Neuropoietic and neuroesthetic aspects of the poetry of Erzhan Adilbekov

Abstract

Abstract. The research article examines the poetry of the poet Yerzhan Adilbekov, a master of words, as one of the innovative trends in modern Kazakh poetry in the context of the concepts of neuropoetics and neuroaesthetics. The relevance of the study is determined by its focus on the analysis of literary texts not only at the traditional poetic, structural or stylistic level, but also in connection with the cognitive, emotional and psychoaesthetic mechanisms of perception formed in the reader’s consciousness. Anthropocentric, cognitive and interdisciplinary paradigms in contemporary humanities require a deeper study of the relationship between literary text and human consciousness. From this point of view, the process of perception of a poetic work is considered as a complex phenomenon occurring at the mental and neurocognitive levels, as well as under the influence of aesthetic factors.

In recent years, the rapid development of neuropoetics and neuroaesthetics in the fields of world literature, aesthetics, and neurohumanities has allowed for a comprehensive study of the influence of works of art on the human brain, thought system, emotional state, and aesthetic perception. These directions allow us to clarify the relationship between the poetic structure of a literary text and the cognitive reactions of the reader. Within the framework of this scientific approach, the poetry of the poet E. Adilbekov is described as a complex artistic system that influences the reader’s inner psychological space through figurative thinking, symbolic codes, metaphorical structures, and emotional depth. The imagery and semantic depth of the poet's poetry evoke cognitive and emotional reactions in the reader, creating a new level of aesthetic perception.

The aim of the study is to identify the neuropoetic and neuroaesthetic aspects of poetic structures in the poetry of the poet E. Adilbekov and to scientifically describe the features of their perception in the reader’s mind. In accordance with this goal, the following objectives were set. First, to systematize the theoretical and methodological foundations of the concepts of neuropoetics and neuroaesthetics in literary studies. Secondly, to analyze the psychoesthetic impact of the system of images and artistic methods on the poet's poetry. Thirdly, to determine the relationship between the poetic text and the reader's consciousness. 

The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time the poetry of the poet E. Adilbekov is examined comprehensively from a neuropoetic and neuroaesthetic point of view. In the article, along with the aesthetic function of poetic images, their cognitive and emotional impact, mental aspects are revealed, and the nature of the influence of the poet's poems on the reader's consciousness is scientifically understood. The results of the study reveal the scientific and theoretical significance of using modern interdisciplinary methods in the study of Kazakh poetry.
