Variations of Artistic Game According to Georgian Modernistic Novels

Summary/Abstract: In the Georgian modernistic novels, we mean, Grigol Robakidze’s “The Snake Skin’’, Konstantine Gamsakhurdia’s “Dionysus’ smile’’ and Demna Shengelaia’s “Sanavardo’’, the game is revealed as a new mastery, a different level of art, which determines the form of artistic text. There is an opinion, that artistic creativity is a peculiar kind of game. Game elements are in all three above-mentioned novels. First of all, it seems in the style of narrative and in the composition of artistic system. For example, the epigraph of “Sanavardo’’ can be considered as some kind of musical and semantic tone of novel and that artistic games, that is represented. This can be considered as cryptogram, which is easy to understand for Georgian readers, because they know the well-known Georgian text literature, from which this fragment is given. And for those readers for whom this work is unknown, we mean “The Martyrdom of The Holy Queen Shushanik’’ by Jacob Tsurtaveli, epigraph will become clear idea after all understanding the essence of the novel. There are association replacement or interchange in the Georgian modernistic novels. Sometimes, at fi rst sight, quite unexpectedly one episode followed by another episode. This association connection is often ironical and causes the feeling of expectations. In a certain sense some kind of carnival feeling also appeared in such episodes. This represents a devaluation of values. This demonstrates that the society no longer appreciates the old, traditional values and has pseudo cultural attitudes. There are close to each other and we often meet both tragic and comic episodes in novels, or including ironical echo, which strengthens the feeling of tragicomedy of life and, in this way, the reader is relieved from unpleasant tension. It is known that European culture was based on two traditions, very different from each other’s stylistic system. One of them is linked to Homer’s epic, the second one is related to the Bible. Homer’ style means the complete description of subject and events, narrative clarity. The second style is different. One episode is often separated from others. The rest is the shadow of another episode. The story is narrated in fragmentary. This kind of artistic work contains a lot of symbols, which needs understanding. Artistic work requires appropriate method of interpretation. These two stylistic systems are assimilated with each other in Georgian modern novel. It is known that European culture was based on two traditions, very different from each other’s stylistic system. One of them is linked to Homer’s epic, the second one is related to the Bible. Homer’ style means the writers are using artistic elements of games in all three novels in order to defi ne, on the one hand, the character of personage, on the other hand, the epoch, society, human relations, to paint the preceding time and the eternal spirit of mankind.
