Abstract

In modern Kazakhstanian female prose written in Russian language the postmodern aesthetics with a pronounced parody, humor (ironic and self-ironic) origin, deconstructing traditionalist canons based on myth and folklore, have noticeably prevailed. Female prose is a soft force that determines a smooth transition to a new worldview that distances itself from tradition through the “oscillation composition”, the release of shadow impulses of the collective unconscious, previously suppressed by the clear organization of a homogeneous traditional society, adaptation characters with a “double bottom”, a labyrinth chronotope, delayed, incomplete initiation, carnivalization, releasing affects and illustrating the concept of natural and historical background associated with crisis, turning points in the life of society and man, etc. Psychoanalytic literary criticism, together with artistic anthropology, feminist and mythological criticism, helps to decode the hidden processes in the modern Kazakhstani literature which are still ripening in the context of a period of incomplete social and historical transition
