Littérature kurde de la période soviétique (années 1930-1990) : prose, poésie et dramaturgie kurdes avec leurs systèmes d'images, leur langage et leurs thèmes principaux

Abstract

The current work concerns a study of Soviet Kurdish literature from 1930 to 1990. Our objective is to bring together all the documentation regarding this new literature and to show its artistic potential as well as its vitality. To this end, we will start with a general review of the history of the Kurds in the Tsarist Russian and then the communist empire. This will be followed by a presentation of Soviet Kurdish literature and an examination of the principal works of its authors. This literature is presented and analysed in its two main periods : the 1930s and 40s, which are its formative years and the period from the 50s to 90s which covers the period of the thaw and of its artistic flowering. Each of these periods is sub-divided, thus allowing us better to analyse the process of literary works published from 1921 to the end of 90s.

Each of these periods is sub-divided, thus allowing us better to analyse the process of literary development. Finally, an extensive bibliography covers all the Kurdish literary works published from 1921 to the end of the 90s. This literature was able to preserve and develop its oral traditions while adapting itself to the requirements of contemporary art, even when it was obliged to follow the Communist Party's line. This fusion of past and present thus give birth to a complex, original and gifted literature that absorbed the best of Armenian, Georgian and Russian literature. However, through its experience of a particular historic environment, Kurdish literature of the USSR shows its patriotism : the Kurdish people, its history, its culture and destiny make the warp and woof of its thematic background.
