Abstract

National folklore, symbolic and mythological paradigms are reflected more unconsciously in the consciousness and literary works by writers living abroad (unlike the 20th century emigration, in which mythology identity is purposeful). The mythopoetic image creation process develops in modern intercultural and migration, diverse and hybrid texts (actualization of mythologems, deconstruction/reinterpretation of mythological plots, modeling of fiction time and space by allocating them in non-traditional context, construction of mythological fiction images or even transformation of myths, their modernizing, parody and creation of anti-myth), which, eventually forms as the most important code of cultural memory. The given coding system is revealed in modern literary texts created abroad by different types of models (thinking, behavioral, linguistic).
