The Ethno-world of the Nenets writer Yuri Vella: Concepts. Reception

The article is devoted to the formation and development of artistry of the newly written Nenets literature. The main goal was to determine the origins and reveal the ethnocodes of artistic concepts and conceptosphere. Among the tasks was the manifestation of their role and significance in the creation of the image system. There was also a search for methodological approaches to comprehending the complex and little-studied literary process that takes place in peculiar conditions of transculturation. Interdisciplinary, historical-cultural and comparativist approaches were substantiated and activated, and analytical and synthetic reading of texts was used. The research was conducted on the material of Yuri Vella's texts written both in Nenets and Khanty languages and translated into Russian, and those created by him in Russian. The author's active search for peculiar genres and his aspiration to preserve his ancestral ethnicity in the process of transculturation are noted. The specificity of symbolism of a number of transformed and embodied primordial images (archetypes) is revealed. The difference between cognitive and artistic concepts is outlined. It is shown how artistic concepts and the conceptosphere, including mental signs and phenomena preserved by the historical memory of Nenets, participate in the creation of images and the development of plots, in the embodiment of the chosen idea and the disclosure of the theme.
