A’zamjonov Akhadjon A’zamjonovich — 2025-04-10

Culture combines with collective identity through theater which integrates literature together with music visual arts and performance as a mixed artistic medium. New Uzbekistan places theater development at the center of an enlightened society-building effort because it uses performance to spread moral and intellectual together with aesthetic values. Research on the changing theoretical bases of theater especially regarding the development of playmaking and interactive audiences fails to receive proper scholarly examination despite its historical and artistic value to modern society. This article evaluates theater's intellectual development as a distinctive performing art through a social context by demonstrating its capacity to mold societal beliefs and ethical values and community-wide memorabilia. The research investigation identifies theater's ancient beginning through ritualistic performances with masks as well as Dionysian ritual and demonstrates their link to contemporary dramaturgy by showing play remains as theater's fundamental expression. Entertainment’s central theatrical element emerges from the actor who produces unique artistic creations by properly handling time and space together with character understanding. The article introduces original ideas about the interrelated theatrical development across Eastern and Western cultural realms with insights into common historical patterns and cultural exchanges. Studies show that enhancing theatrical education together with merging traditional performance methods with contemporary developments will create a spiritually developed culture in Uzbekistan.

Ra’no Yoldoshevna Xasanova — 2025-04-11

Throughout her academic and artistic career Annemarie Schimmel conducted research on Eastern spirituality with a focus on Sufism along with Islamic cultural representation in worldwide society. In her literary production consisting of translations and biographies along with commentaries she studies Islamic traditions starting with their spiritual elements and cultural characteristics and how Sufi women fit into this together with Central Asian heritage. The academic world appreciates Schimmel's scholarly achievements yet fails to explore correctly her artistic and journalistic approaches to humanize Islamic traditions by creating understanding bridges between cultures through poetic symbolism as well as female spiritual insights. Researchers study Eastern cultural elements in Schimmel's writings through an assessment of how she depicts Islamic mysticism along with Sufi women and Central Asian literary history by particular consideration of her research about Babur and Rabia al-Adawiyya and other relevant subjects. The study shows how Schimmel uses a combination of historical facts and literary artistry to create a respectful picture of the Islamic world in her writings. Through her literature she brings together the elements of Persian and Arabic and Turkic language to portray the lost voices of Sufi women in Sufism. Through her research on Islamic scholarly women Schimmel presents an exceptional feminist spiritual interpretation of Islamic history that combines rigorous research methods with elegant literary expression. The research displays that multilingual literary exchanges change Western views about Islam and stimulates expert analysis of spiritual stories led by women in Islamic history.
