Revisiting «women’s poetry» in Dagestan literature in 1950s

Abstract

In the modern world with an ever-increasing interest in the development of artistic culture, many new works of literature and art appear. In this context the study of the history of certain aspects of the Dagestan culture (literature and art, etc.) is relevant today and its studying should be carried out in close connection with the development of the Dagestan multinational culture as a whole. In this regard, the problem of women’s literature and the «female image» in literature is also relevant.

The article considers some aspects of women’s literary creativity, the place of female literature and an «image of a woman» in Dagestan literature in 1950s, and gender difference in covering female issues. For this purpose, special monographic studies and media materials have been used.

In conclusion, the image of a positive hero has been noted as one of the main themes in Dagestan literature in the post-war period and 1950s. The issue of the Great Patriotic War was too close and heavy; it was also reflected in the works of women poets. Dagestan poets and writers paid special attention to highlighting the heavy fate of mountain women who actively fought for their free future and the desire to actively participate in the social, political and cultural life of the Republic.
