| Abstrakt: |
This article, subjecting to theoretical comprehension the works available in European, Russian and Kazakh science devoted to the problems of researching archetypal constants, aims at a holistic analysis of two legends related to Turkic, in particular, Kazakh, mythology: about the first creator of a musical instrument – kobyz Korkyt and the singer Asan Kaigy. The archetypes of birth, death, art, an old wise man, roads and others that embody national ideas about human and world order, on the one hand, and reflect the long experience of mankind, on the other, are subjected to scrupulous analysis. Typological analysis of these legends made it possible to see the common in their content core: both heroes, in search of the “promised land”, find something more – spiritual rebirth through serving their people with the art of words and music and immortality through this.
