The motif of “Human passion for Peri” in modern Kazakh stories. (Based on the stories of K. Mubarak)

Abstract

Currently, the statement “there is an abstract life separate from the consciousness of humanity” is becoming increasingly widespread in science. In this article, mystical and mythological images living outside the world dimension, including the use of the image “Peri” in modern Kazakh stories, are analyzed in comparison with the plot lines found in mythical and folklore works, in connection with the knowledge, beliefs, and culture of humanity. The role of mythical thinking and mythical motifs in the artistic world of modern Kazakh writers is determined. The methods and techniques of ancient myth in the modern poetic system are clarified based on their use in the stories of K.Mubarak. Analyzing the image of the “daughter of peri”, an attempt is made to reveal the hidden mythology of  individual author’s images and motifs in literature and the process of interaction of mythological and folklore representations in the author's text.
