В статье специально исследуется один из ранних, недостаточно изученных текстуально этапов в творческой эволюции первого якутского поэта А. Е. Кулаковского. В этой связи предпринят целостный анализ самой известной поэмы "Сон Шамана" и ряда стихотворений поэта, написанных в начале 1910-х годов, в аспекте их индивидуальной поэтики и становления в целом литературной поэтики самого автора. Методологическим основанием предпринятого анализа стало развивающееся в современной филологии представление о поэтике (от Р.О. Якобсона до С. Ю. Неклюдова) как "формы структурирования" текста, связанной с механизмами порождения того или иного типа текста, прежде всего в аспекте различий литературного и фольклорного текстов. Методология рассмотрения поэтики отдельного произведения в указанных аспектах позволяет приблизиться к пониманию как диахронических процессов перехода от фольклора к литературе, так и связанных с этим изменений в формирующейся литературной поэтике на раннем этапе ее становления. Анализ текстов показывает, что рассматриваемый период в творчестве А. Е. Кулаковского представляет собой целостность особого, поэтического, плана, обозначая собой своего рода "поэтический ренессанс" поэта, ознаменовавшийся созданием произведений, определивших собственно литературную поэтику в якутской словесности и становление индивидуальной повествовательной манеры автора, принципиально отличающегося в этом случае от традиционного певца.
It is known that with the name A.E. Kulakovsky is associated with the origin and formation of Yakut literature. Despite all the previous studies and general assessments of the initial stage of the formation of a national literature, what remain insufficiently studied are the internal patterns of the establishment of the literary type of text within the works of the poet. The process of formation of poetics of a literary text that unfolded in his works in the 1910's has not yet been a subject of a special study, in particular in the aspect of modern methodological approaches to what is known as “poetics”. Meanwhile, the understanding of “poetics” as a framework of analysis of the holistic form of text structure allows us to reappraise the evolutionary and, particularly, poetological changes within the text itself, both literary and folklore, which has been developed in a number of works on the typology of literature and folklore. (R.O. Jacobson, V.N. Toporov, S.Yu. Neklyudov and others). The purpose of the study is to analyze the corpus of A.E. Kulakovsky's works within the 1910's, which determined the formation of his narrative poetics which characterize a literary text. The objectives of the study include reviewing the specified range of works by A.E. Kulakovsky in the aspect of the formation of poetic principle within and in the context of the formation of the literary text itself in Yakut literature as a whole. As a result of the study it was ascertained that this particular period of poet's growth, where works such as the poem “Shaman's Dream” and its adjacent corpus of poems were created, should be considered as the “Renaissance” period of his work. For the first time, we have identified and described the narrative strategies and the poet's creative ideas that dictated them, which determine the aspects and his holistic at that time vision of the characteristics of literature as opposed to folklore. The narrative style of A.E. Kulakovsky developed by this period, is analyzed here in the aspect of internal patterns of authorial creation of a literary text. The “poetic principle” found at different layers of works of this period indicates that awareness of the literary specificity of text and the associated novel style of authorship predetermined the formation of A.E. Kulakovsky's individual narrative style and the patterns of his literary growth during his creative prime of the early 10's of the 20th century.
