The role of folklore symbols in the civil lyrical poetry of R. Kharis

   The article studies the functional and nominative field of folklore symbolism in the civil lyrical poetry of R. Kharis.

   The relevance of the study is due to the fact that nominative functions of folklore symbolism in the poet’s civic lyrical poetry have not been examined in such depth and scope before, therefore, we need to identify specific features of semantic transformations of folklore images-symbols based on individual samples of civic lyrical poetry of the 1960^s–1980^s.

   The object of the research is poetic texts, in which folklore symbolism, undergoing semantic transformations, occupies a significant place.

   The scientific novelty is determined by a different approach to the study of civil lyrical poetry of R. Kharis: the study focuses on identifying the ideological, semantic and functional originality of folklore images-symbols, as well as their transformations.

   A structural-semiotic analysis of poetic texts, their assessment in ideological-nominative and functional integrity will make it possible to highlight new facets not only in the poet’s work, but also in the development of Tatar civic lyrical poetry of the 1960^s–1980^s. The article argues that the iteration of folklore images in the civil lyrical poetry of R. Kharis has become the basis of a new type of artistic style. Firstly, they act as custodians and disturbers of national traditions in the poet’s work. Secondly, they contribute to the two- or three-level organization of the poetic text, playing the role of subtext, providing their “double reading”. Thirdly, they make it possible to step over the ideological schematism of the Soviet era, expand and deepen both the philosophical and semantic ranges of works. In this way, the poet enriches civic lyrical poetry with philosophical motifs and transforms it within the framework of a non-classical paradigm.
