Neomythologism suppose to use both traditional archetype complexes and many-sided mythologists, and establishment of its own original mythscheme, authors’ mythologies. More bright aspire to new reading and creating of traditional and authors mythology, building an important conceptually and picturesque lines are showed by the works of the Kazakh postmodernists (D. Nakipov, А. Zhaksylykov, H. Adibayev), bravely and artistically successfully using the world (Apocalypse, Tree of Life and others) and creating original authors’ mythologems. Symbolic-mythological plan of work by enriching poetics of work with new ways of figurativeness and stylistics, discover its deep meanings. Polycultural discourse sequentially is realized also by building into an intertext (direct and hidden allusion, reminiscence to world sources, citation).

Rich arsenal of figurativeness and symbology of neomythologism considerably enhance art perspectives of the modern Kazakh prose. KEY WORDS: artistic method, author’s neomythologism, neomythologism, mythologem, “mythological chains”, poly-cultural discourse.
