Nakie Isanbet on Chichan art

Abstract
The article systematizes the contribution of Nakie Isanbet, an encyclopaedist, folklorist, and classic author of Tatar literature, to the study of chichan (bardic) traditions in Turkic culture. The material for this research is based on the scholar’s theoretical works devoted to the study of the Turkic peoples’ folklore, his studies of oral folk art systematized in the collections of folklore expeditions, his works that include the image of chichans (bards). The method of study in our article is determined by the features of the analyzed text (cultural and historical, semiotic and cultural, comparative, etc.). N. Isanbet’s theoretical works on folklore prove that he attempted to form a complete understanding of chichan (bardic) poetry and to perpetuate their images in his literary work. In the 1920s, the experiments of the scientist in collaboration with F. Davletshin resulted in compiling a collection of his works. The analysis of modern works on the study of Bardic (chichan or sasan) phenomenon in the Turkic environment shows the following: there is certain scepticism among modern researchers towards Nakie Isanbet’s contribution to the study of this topic.
