Intertextuality in the works of I.P. Shchegolikhin

Abstract

The article attempts to highlight the problem: can works created in the same historical period, based on previous literary experience, form their own style of the era and a special type of image of
the author. The authors of the article believe that in the literary text “intertwine”, connecting, signs that
go back to different works, elements of other texts-predecessors are combined, as a result of which the
text is a “mosaic of quotations “preserving” foreign sounds”, where new lines appear on top of existing
ones.
In the article, the authors say that the work of I. Shchegolikhin developed in the context of cultural
interaction in the cross-border territories of Kazakhstan and Russia, so I. p. Shchegolikhincan rightly be
called a representative of Eurasian culture, a Kazakhstani with a special worldview, which is reflected in
the implementation of the artistic intent of his works. The author also discusses the issues related to the
fact that each work of the writer, building its intertextual field, creates its own history of culture. The authors of this article, relying on the theory of intertextuality and using the elements of intertextual analysis,
interpret the individual picture of the world created by the creative imagination of the artist through the
prism of the functions of intertextual connections in different works, thereby revealing the peculiarities
of the style of a certain era.
