It is pointed out that China's research on contemporary Georgian literature is relatively lacking, which is in sharp contrast to the growing interest in this field in the international literary community. The importance of Georgian literature in international culture was emphasized, and it was proposed that the history of contemporary Georgian literature should start from the late 1950s. This article will outline the development trajectory of contemporary Georgian literature in chronological order by sorting out representative writers and their creations.
In the late 1950s, the Soviet Union's "thawing" literary trend had a significant impact on Georgian literature, and the strengthening of Western literary trends became a prominent feature of Georgian literature. In the creation of novels, the works of Gulam Lecheurishvili and Elrom Akhfrediani attempt to return Georgian literature to the "common European track". Lecheurishvili's works focus on the worldview of post-war Georgian youth, and his literary heritage has had a profound impact on Georgian literature. Akhfrediani is regarded as a "dissident" and his works have iconic significance in the history of Georgian literature.
In the context of the stagnant period of Soviet society in the 1970s, Georgian literature still exhibited diversity in themes, content, and genres, as well as diverse discourse patterns and artistic techniques, despite facing ideological rigidity. As a representative of "dissident" writers, Ota Chiraze's works exhibit complexity in social and ethical issues, and show a strong interest in philosophical issues such as life, death, chance, and misfortune. Gulam Dochanashvili, known as his "Georgian language wizard," opened up new horizons in literature through language experiments. Writers such as Jamal Carcharze introduced artistic techniques such as magical realism and fantasy imagery into literary creation.
The Georgian literature of the 1980s witnessed the renewal of the playwright community, with Rasha Tabkashvili and Irakli Samsonaze becoming important figures in the theater world. Tabkashvili is famous for his theatrical works "The Road to You" and "Asteroid," while Samsonaze is recognized for his works such as "Carriage on the Road" and "Pillow. Their works explore modern Georgian social issues and do not shy away from sensitive topics.
In depth exploration of the manifestation of modernism in contemporary Georgian literature from the 1990s to the present, particularly through the works of writers such as Aka Molchiraze, showcases the application of postmodern techniques such as simulacra, double encoding, irony, etc. in literary creation. Works such as "A Journey to Karabakh" by Moltke Razer have not only become bestsellers, but also deeply loved by film directors, and his works are compared to those of Russian detective writer Boris Akunin. The chapter also discusses the stylization of modern speech in Georgian society, as well as the use of hidden language and jargon in Georgian modern oral language. In addition, the theme of war occupies an important position in contemporary Georgian literature. Writers who have experienced the pain of war, such as Gulam Ojishalia, as well as young writers such as Tamt Merashvili and Tamal Baltaya, have expressed their reflections and artistic expressions on war through different literary methods.
Summarized the diversity and multiplicity of Georgian literature since the 1950s, as well as its position and influence in world literature. The article points out that contemporary Georgian literature has developed under the influence of Soviet literature, while maintaining the continuity of the national traditional literary spirit, demonstrating a trend towards Soviet and international development. In addition, Georgian literature has achieved significant success in genres such as novels, dramas, and poetry, with several writers nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Georgian literature, as an open cultural structure, has enriched the process of world literature. Writers of different ages and genders have jointly promoted the development of Georgian literature. The author believes that contemporary Georgian literature holds an important position in the development of world literature. This article is an attempt to explore Georgian literature and looks forward to more researchers joining this field.
