DIALOGISM OF YAKUT LITERATURE

M. Burtseva, A. Burtsev, T. Ptitsyna

Abstract

The material of Yakut literature is a great illustration to the problem of the dialogue between cultures. Typological parallels can be found between Yakut Olonkho and other peoples` heroic songs, for example, Turkic heroic songs and European archaic significant sites like Celtic legends and Scandinavian Poetic Edda. The old comparative linguistics exceptionally found similarity reasons of artistic-literary phenomena in immediate connections, migratory subjects or mythological archetypes. But representatives of the modern science believe that similarity in the field of artistic creation might be the result of conditions coincidence, unity of the historical destiny of the people, and the commonness of historical cultural development stages. Speaking about Yakut literature, its founders could naturally combine ethnical and folkloristic roots and traditions of Russian and world classic literature. Through this, Yakut literature not only showed many great masters of the pen, but also became a literary art, which has made a significant contribute to the common literary and art development and has established its place in all-Russian and global cultural space. The experience of origin and development of Yakut literature, with all its unique character, seems to have typological resemblant features with the process of literary art not only in Russia, but also in some countries of Latin America, Africa and the Orient.
