Abstract

Identity is the overarching topic connecting most of the texts written by Iurii Serebrianskii, one of the leading representatives of so-called “Young” Russophone literature in Kazakhstan. This paper analyses how the topic is presented and what concepts of identity are integrated in four of the author’s best known works: Destination. Dorozhnaia pastoral’ (2010), Prazhaki (2014), Kazakhstanskie skazki (2017), and Altynshash (2018). I argue that Serebrianskii’s use of the Russian language, together with his explicit self-positioning in the Russophone world rather than the Russian world, is significant in the first two texts but loses importance through the later course of his work, both on a textual level and beyond. This development corresponds to a change in Serebrianskii’s reading audience. While he targeted a broader Russophone readership in his early work, he wrote his latter works for a primarily Kazakhstani readership, thereby shaping the emerging discourse of a polyphonic Kazakhstani identity.

“你要住在哪里?”用什么语言?——《在尤里·塞雷布里扬斯基的俄语散文中寻找身份
身份是贯穿尤里·谢列布里扬斯基(urii Serebrianskii)大部分作品的首要主题,他是哈萨克斯坦所谓“年轻”俄语文学的主要代表之一。本文分析了这个主题是如何呈现的,以及在作者最著名的四部作品中整合了哪些身份概念:目的地。Dorozhnaia pastoral(2010)、Prazhaki(2014)、Kazakhstanskie skazki(2017)和Altynshash(2018)。我认为,谢列布良斯基对俄语的使用,以及他在俄语世界而不是俄语世界中的明确自我定位,在前两个文本中很重要,但在他的作品的后期过程中,无论是在文本层面还是在其他层面,都失去了重要性。这一发展与Serebrianskii的读者群体的变化相对应。虽然他在早期作品中以更广泛的俄语读者为目标,但他的后期作品主要是为哈萨克斯坦读者写的,从而塑造了一种复调的哈萨克斯坦身份的新兴话语。
