Abstract

Ulizkaya is an woman-writer, who has the most readers in Russia. Her works distinguish itself many cultural images, extensive horizon, concluding many historian period story. But nowadays comments on her works still focus on series of heroes, introduction and analyse of concrete work, not so much on the whole character of her creative method. She has rich cultural knowledge and original viewpoint on life, and so her works brings style of traditional myth both on subject and structure. In to meaning of work she puts idea of the russian philosophy to life and living. Which theory should be chosed to analyse her works, and achieve character of her creation in whole? We will choose the poetics of myth.As the view of german romantism on literature, the myth is the most ideal model of art, any literatural work is a re-creation on traditional myth. And russian mythilist Meletinsky thinks, that the mythologism is marked phenomean in 20 century’s literature. It is both a article method and a weltanschauung, on which the method depends. At the same time he points out, that mythologism of literature is in the display of some eternal immovable elements, in demonstration of the elements, which is always obvious under the layer of life and history. And the embodiment of this eternity in the structure of work is passage out the border of history and time. Embodiment in narration is the original reproduction on traditional ceremony.This thesis holds that the character of Ulizkaya as followed: mix deep thinking and daily event together, and express it in simple stories. The structure of her works disorganize time-logic, narratation don’t according to the concrete time-logic, the content and structure are very like the myth. Ulizkaya puts traditional culture in the reality, gives it new content, reconstructs the structure of the world, points out function of human being in the reality, and by this way traditional culture receives new modern meaning. The narrational method which disorganizes time-logic shortens the distance between reality and history, makes attention of readers moving from story to the inner spriritual logic. This thesis holds that the series works of Ulizkaya forms ?new female myth?.This thesis selects four novels of Ulizkaya as materiel, analyse focuses on two aspects—creative theme and structure of works. In the part of creative theme there will be 5 aspects: character, relationship among characters, real world, spiritual world and resolution of contradiction. The part of creative structure includes two divisions—narrative structure and symbolic structure. The composition of this work is decided by the unique feature of Ulizkaya’s creation: a syncretism which overcomes dualistic oppose synthesizes two worlds and person on the bandary. In this syncretism spirit-person-reality influence each other and coordinate, and person as dynamic role is in the center. So in order to express the idea which Ulizkaya endows in the syncretism the part of creative theme won’t limit in analys of characters, but discusses image of person in works’world—including the inheritance from tradition and the recreation of the character from his voyage in works’world—and the dynamic role of character in this world, points out the imitation of work to“transitive ceremony”. Just because the syncretism and imitation to transitive ceremony define unique feature of creative structure. In second part at first discucc narrative structure. This section focuses on the promotion of stry, analyses irrationalism and synchronism of narrative clues, and points out that the dynamic power is not external narrative logic but internal symbolic logic.Second section of analysis of symbolic structure will focus on the arrangements of the ideal layers, finger on that the dynamic power of Ulizkaya’s works is not development of story, but the spiritual deepening received by readers in reading and recreation, this kind of writing gives reader enough place to act on his own. The third part will base on result of first two parts and combines with traditional female myth, summarizes upper discussion and reveals Ulizkaya’s creative idea and the reason why she turned to Children’s literature.This thesis is both a totally analysis to Ulizkaya’s creation and a practical research for the theory of mythical poetics.
