Spatiotemporal representations of Zeytun Tolgurov's prose (Part 1)

The article (Part 1) examines one of the most pressing issues in modern literary criticism in the North Caucasus: the degree to which national literatures (in this case, Balkar) conform to the parameters and typological features of newly written systems in their interaction with the larger context of Soviet literature. The main theoretical premise of the study is the presence in modern regional literatures of two autonomous lines of evolutionary development that meet the requirements of the doctrine of socialist realism and the parameters of the authentic aesthetic consciousness of the peoples of the region. According to the authors of the work, Z.Kh. Tolgurova's work is a very illustrative example of the formation in the depths of ideologically determined literary thinking of individual, ethnically determined interpretations of the picture of the surrounding world, and this happens at the levels of subconscious reflection, in the sphere of spatiotemporal relationships. The work (in its first, presented part) proves that a sharp jump in the architectural complexity of the works of Z.Kh. Tolgurov, observed in his work of the late 60s - the first half of the 70s, is due to the writer’s appeal to folklore samples and does not depend on the donor influence of Russian Soviet literature. This, in turn, radically changes the markers and institutional features of such conceptually significant concepts as “accelerated development” and “newly written literature”, which are, today, fundamental for literary studies of the peoples of the North Caucasus.
