THE GENRE OF LITERARY FAIRY TALE IN THE WORKS OF KAZAKHSTANI GERMANS

Abstract
Abstract - This article constitutes a scholarly exploration of the literary fairy tale genre within the framework of German authors residing in Kazakhstan. The author conducts an analysis of four contemporary fairy tale texts authored by German writers, with particular attention to their mythopoetic and intertextual elements. The research centers on elucidating the impact of cultural contexts on the genesis of fairy tales within this specific community. The author's ultimate findings suggest that the literary fairy tales produced by the German community in Kazakhstan are reflective of the aesthetics of German Romanticism and uphold the tradition of Christmas narratives, all the while encapsulating the distinctive cultural elements of modern Kazakh literature. Furthermore, the study underscores the significance of safeguarding and academically investigating this distinctive facet of the cultural heritage of the German community in Kazakhstan.
