Abstract. The article examines the trends and prospects of development in Ossetian literary studies of the first decades of the 21st century in interrelation with the dynamics of humanitarian science in the North Caucasus region. The work is based on the research data of SOIGSI literary scholars within the framework of the project History of Ossetian literature in the light of the formation, development and interaction of aesthetic systems; utilized theoretical-philosophical and historical-literary types of scientific research. The theoretical direction is relevant to the tasks of studying the genetic origins of realism, its historical typology, the unity of tradition and innovation. The field of the second vector includes the analysis and interpretation of specific works, their poetics and semantics, complex internal structure, – but also with access to theoretical generalizations, allowing to characterize the connections and regularities in the creative activity of individual masters of the word and the historical and literary process as a whole. The relevance of the topic is dictated by the need to comprehend and systematize the accumulated literary experience and to develop a joint paradigm of research on the history of national literatures. The results of scientific research in four substantive directions in the sphere of modern Ossetian studies thought are presented: 1) socialist realism as a worldview and as an artistic method in its evolutionary development; 2) structure of Ossetian narrative, study of literary phenomena in the transitional stages of Ossetian verbal culture; 3) literature addressed to children’s audience: genre and style features, system of images, regulative-educational and other functions); 4) fiction translation as a phenomenon of intercultural communication, theoretical and practical aspects of the translation process: transfer of national color, individual style of an author, realization of the semantic space of the original. Vector analysis of interrelated research strategies in Ossetian literary studies is defined for the first time.
