Résumé

L'étude visait à identifier les particularités des personnages féminins dans l'œuvre d'Aïtmatov et à révéler leur signification artistique et philosophique dans le contexte du symbolisme, des rôles sociaux et des aspects culturels. Le cadre méthodologique intégrait des méthodes typologiques, herméneutiques, historico-littéraires et structuralo-sémiotiques, garantissant une analyse complète de l'évolution et du sens des images féminines. Les résultats ont démontré que les personnages féminins de l'œuvre d'Aïtmatov se caractérisaient par leur polyvalence, leur profondeur psychologique et leur riche résonance symbolique. Une typologie a été établie, incluant les gardiennes du foyer, les rebelles, les victimes, les vieilles femmes sages, les mères et les femmes de la nature – chacune exerçant des fonctions artistiques et idéologiques distinctes. Ces images reflétaient à la fois les rôles traditionnels de genre et l'aspiration croissante à la liberté, à l'individualité et à l'égalité. L'étude a révélé que les héroïnes d'Aïtmatov structurent non seulement l'univers artistique de sa prose, mais incarnent également la dimension culturelle et philosophique de sa pensée, exprimant des valeurs universelles de maternité, d'amour, de résilience morale et de quête éternelle de justice.
