ӘДЕБИЕТТЕГІ КРОССОВЕР ЖАНРЫ ЖӘНЕ ҚАЗІРГІ ҚАЗАҚ ПРОЗАСЫ

Abstract

The article comprehensively examines the phenomenon of crossover in modern Kazakh prose through the lens of genre transformation, audience universality, and intertextual connections. The relevance of the study is driven by the need for a scientific substantiation of the blurring of traditional genre boundaries, the rise of "literature for children and adults" (kiddult literature), and the integration of national identity with global cultural trends. The research aims to identify crossover features in the works of M. Magauin, T. Asemkulov, D. Ashimkhanuly, and M. Omarova, determining their mythopoetic foundations and significance in preserving cultural identity. Systemic-descriptive, mythopoetic, hermeneutic, and intertextual analysis methods were employed during the study. The findings demonstrate that folkloric elements in modern Kazakh novels and short stories represent a contemporary artistic manifestation of ancient epics, myths, and oral traditions. The nature of crossover is viewed not merely as a genre synthesis but as an authorial strategy to establish an intellectual dialogue with audiences of varying age groups. Furthermore, the study explores how the fusion of mythical imagery with realistic elements expands the communicative scope of literature and facilitates the revitalization of national cultural codes within a global context. Crossover elements are evaluated as a primary factor enhancing the intellectual and aesthetic weight of modern Kazakh prose, revealing its profound cultural, philosophical, and pedagogical potential.
