TO THE QUESTION OF MYTHOPOETICS IN BATYRBEK TUGANOV’S WORKS

Abstract:
The frontier of the XIX-XX centuries reveals the most interesting features of cultural vectors,
shows the ways of synthesis and integration of various areas and types of arts, styles, philosophical
bases of worldview systems. The work of one of the brightest Ossetian writers Batyrbek Tuganov
developed in line with the realistic system laid down by the Russian literary tradition of the 19th
century. At the same time, his artistic thinking is built under the strongest influence of the features
of national Ossetian culture. The culture of realism of the XIX century strive for demythologization.
But Tuganov lives and works at the turn of centuries, when, on the contrary, interest in myth, symbol,
ancient ciphers of art is revived. In the works of Batyrbek Tuganov, a number of mythopoietic
constructs born in the bowels of the archaic Ossetian culture and having sacred imagery can be
distinguished. The picture of the world of this writer is complex, multilevel and surprisingly organic
and capacious in its architectonics of a realistic plot and mythopoietic timeless essence of images and
events. The peculiarity of Tuganov’s handwriting is that he always writes out images very whole,
convex, factual. The author brings portraits of characters and storylines to the scale of mythological
integrity of perception. This principle of work on a literary text could be facilitated by the talent of
B. Tuganov-artist, the skills of the sculptor, painter and draftsman, and the implemented internal
creative mechanism for visualizing the verbal image. When reading the works of Tuganov, the
psychology of a person far from the period of archaic is mounted with the syncretic basis of our
subconscious. Tuganov’s realism becomes a genetic continuation of the deep and ancient mythologism
of Ossetian culture, strengthens its position and reaches a new figurative-semantic level. Despite the
fact that the works of Batyrbek Tuganov “Hanifa” and “Shepherd Bade” analyze a number of features
of the mythological text, Tuganov remains a realist. His realism is that the writer reveals a failure
in the coordinate system of the traditional world order, a violation of the mythological harmony of
man and the world. The neorealist method seems to “crack” the ancient codes of the established world
order, forcing us to even sharper perceive the mythologies of our culture.
