Sociocultural Paradigms of Post-Soviet Georgia in Modern Fiction Texts

Research of cultural concepts of traumatic memory is becoming more and more relevant in the scientific discourse. In-depth studying of the aforementioned issue has to be done by considering the historic memory, which creates basis for different researches in the direction of humanitarian sciences. Researchers agree that the wars of the 20th century, psychological pressure and historic memory have made the world to face new challenges, which, naturally, was also reflected in the theoretical discourse.
Collapse of the Soviet Union and developments in Georgia since the last decade of the 20th century created fruitful grounds for the formation of completely new literature by genre on the one hand and on the other hand for the understanding of the cultural trauma, as of a social-cultural phenomenon.
Conflicts in Abkhazia and Tskhinvali, August 2008 war were reflected in Georgian literature differently. Psychological-emotional background can be identified as the main market of literary texts from the given period, which is represented in the interpretations characterizing the national identity, as far as the tragedies taken place in the homeland allow understanding of historic memory on the one hand and correct perception of moral values n the other hand.
For representing the research topic, we will study Naira Gelashvili’s, Shota Iatashvili’s, Irina Bakradze’s, Giorgi Sosiashvili’s fiction texts, which clearly show the characteristics of cultural trauma, as of an epochal category and moral values expressing the national identity.
