HUMANITARIAN DISCOURSE OF ABISH KEKILBAYEV’S HISTORICAL PROSE

Abstract

The humanitarian discourse of historical works of Kazakh writer Abish Kekilbayevich Kekilbayev is considered. The range of social and moral issues, resolved by the writer at philosophical and aesthetic level is illustrated in detail. Through the moral lessons of the past comes comprehension of the present. Playing the distant past, the ancient history of their ancestors, touching the moral problems with a deep sense of universal writer resonates with modernity. Lyrical-epic legends, folk tales, fairy-tale motifs are woven into the story of “Steppe Ballads” and “End of the legend” with repetitions, inversions, creating romantic mood. With the help of lyrical image means the writer seeks to understand what is the meaning of life, what is the place and role of man on earth. The search for new forms and means of expression contributes to the formation of copyright discourse on spirituality of the human being. A.K. Kekilbayev’s works vary blurring of genre boundaries, overcoming the previous aesthetic and ideological stereotypes, appeal to neomifological thinking, built on the modernized myths universalization, relying on the eternal and unchangeable. In the novel “End of Legend” dominate fiction, fantasy, philosophical reflection on categories such as good and evil, love and power, truth and lie. Monologic character of the narrative, focusing on the moral aspect of the relationship of heroes, philosophical understanding of the events, the psychological analysis of the inner life of the characters shows mythopoetic nature of the work. Permanent symbol of the novel is the minaret. Minaret - the main symbol of the novel that carries the basic idea of the work: power, fame, love, art, the mystery of the world and the human soul. In the minds of Turkish, minaret is associated with symbolic and architectural unity of mediation, opening the poetics of a multi-valued image. The minaret in novel is also the main composite basis - all events in one way or another connected with him and come near him. Through the image of the minaret there is the opposition of two worlds - the upper and lower. Upper - bound to the image of the sky, of beauty, with the world dreams of heroes, the bottom - with the image of the city, with the “anthill”, with the world of everyday bustle. Symbolic red apple with worm-hole shows the illusory nature of power.
