THE ROLE OF INTERNET-FORUMS IN DEVELOPMENT OF BASHKIR STORYTELLING ART

Abstract

The modern stage of the Bashkir storytelling art is determined by the rather massive nature of the propagation and popularization of traditions of improvisation in the Internet environment, in particular, at the sesenical forums of users of social networks “Vkontakte” and “Odnoklassniki”. Despite its relatively young age, the activities of Internet communities of wit-improvisers is growing up from year to year opening a lot of names worthy of the title “Sesen”. The necessity for timely study and analysis of the creativity of the sesen-participants of Internet forums is particularly relevant because of that it was the storytelling art which was fundamental in the education of the younger generation. The purpose of this study is to highlight the issues of modern Bashkir storytelling, presented in the Internet environment. When solving the problem of the study it was based on materials of Internet forums on the pages of communities of social networks “Vkontakte” and “Odnoklassniki”, in particular, the works (kubairs, aityshes, takmaks, baits) of single sesens later included in the collection “Халыҡ ынйылары: Әйтештәр” (“The People’s pearls: aityshes”), published by the efforts of F. Kutlugildina (Sterlitamak, 2015). Biographical, comparative and hermeneutic methods of research are used in the course of studying the creativity of the sesens presented at the Internet forums. The creators of the first communities in social networks and the founders of sesen Internet forums are Gumer Gaysin and Daut Amangildin (pen name Nizam Iskhakov), natives of Orenburg region. The current moderator and active participant of Internet forums in the field of storytelling art is Fauziya Kutlugildina from Gafuriysky district. Sesen contests on the pages of communities which discovered the names of more than a dozen improvisers marked the beginning of the Republican contest for narrators (sesens) named after sesenBaikAydar (2015, 2018), “Салауат әйтеше – 2019” as a part of the folklore festival “Салауат йыйыны”. As can be seen from their creations, sesens are not indifferent to the problems of the people, worries for the native land, for the native language. The functioning of the Internet forums is of great importance in the further development of the Bashkir storytelling art.
