THEORETICAL VIEWS OF THE CRITIC ALI NAZIM ON LITERARY PROCESS OF THE 1920- 1930S IN AZERBAIJAN

Summary/Abstract: In the 1920s - 30s, the literary process in Azerbaijan went through a peculiar way of development; the contradictions and complexity of political processes and the anti-humanist nature of political administration have determined the development of literary studies in this direction. As ideological approaches and class relations spread to literature, these conditions became more and more clearly manifested in its evaluation. This process existed weakly or strongly not only in those years, but also in the following decades. All this shows that the contradictions of social life and the literary process have been overcome by literary studies in one way or another. As a result of this, vulgar sociological tendencies appeared in literary criticism and literary studies, and classism was applied in the evaluation of literature. In this regard, the articles and investigations of Bekir Chobanzade, Mehdi Huseyn, Ali Nazim, Amin Abid, Hanafi Zeynalli, Mustafa Guliyev, Mirza Kazim Alakbarli, Mikayil Rafili and others could not escape from classism and ideological approaches. Only after the 1960s, as a result of the weakening of administrative criteria in literary evaluation, literary studies was able to escape serious distortions. The presented article examines the ideological approaches of the critic Ali Nazim (1906-1941) in his theoretical views on the literary process of the 1920s-30s.
