THE MYTHOLOGICAL BASIS OF THE STORY “DOG MAYRA KURKA” (BRAVE HEART KURYUKO) I.A. DAKHKILGOVA

Abstract

This article discusses an urgent problem of interaction of myth and literature, which is studied on the basis of the story of the Ingush writer I.A. Dakhkilgova “Dog mayra Kurka” (Brave heart Kuryuko). The work is analyzed from the point of view of folk poetic traditions embodied in the structure of artistic discourse. The tendency to appeal to mythological plots, rituals, images is relevant even in the ancient period of history and was continued in Ingush literature, including the work of Ibrahim Dakhkilgov. As a result of the study, the place and role of the Ingush myth “Sons of the Blizzard” in the art system of the work is determined. It is noted that I.A. Dakhkilgov rethought the plot of the myth and gave it a different conceptual focus. The motive of self-sacrifice for the benefit of the people, influencing the formation of heroic pathos, becomes a key in the story.
