ISBN 9965-23-119-2 © Abdikadyrova T.R., Alimbayeva S.K., Nurmanaliyeva U.T., 2019 © Taraz state pedagogical university, 2019 FOREWORD We are the people who made belief from the honor and achieved an Independence through the love to life in honor of the national dream. The next goal is to keep our independence and to be an eternal country worthy of a new era. Our general national idea is that we are the state that takes the idea of «Mangilik Yel” as a main direction and turns perspective of our independence into the project of Nurly Zhol. That’s why, we should hardly work and male every effort in keeping the unity strong in Nurly Zhol. Mangilik Yel– the power of uniting the people, the future of the youth and an inexhaustible source of energy. It is not only a tireless idea of the strategy “Kazakhstan-2050” but also of the state of Kazakhstan in XXI century! The new Kazakhstan patriotism is Mangilik Yel! It is the great value of the whole Kazakhstan society. The bow of our past history, the pride of today's luck and confidence in a prosperous future are in the powerful notion “Mangilik Yel”. It is evident that only the united country would be able to bulid a light future and to define its individual fate in the conditions of a global emergencies and in global political and economic instability. “The life of people continues by its generation. The eternity of the people is here, i.e. it would be eternal by its generation… The idea of Mangilik Yel opens the door to our future, it is a symbol of lasting stability, - says the leader of the nation pointing out that the future of the idea Mangilik Yelis in the power of our youth who would realize the elder generation’s dream of becoming Mangilik Yel. Today the values of MangilikYel such as civil equality,conscientiousness, literacy, tolerance, true devotion and patriotism unites us.“Our predessecors said“If you think of a future year – grow a tree, if you think of an eternity – bring up a man”. The values of Mangilik Yelare the program of our wealthy future, that is why we should strengthen our common civic identity for our state’sunity and solidarity”, - says our leader, pointing out that the direction of the future is connected with the idea of an eternal country. Our Great Field is like a cradle of Modern Turkic peoples. The legends about Alash who is the ancestor of all the Turks the kuis of Korkyt, edifications of Kultegin – all of them related to Kazakh land, ancient roots of Turkic spirituality. Five centuries ago, the direct root of the tragic events in the Great Steppe - Kazakh Khanate was created and it went the glorious road, - after such leader’s words we can feel that there is a necessity of considering the deep researches of the ancient roots of Turkic spirituality, tragic events (Egemen Kazakhstan № 242 (28970) 2- 3 p.). At any stage of the centuries of history the future of our ancestors was foggy and suspicious. When the power was high, the land was expanded, when there was no unity the field narrowed. When there was a limit on the edge of the earth, conclude an agreement, they were unable to obtain a permanent residence. For thousand years, being on a horse, they defended our land making all the efforts”. But, we bow before our abcestors’ history who put up withall the storms of the era. Teaching our generation these sacred values, giving deep knowledge,developing a succession of generations, the tradition of “respect for the elder people, care for young people, support each other”, the formation of all traits based on diligence and the pursuit of knowledge– we should bear in mind that through all these capacities we can be an Eternal Country (Mangilik Yel). 3 Some years passed since we took our independence and it is evident what place would take our country in the world civilization and what goals we would achieve. On the horizon of the XXI century which was considered as a gold century of science and education our people had more dreams and goals, thoroughly analyzed the ideas concerned with our national history and culture, literature and language and formed the state ideology. It is evident that it was an idea of Kazakh people who dreamed of freedom, who wanted to be free and unauthorized, an idea that leads to the bright future in the way of great goals and dreams, it’s a national idea of “Mangilik Yel”. Today, the scientific and technical innovations that conquer civilizationare the base of the process of globalization. At the present time, in the era of various changes our country is famous for all over the world as a state with a bright future. The fate of Kazakh people today is bright, and the future is mature. Its clear the conceptual tendency based on humanistic interest such as “Love all the human people” (Abai)of the national figures is based on creation of humanism through the national idea of “Mangilik Yel”. Nowadays, the problems, historical data and literatural works covered the historic factors that are the reason for the idea of «Mangilik Yel” are thoroughly investigated. The following researchers works can be mentioned such as M.Zholdasbekov, K.Sartkhozha, U.Kurmanbaiuly, S.Syzdykov, S.Kanaev, Zh.Zhenis, S.Praliyev, K.Naribayev, K.Zhanpeissova, M.Koigeldiyev, Zh.Moldabekov, G.Kan, S.Imanbayeva, N.Khan, S.Kaliyeva, A.Kaidarova, R.Dzhanabayeva, A.Berikkhanova, B.Makhmetova, B.Saidakhmetov and others.Nevertheless, in these scientists’ works some social points of view and other issues concerned with the idea of «Mangilik Yel” were resolved, the idea of «Mangilik Yel” is not considered in the system of complex development,according to the society conditions the conclusions and the data are not developed mad thoroughly investigated on the conceptual basis. Also, beginning with the turkic era, passing through a number of centuries, the issues concerned with theturningofthe idea of «Mangilik Yel” into the leading national idea of the independent Kazakhstan is not considered carefully, the scientific theoretical bases are not discussed conceptually. In this work we are trying to consider and analyze the directions of the leading national idea “Mangilik Yel general national ideology”. Today, in the global epoch according to the future of the nation as a great direction of strenghtening the spirit of our country the idea of “Mangilik Yelgeneral national ideology” was decleared by the president of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the leader of the nation Nursultan Abishuly Nazarbayev in his message to the people of Kazakhstan “The way of Kazakhstan 2050: one goal, one interest, one future”. As it was said in thepresident’s strategically important message the idea of «Mangilik Yel” will be the fundamental idea that will achieve our country to its aims without any obstacles. Of course, it is evident that we achieve it due to the independence of our country. That is why, we should take great pains in keeping our independence and unity as a symbol of peace and stability, freedom and an ideal spirit, as a dream which was waited by our people for a long time, as a symbol of indestructible power.In connection with it, we know that our president in his message said that«Mangilik Yel” is our ancestors’ dream for thousand years. This dream was to become an independent state that will have an equal right in the world economy and other fields. This dream was a dream to become a happy state that will have a happy and a rich life, which generation will look to its future with confidence. We turned 4 this dream into reality. We laid the foundation of the eternal state» [1, 3 p.] – by these words our leader pointed out that we are able to become an eternal state keeping our independence carefully. Such ideas should be born in mind of our young generation. President in his work “The great heros of the Great Land” wrote: The unity of the people would build a palace and turn it into a castle. We relentlessly say this word and lift it up as a flag.

  • Constructive and Colouristic Peculiarities of the National Costume: the Phenomenon of the Kazakh Material Culture
    Man In India, 97 (6) : 37-45 © Serials Publications CONSTRUCTIVE AND COLOURISTIC PECULIARITIES OF THE NATIONAL COSTUME: THE PHENOMENON OF THE KAZAKH MATERIAL CULTURE Sabyrkul Zhaylaubekovna Assanova*, Tamara Mikhaylovna Stepanskaya**, Ainur Esmukhambetovna Assanova*, Balnur Esmukhambetovna Assanova*** and Yelzhan Bulatovich Kushekbayev*** Abstract: With the help of the archetypal approach the authors of the article examine constructive peculiarities and colour palettes of the national Kazakh costume. They prove that the development of the traditional dress and decorative and applied arts goes through the following historical stages: an everyday item – a museum piece – the style of life (fashion) – the object to be transformed into modern design. The article is mainly concerned with the recreation of artistic values in new historical environment which is also the reproduction of a certain ethnic and cultural identity in modern days. In this respect, the Kazakh national costume is analysed as a piece of traditional art that is implemented in modern culture due to specific stylistic, expressive and constructive methods. This methodology calls for thorough knowledge of the Kazakh history, the development of the national costume, its construction and colour palette, the study of ancient technologies and the introduction of new ones which can enrich projective and constructive methods as they inherit cultural and historical experience. As a result, the authors conclude that the Kazakh national costume is a system of spiritual, aesthetic and

Lermontov: “Alien” Text and Word-for-Word Translation Kuralay B. Urazayeva* Eurasian National University 2 Satpayev Str., Astana, 010008, Kazakhstan Received 13.01.2016, received in revised form 27.02.2016, accepted 04.04.2016 In Kazakh translations of M. Yu. Lermontov’s works in the 80-90-s, the combination of precise and free translations is observed with prevailing exact ones. From the 20-30-s up to present days, the same works of the Russian classicist are the objects of word-for-word translation. The aim of this article is an intention to understand the reasons of prevailing word-for-word translations and to generalize wide-spread methods of its transfer. Non-randomness of prevailing word-for-word translation in the reviewed sphere is justified by the structure of the Kazakh language, correlation of the direct and indirect expressions in the translated text, relations of the significant with the signified. Such an approach allowed justifying the conception on word-for-word translation as an analytical one. Other repeated, stable methods of meanings transfer also attract attention in word-for-word translation. It is a subjective and depictive descriptiveness and such relations between the expression and the graphics as the system of label relations, traditional symbolic character of the Kazakh poetic language that stipulate the rhetorical textual figures. The results of the project can be applied in theory and practice of literary translation, history of literature.

The Great Silk Road played the role of a link between countries of different civilizations and socio-economic systems. This huge system of caravan routes has existed for more than one and a half thousand years. The Great Silk Road became a channel through which there was a constant exchange in the field of culture and art, knowledge and ideas, traditions and objects. It is known that not only the goods themselves, but also information about their production, were distributed along the Silk Road. The scientific article presents a philosophical and cultural analysis of the interrelationships of cultures on the Silk Road, which ran through the famous Kokzhar fair.

As well as being a celebration of the triumph of new technology, this work also evokes memories of the nuclear arms race during the Cold War, in particular Kurchatov’s central role in the Soviet-era nuclear weapons tests. It is seen here alongside post-independence Kazakhstan’s ambitious plans for the development of nuclear power. The image Altar of the East, depicts the Soviet-era control panel in Kurchatov for detonating nuclear weapons. The iconic ‘Button’ of Cold War dread is pictured in this triptych of images as a relic of a past era giving way to a future of science and technology where women play the central roles, as depicted in The Constructor, a photo-collage superimposing a woman’s face onto images of the construction of Kazakhstan’s new capital Astana.

  • Reflections on the Contemporary Art of Kazakhstan
    http://dx.doi.org/10.7592/FEJF2016.63.art BETWEEN THE EAST AND THE WEST: REFLECTIONS ON THE CONTEMPORARY ART OF KAZAKHSTAN Madina Sultanova, Natalia Mikhailova, Dinara Amanzholova Abstract: The paper analyses a self-cognitive experience performed by Kazakh contemporary art, led by globalisation tendencies, in search of its place in the world. Two decades of independence have become the basis for a new cultural space, where Kazakhstan sees itself both as the most western of Oriental coun- tries and the most oriental of Western ones. Current lifestyles in Kazakh society, as well as the chosen political and economic vectors, considerably affect artis- tic consciousness, defining boundaries between ethno-cultural identity and the mainstream, which dictates its own terms and conditions. The present study focuses on art. In our opinion, it is the most illustrative area of visual creativity, which, faster than any other, reacts to each change in social mentality. The world reflected in a picture of one artist could reflect the world of the whole nation. Now the most interesting and important questions for Kazakhstan’s citizens focus on this problem. These are the same questions that can be found in the title of an emblematic painting by Paul Gauguin: Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? Keywords: contemporary art, identity, Kazakhstan, search, ways INTRODUCTION Culture is a fate... Lee Kuan Yew Modern Kazakhstan is a country that continues its transformation from multi- ethnic to mono-ethnic. This historical fact lays at the basis of many modern social processes. After the country became independent, the Kazakhs who not so long ago represented an ethnic minority became the biggest ethnic group in Kazakhstan.

    Malik Floberovich MUKANOV, Baurzhan Nurbekuly BAYDILDA, Raushan Erkenovna BAZARBAEVA Monumentality and Symbolism in Bauyrzhan Doszhanov’s Tapestry Artworks Malik Floberovich MUKANOV, Baurzhan Nurbekuly BAYDILDA, Raushan Erkenovna BAZARBAEVA T.K. Zhurgenov Kazakh National Academy of Arts, Almaty, Kazakhstan; Abstract. This article examines the creative method of the young Kazakh tapestry artist Bauyrzhan Doszhanov. In mythological plots, religious motives, symbolic images, he reveals a rich ethnographic heritage of Turkic peoples, the ancient nomadic civilization of Eurasian steppes. The artist’s credo rests on two aesthetic-visual principles of monumentality and symbolism. Aesthetics of minimalism shapes the composition of tapestries, while monumentality scales the imagery andg raphics of artworks. Keywords: Kazakh contemporary art, modern Kazakh tapestry, nomadic Turkic mythology, traditional nomadic archetypes, monumentality of imagery, Bauyrzhan Doszhanov After attending the Second Russian Triennale of Modern Tapestry in the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve in Moscow in autumn of 2014, the famous art critic Irina Dvorkina wrote: "The exhibition is vibrant, but I want to describe the most impressive one by Kazakh artists. Décor and laconic imagery offer an ideal solution for modern tapestry. Once again the artists prove that the serious content does not depend on size."1She admired Bauyrzhan Doszhanov’s tapestry “Keeper of the hearth” (2011, size 130 x 210 cm) that won a special jury triennial prize. Bauyrzhan Doszhanov is one of the most outstanding young Kazakh tapestry artists. He graduated from T. Zhurgenov Kazakh National Academy of Arts with Master’s degree in "Textile Art" and worked as an instructor at the Department of Decorative and Applied Art. In his artworks, Doszhanov “estranges” ordinary and familiar aspects of everyday life, creates intrigue and suspense in mythological themes, and disrupts the traditional proportions of the part and the whole.
