifies the "modernist" and
"postmodern" characteristics: [1.157].
General trend include 20th century art in one way or
another, approach the orbit of romanticism in the West should be considered
sustainable, accompanied by lively theoretical disputes.
The development of romanticism in the new quality in
the Kazakh prose was the result of art seeking new followers artists of
romanticism. In Kazakh prose in works of such writers as T.Abdikov, A.Kekilbayev, D.Isabekov,
O.Bokeiev, H.Adibaev, R.Toktarov,
D.Doszhanov observe features "neo",
new romanticism, is typologically different from the aesthetics of socialist
realism. Romantic hero of this literature are generally dissatisfied with
reality, rebels against the daily, vulgarity, spiritual sluggishness. Original motif infeasibility in real life
dreams, absorbed by the motif of the impossibility of any other life except
that rigidly predetermined continuous circular flow, which covers all and in
which a man alienated from himself. Quite obvious traction romantics to
fiction, mythological subjects and irrational world.
In the works of T. Abdikov organically modernist and romantic artistic
principles. Stories and novellas t. Abdikov "right hand",
"Truth", "Burn the fires of hell", "War raging
mind" written in the romantic style. The writer is an inherent
subjectivity. Heroes and heroines of T.
Abdikov bear the imprint of spiritual greatness, altruism and intrinsic
complexity, reliving a tragic disorder with reality. Romantic heroes of Ò. Abdikov in ways that surpass from its
Wednesday. Frustrated, they can not
find spiritual balance. The "right hand" of Alma's life portrayed
outside of the isolation from social Wednesday. Heroine in mental disorder with
a right hand, becomes as its enemy. The
central protagonist of the story "Truth" Robert is in ideological
disorder in society. He is a Telepath. He lives at the crossroads of two
worlds: the real and spiritual. He could not take scientific and technological
progress, violated people's lives. Their protest against modern technocratic
civilization expresses its decision to stay in the mental hospital.
T. Abdikov romantic principles manifested in the
creation of a literary hero. His characters are, at first glance, seem
"strange, incomprehensible. Romantic characters of T.Abdikov is based on these
"incomprehensibility". T. Abdikov romantic personality conflict is
exacerbated frustration and longing heroes of loneliness becomes deeper,
tragic. They suffer from the frustration of the tragic mood, frustration and
grief. In the end, not only alienated from society, and ends lives tragically.
In the story "truth" Robert renounces "terrible world",
hung up. In the story "right hand unconsciously during sleep» Alma
suffocating himself with his right hand. In the final story "War raging
mind diary Owner decides to commit suicide.
The composition of the story "the war raging mind
built outside the box: the plot is presented in the form of diaries and letters
that the hero of the piece says" another "yourself. The very name of
this work embodies a twofold meaning. In the story there is the side
storylines, conflict occurs within a single individual. There is a hero in the ambivalent reality,
on the one hand it seeks harmony with the world, on the other, he lives in an
age of spiritual "decomposition".
In modernism, has inherited from romanticism idea of
poetic dvoemiriâ, artist suffering from conflict peace ideal and real
world. The theme of human split, raised in the story "the right
hand", "war raging mind brought to its logical conclusion. The
protagonist-the owner of the diary, the man good and moral, long time is
overwritten with an unknown friend and argues about spiritual values, of good
and evil. At
the end of the storytelling host of diary learns that cruel, treacherous
Unknown friend, is "other", and he has to defeat evil, decides to
commit suicide. In literature this conflict is called
"dvojničestvom", this coexistence of psychological doubles,
inseparably interconnected knitted. In terms of spiritual life is an ambivalent
personality unity, consisting of light and dark poles.

According to an unknown friend, good and evil are interrelated
phenomena, one pole is derived from another. No wonder in his letters to the
owner of the diary quotes "collection of poems avidly Flowers of evil by
Charles Baudelaire, French poet-Symbolist, fantastic view of evil. The dominant
poetic idea of the time, was romanticism. Romantic idea expressed view of the
poet of dvoemirii, and was realized in opposition as the main feature of poetic
thinking. For
Baudelaire Chief artistic principle becomes not the antithesis and the
assimilation of opposites. He reinterpreted the law Great analogy. For him,
good is evil, and evil is good, life is death, and death is life, suffering
there is joy, and joy is suffering, there is a purity of debauchery is truly
"what lie at the bottom, similar to what is at the top. The hero of the story
stand against reality where good and evil are indistinguishable
postmodernistki. He, hesitating to commit suicide, kills evil. He finds his way
out of the moral impasse: "it is better to kill yourself than to wake up
another man, immoral villain".
Roman of H. Adibaev "Otrar" differs
philosophically complex, metaphor and thought, the intensity of the end-to-end
correlation mifopoètičeskih, paradigmatic series,
emotionally-expressive expressiveness, religious-philosophical semantics, depth
Mystic-romantic experiences. In the novel mixes up everything: times, events,
religion, cultural layers. The novel is written in an associative form of
stream of consciousness. In the mythological reminiscences known angel appear
and demonic images, Prophet Jesus, Judas, conceptual images, as the bridge
Sirat, hell-Tozak, paradise-Zhumak. The author advocates the creator's own new
myth. The writer's own Genghis Khan, unconventional Judas, my Jesus.
Modernist theory treats that shaped the reality is far
more realistic to human reality material. In reality, the novel h. Adibaeva
"Otrar" permanent lejtmotivnym way stands devouring red light. It has
authorized the hero Kerbugu, a virtual duel with Genghis Khan, his journey to
the underworld and paradise.
T. Abdikov from modernism-striving for a certain
metanarrativu, the search for identity and spirituality, deep intellectual
prose. Hero writer, first and foremost, the wrestler with the spiritual
impoverishment, rigidity and immorality. It's certainly not a modernist, but
rather romantic style attitude. His heroes are fighting with opposing it by a
majority. In the works of a true», «War raging mind syncretism can be observed
at least two methods of art-modernism and romanticism.
The novel "Otrar", in our opinion, poetry
with lyrical, associative, aimed at the bold experiment, the search for new
forms of genre, narrative synthesis.
Roman of H. Adibaev
"Otrar" updated on the principles of lyrical, expressive emotional
expressions. Genre combined works bear the stamp of individual uniqueness,
bright national color. In them you can feel the breath of a particular
historical era [2.874].
Here are often literary experiments may occur.
According to researcher of A.Zhaksylykov departure from the outdated
templates themselves ideological metodologii6 literary experiments open up
"new opportunities in the way of the aesthetic, spiritual and philosophic
quest writers in contemporary Kazakh literature", helping to cleanse from
the sketchiness, stereotyped, zadogmatizirovannosti of the past decades.
