Abstract

The article systematically analyzes the specifics of the prose genre in Kazakh literary studies, the study of postmodernism in national literature, as well as artistic activity, the thematic idea of the prose genre in the works of J. Korgasbek. The conclusions, views and opinions of scientists on postmodernism in Kazakh literature are analyzed. Researchers B. Maitanov, A. Ismakova, L. Safronova, J. Zharylgapov, G. Saulembek and others. guided by the opinions of scientists, the works of Zhusupbek Korgasbek “Sokyr”, “Zhansebil”, “Zhakondann zhanary”, “Olmeytin kus” were analyzed from the point of view of phenomenological, comparative analysis and methods of literary hermeneutics (interpretation). Unlike historical prose, postmodern literature freely uses the concepts of time and space, serving human emotions, thoughts and dreams about the future. It is from this point of view that J. Korgasbek also wants to convey the author's ideas to readers based on his works and through the ideas in the artwork to draw attention to important things in the world of mankind. Black humor, which is the main features of postmodernism, violation of the traditional norm, self-mockery (self-irony), the mystery of the world of heroes, the impossibility of knowing the truth, simulacrum, etc. are studied by examples. In addition, the meaning of the heroes’ souls in a literary text was developed and studied, as was its interpretation from the point of view of the “reader-author” position in consciousness along with social conditions (existentialism).
