FOLK FESTIVALS AND RITUALS OF THE GUDAMAKARI GORGE AS REFLECTED IN THE STORIES OF GODERDZI CHOKHELI

Summary/Abstract: First and foremost, it should be noted that within the scope of our scholarly research, we have examined a range of compelling trends in the literary works of Goderdzi Chokheli. However, the subject addressed in this particular essay diverges fundamentally in both its essence and scholarly significance. Whereas our previous studies primarily explored textual interpretation and followed a literary-critical trajectory, the present work assumes far greater importance within the realm of ethnological inquiry. It is well established that Goderdzi Chokheli’s literary and artistic works are deeply rooted in the life and customs of the Gudamakari Gorge. Much of his writing draws upon factual material and is enriched with autobiographical elements. For Chokheli, the Gudamakari Gorge is not merely a setting, but a living manuscript awaiting interpretation. Through his texts, he endeavors to resurrect the ethnocultural characteristics of his native region (traits that, with the passage of time, risk fading into the mist of forgetfulness), thus preserving them within the enduring medium of literature.
