From multiple interpretations to synthesis: How to define "Russian-language literature"?

The article explores the complexity of Russian-language literature in the context of globalization and intercultural interaction. The authors aim to integrate various approaches into a comprehensive concept that reflects the multifaceted nature of cultural identities and literary traditions. The relevance of this study lies in the growing importance of the Russian language as a mediator between cultures in the post-Soviet space. The research is based on Russian-language literary texts authored by writers of diverse nationalities, including those from Russia, Central Asia, and other regions. These works illustrate how national traditions, globalization, and personal identities intertwine to form a rich and diverse literary landscape. In this context, the Russian language functions not only as a means of communication but also as a symbol of cultural synthesis. The research methods applied in the study include typological, comparative-analytical, and hermeneutic approaches. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of terminology and the concepts related to transculturalism and identity. The study also discusses how social and historical transformations influence the self-identification of Russian-language authors and their literary characters. The research process traces the evolution of perspectives on Russian-language literature - from its perception as a phenomenon of diaspora to its recognition as an independent literary tradition. Examples from literary texts demonstrate how the themes of globalization, internal conflicts, and identity searches are reflected in the narratives. The authors reveal the connection between individual experiences and social contexts, emphasizing the significance of cultural memory. As a result, the authors conclude that Russian-language literature represents a hybrid cultural phenomenon combining national and global elements. It serves as a crucial tool for intercultural dialogue and creates a unique literary space where tradition and innovation intersect. The study highlights the importance of adopting a comprehensive approach to the analysis of Russian-language literature, taking into account cultural diversity and historical dynamics. The overall conclusion emphasizes that Russian-language literature is not only a literary phenomenon but also a reflection of broader social and cultural processes. The authors argue that this literature contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between identity, language, and culture in the context of globalization. The authors declare no conflicts of interests.
