@article{2017,title={RUSSIAN VILLAGERS’ PAST-PRESENT CONFLICT IN TERMS OF SOCIAL CHANGE IN THE NARRATIVES OF VILLAGE PROSE WRITERS},abstractNode={The terms village and villager have always had an important place in the Russian social society. This interest showed a great increase especially during the period after World War 2. The reason for this is the need to reconstruct and strengthen after the war and to attempt to re-strengthen the understanding of the concepts of village and villager. The tendency to support this belief in all areas of literature and art attracts attention. Village Prose, which strengthened with these beliefs, is one of the most important literary periods in Soviet Russian literature. This literary period makes others well aware of its presence in literature between the years 1950-1980-(90). Topics such as the village being the source of life and culture, hardworking villagers, the purity of villagers and their unity took place in the first periods of village prose (1970-1990). However, in the second period (1970-1990), topics such as urbanization and nostalgic matters, past-present conflicts, and the differences in understandings between the young and older generations became more dominant. This paper will assess the past-present conflict that arose in the Russian society along with urbanization through villagers by giving examples from the short and long narratives of the most important representatives of village prose. V. Astafyev’s “Lyudochka”, V. Rasputin's “Farewell to Matyora”, S. P. Zaligin “Anya 100 Years Old Grandma” stories will be discussed. Our goal is to reveal the common perspective of the village prose of the writers on this subject. Sociological method this study will be made.},author={Reyhan ÇELİK},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
