INTERACTION OF FICTION AND FOLKLORE IN THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECT

Abstract

The article considers the main problems of interaction between folklore and literature in European discourse. The work emphasizes that the conceptual content of the term «folklore of literature» is complex and multifaceted. The study of folklore and folklore of literature as a phenomenon of diachronic connection of generations is an effective means of preserving and retransmitting the historical memory of the people, awareness of national identity; the analysis is carried out that in this process of national self-awareness, cultural creation folklore and its dialogue with literature is extremely important. The relationship between folklore and literature is mostly a dialogical two-dimensional process, ie the folklore of literature is realized simultaneously when a folklore work or its element enters literature, and the «literaryness» of folklore when the «book» text is folklorized. The focus is on distinguishing the stages of intersystem folklore-literary interaction as a process of improving the formal and semantic features. The theoretical and methodological generalization of the relationship between literature and folklore, which is the ratio of individual (author's) and collective (folk), traditional (folk) and new (author's) in the process of creating a work of art and the dynamics of aesthetic interaction. Theoretically and methodologically it is appropriate to analyze the literary and folklore relationship in terms of phenomenology, system, functioning, genetic (or historical) development and in terms of typology. The specificity of the relationship between the two types of literature can be traced, which convinces us that the genetic relations in them are typologically different both within each of the species and between them. The works of domestic and foreign scholars are observed, who observed and noted that the most common form of folklore-literary ties of Ukrainian and Slavic literature is the use of folklore sources of neighboring, related in origin, history and language of the people.
