PARADIGMS OF THE IMAGE OF THE WELL IN THE WORKS OF H. MURAKAMI AND A. KEKILBAYEV

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the paradigms of meaning formation and the artistic and psychological interpretation of the image of the well in the story "The Well" by Abish Kekilbaev and the novel by Haruki Murakami "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle". The conducted comparative analysis made it possible to observe the determinism of the image of the image of the well with the national and cultural attitudes of the writers, and with the peculiarities of the creative individuality of the authors. Examples are given that testify to the various ways and creative possibilities of associative-semantic transformations of the authors to create new codes of meaning increment. The analysis of the semo-connatative potential of the author's position in the depiction of the elements reveals the cultural, mythological paradigms of the personal perception of the world by national writers. The artistic and aesthetic significance of the metaphorical way of depicting the image of a well as an integral part of the artistic individuality of each artist of the pen is revealed. The problem-comparative and contextual analyzes, the semantic-semiotic approach made it possible to discover the common and special in the artistic, symbolic content of the substance of the well in the myths and legends of the Japanese and Kazakh peoples, and the descriptive analysis of the works of scientists who specifically studied the essence, role and vital significance, the spiritual foundations of interpretation the image of a well in the knowledge of different peoples, became the basis for expanding and deepening the object and subject of research. An ethnocultural comparison of the content plan and the expression plan in the texts under consideration made it possible to determine the features of the semantic interpretation of the image of the well in the author's intention of the two writers. Cluster analysis has shown that the metaphorical thinking of A. Kekilbaev and H. Murakami differ significantly in axiological and ontological terms. The scientific significance of the work: along with the identification of specific value-ethical interpretations of the image of the “well” in two cultures, it was also revealed for the first time that the metaphorical worldview of the authors performs a complex artistic function in a concise and voluminous interpretation of certain problems of the ethno-cultural identity of the characters. The article presents its own view that the image of the well is used to understand the most significant contradictions of the personality, which makes it possible for the authors to penetrate into the deepest processes of development and degradation of a person, the causes and processes of the bifurcation of his consciousness, the unstable state between the poles of domination and subordination. The value and practical significance of conclusions about the features and differences in the perception of the water element in Japanese and Kazakh cultures are emphasized.
