Literatura académica sobre el tema "Chechen Folk poetry"

The major purpose of this paper is to investigate how Jordanian Chechens premeditatedly try to maintain major characteristics and components of their language and identity in their folk lyrics. The study evidently reveals that such poems substantially contribute to the preservation of major features of Chechen cultural identity. The researchers collect and analyze data using descriptive qualitative research methods. The data in question were gathered through observation, participation, and field notes; in addition, a gatekeeper (friend-to-friend contact) facilitates the entrance to this isolated ethnic society over the course of a year. This study is mainly dedicated to examining how this can be attained with relevance to the seven types of meanings presented by Leech (1981). Therefore, it aims to illustrate how these seven types of meanings exist and operate in three selected Chechen poems; mainly, Death or Freedom, Lonely Night, and Little Soldier, by exploring the ethical and cultural background and dissecting the themes found in these poems. Furthermore, this study draws upon the integrated framework which is based on Leech’s (1981) seven forms of meaning: Denotative, Connotative, Collocative, Affective, Stylistic, Thematic, and Reflective meaning. The study clearly exhibits that Chechen poems typically and primarily comprise a major range of topics such as war, country, romance, migration, masculinity, and bravery, as well as essential features of family and household matters that help to preserve Chechen culture in all aspects of everyday life, including food, home, neighborhoods, festivities, rituals, clothing, and music.

Akhmad Suleimanov (1922–1995) was a Chechen researcher, teacher, musician, artist and folk poet, who represented the spirit of his culture in his work. The depth of the romanticism and tragedy of the personality is reflected in his lyrical epic text “Bettan t1ulg” (“Moonstone”). This study is an attempt to understand the archetypal symbols of Akhmad Su-leimanov’s text “Bettan t1ulg” (“Moonstone”). In his lyric texts colors, sounds, the material world and the metaphysics of the souls of the heroes, awakened by the will of the poetic imagination in aesthetic catharsis, come to life. His poetry reflects both the cultural heritage of the Chechens and, in fact, the worldview that was characteristic for the author’s time. Attention is drawn to the originality of artistic searches, the specificity of the master’s texts, aimed at the poetic inclusion of numerous folklore plots that exist in the ethnoculture to his work.

В статье рассматривается роль приема исповедальности в малоисследованной ли-рике чеченского поэта Хусейна Сатуева, творчество которого развивалось в парадигме шестидесятничества. Выявляется структурно-семантическое значение базовых концептов, основанных на архетипах национального сознания, и художественных приемов реализа-ции исповедальных мотивов. Исповедальность трактуется как способ отражения автор-ского сознания, его чувств и размышлений, как возможность расширения диапазона изоб-ражения внутреннего мира лирического героя – второго «Я» биографического автора. Отмечается, что внутренний мир поэта и его духовная жизнь неразрывно связаны с при-родой, которая дает ему силы для противостояния внешним угрозам. Все свои чувства и эмоции Х. Сатуев выражает с помощью природных метафор, которые создаются в про-странственной парадигме. Единое семантическое пространство в лирике чеченского поэта образуется посредством художественного приема олицетворения, который имеет тради-ции в национальной фольклорной поэзии. Выявленный мотивный комплекс позволяет утверждать, что исповедальность является одним из устойчивых творческих приемов Х. Сатуева. The article examines the role of confession as a method in the little-studied lyric poetry of Chechen poet Khusein Satuev, whose work developed in the paradigm of the sixties. The author reveals structural and semantic meaning of basic concepts of archetypes of national consciousness and artistic techniques of realization of confessionary motives. Confession is interpreted as a way of reflecting the author’s consciousness, his feelings and thoughts, as an opportunity to expand the range of depiction of the inner world of the lyrical hero - the alter ego of the biographical au-thor. It is noted that the poet’s inner world and his psyche are inextricably linked with nature, which gives him the strength to withstand external threats. Kh. Satuev expresses all his feelings and emotions with the help of natural metaphors that are created in the spatial paradigm. A single semantic space in the lyrics of the Chechen poet is formed through the artistic device of personi-fication, which is traced in national folk poetry. The identified motive complex confirms that con-fession is one of Kh. Satuev’s stable creative techniques.
