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.</p> A’zamjonov Akhadjon A’zamjonovich Copyright (c) 2025 Central Asian Journal of Literature, Philosophy and Culture https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1238 Thu, 10 Apr 2025 14:21:40 +0000 Eastern Theme in Annemarie Schimmel's Art Journalistic Work https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1239 <p>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.</p> Ra’no Yoldoshevna Xasanova Copyright (c) https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1239 Fri, 11 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Issues of Transforming Enlightenment Into a High Moral Value in Society https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1240 <p>Several scholars today accept a strong connection between education and national progress. Under New Uzbekistan’s reform agenda the government is focused on building an enlightened society because education serves as both a social service and a transformative instrument for advancing intellectual and moral development. Research on education in development normally exists yet focuses primarily on separate approaches instead of exploring synergistic methods to boost enlightenment as a top moral priority in post-Soviet transformation settings. This article examines theoretical and methodological frameworks to develop an enlightened society of Uzbekistan while studying the social-philosophical pathways that guide enlightenment as a moral value in policy creation and social reforms. The study reveals education acts as a key factor to decrease social disparities while strengthening public health care systems and improving democratic systems. The research examination deplores international education standards for their inability to meet local developmental requirements. The research combines social and philosophical methods to explain enlightenment as a moral concept which connects education to economic results and social achievements while safeguarding cultural integrity in modern globalization. These findings carry important implications for educational policies because enlightenment education works as a sustainable method to fight social inequality while solving unemployment and civic disengagement problems as it prepares a society that is intellectually strong and morally grounded.</p> Oxunova Shaxnoza Qodirovna Copyright (c) 2025 Central Asian Journal of Literature, Philosophy and Culture https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1240 Tue, 15 Apr 2025 11:12:44 +0000 The Impact of an Innovative Economic Competition Environment on Youth Economic Activity https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1241 <p>The world has experienced both increased market reform intensity and advanced technologies which have substantially influenced young people's economic initiatives. The ongoing economic revolution in New Uzbekistan has driven youth to display new patterns of conduct that focuses on entrepreneurship alongside innovative tendencies and social involvement and flexible approaches. Current research minimizes the study of combined economic culture and ethical conduct alongside innovative processes that determine youth economic work patterns in transforming societies. The study investigates how an innovative competitive economic environment shapes youth economic development in Uzbekistan by examining ethical standards alongside social economic awareness and modern integration of national heritage. Research outcomes show youth business activities to combine technological advancements with traditional aspects including craftsmanship as well as applied arts practices. Ethical decision-making together with autonomous moral choices drive the development of economic behavior. The research suggests a modern interpretation of youth economic activity which goes beyond market reactions by combining it with moral values through economic awareness and aesthetic understanding. These findings indicate that political and academic institutions must integrate ethical-economic together with eco-aesthetic values into their youth entrepreneurship policy to develop socially responsible and culturally diverse young entrepreneurs.</p> Bakhtiyor Khamitovich Talipov Copyright (c) 2025 Central Asian Journal of Literature, Philosophy and Culture https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1241 Fri, 18 Apr 2025 06:08:06 +0000 Exploring The Magical Elements in “Doctor Sleep” and “The Shining” by Stephen King https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1242 <p>This study explores the presence and significance of magical elements within Stephen King's novels, "The Shining" and "Doctor Sleep." Although King is predominantly recognized for his contributions to horror and supernatural fiction, a notable knowledge gap exists concerning the use of magical realism in his narratives. Employing qualitative literary analysis, this research examines how King integrates supernatural occurrences within realistic settings to blur boundaries between reality and imagination. Findings reveal that King utilizes magical realism primarily through psychic abilities and supernatural entities, effectively deepening the psychological intensity and thematic complexity of his works. In "The Shining," magical realism manifests through Danny Torrance’s psychic gift and the haunted Overlook Hotel, merging supernatural horror with the exploration of internal human struggles. Similarly, "Doctor Sleep" expands upon these elements, delving into the origins of psychic powers and their implications for personal redemption and interpersonal connections. The results underscore King's adeptness at creating immersive narratives where magical elements intensify psychological realism. Consequently, the implications of this study highlight magical realism as a potent literary device that allows King to explore profound human experiences and ethical dilemmas, suggesting that his work should be reconsidered within a broader literary context beyond traditional genre classifications.</p> Ulugbek Ochilov Copyright (c) 2025 Central Asian Journal of Literature, Philosophy and Culture https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1242 Sun, 20 Apr 2025 17:01:24 +0000 Chronotopes in Different Literature Genres https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1243 <p>The study aims to demonstrate how the urban chronotope in dystopian literature serves as a mechanism for expressing exaggerated ideas about the existential and epistemological aspects of modern socio-political structures, utilizing interdisciplinary approaches that connect dystopia with sociology and artistic concepts regarding the future of societal development. The research highlights the significance of entropy as a central metaphor in dystopian narratives, illustrating the tension between intellectual stagnation and the renewal of thought, while analyzing the subjective experiences of time within urban settings in the works of notable authors, and exploring the implications of dystopian themes on societal control and individual potential. The article explores the concept of the literary chronotope, focusing on its poetic features as they manifest in modern novels, and addresses contemporary issues in literary criticism related to this phenomenon. It examines the theoretical foundations of chronotope forms, their impact on genre evolution, storyline development, artistic architecture, plot creation, composition based on the author's intent, and the ideological content of literary works, as well as how reality is perceived within the literary process.</p> Karimova Nigora Maratovna Copyright (c) 2025 Central Asian Journal of Literature, Philosophy and Culture https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1243 Wed, 23 Apr 2025 15:27:28 +0000 The Influence of Folk Oral Creation on The Poetry of Matnazar Abdulhakim https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1244 <p>Oral creativity is a crucial element in the cultural heritage of every nation, serving as a source of national memory and expression. Uzbek folklore, rich with proverbs, legends, and mythological imagery, has significantly influenced written literature, especially poetry. However, the direct and creative influence of folk oral creation on the poetry of modern Uzbek poets like Matnazar Abdulhakim remains underexplored. This article aims to investigate how folklore motifs and traditional images such as the yalmog‘iz (witch) and ajdaho (dragon) have been assimilated and transformed in Abdulhakim’s poetry. Through detailed analysis, the study reveals that Abdulhakim skillfully integrates folklore elements, adapting mythological characters and symbolism such as dragons and gluttons to depict abstract emotions like love, jealousy, and separation, thereby enriching the poetic narrative with deeper cultural resonance. Unlike traditional folklore usage, Abdulhakim innovatively separates and personalizes these mythological images, moving beyond conventional boundaries to create original lyrical expressions. The findings highlight the dynamic relationship between folklore and modern Uzbek literature, offering insights into how contemporary poets can preserve cultural identity while introducing creative originality into their works.</p> Kumush Abdusalomova Copyright (c) 2025 Central Asian Journal of Literature, Philosophy and Culture https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1244 Mon, 28 Apr 2025 16:55:25 +0000 Formation of Phraseological Homonymy and its Modeling in The Corpus System https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1245 <p>This article investigates the phenomenon of phraseological homonymy, analyzing its formation mechanisms and integration into corpus systems. It examines the levels of phraseology where homonymy occurs, explores methods for identifying and modeling homonymous expressions, and proposes strategies to resolve semantic ambiguities within corpus databases. Experimental modeling was conducted to detect phraseological homonyms automatically in texts and to select their context-appropriate meanings. The results demonstrate that constructing morpho-semantic collocations and linguistic models for phraseological units enhances the corpus system’s ability to comprehend and process complex idiomatic structures more effectively. This research contributes to the advancement of automatic language processing technologies by addressing challenges associated with phraseological ambiguity.</p> Nurboyeva Maftuna Vahobjon qizi Copyright (c) 2025 Central Asian Journal of Literature, Philosophy and Culture https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1245 Mon, 28 Apr 2025 17:12:47 +0000 Social Philosophical Factors of Working With Young Professionals https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1248 <p>In the context of global transformations and national development strategies, the effective integration of young professionals into the workforce has become a priority for Uzbekistan. Although significant experience has been accumulated in youth engagement, the current system of working with young specialists remains fragmented and lacks methodological cohesion. Existing studies often focus on isolated elements such as training or mobility, without addressing the systemic structure necessary for long-term development and retention. This study aims to conceptualize a holistic, multifunctional system for engaging young professionals by analyzing its organizational, ideological, and economic foundations. The research identifies core system components, including planning, recruitment, evaluation, development, and motivation of young specialists. It reveals that most organizations lack articulated strategies despite expressing interest in innovation and high qualifications from this cohort. The study also outlines common strengths and weaknesses of young specialists, contributing to a more nuanced understanding of their integration into professional environments. The article proposes a unified methodological platform and positions the youth integration system within broader socio-economic and organizational frameworks. The findings underscore the need for a coherent human resource strategy that aligns the goals of young professionals with institutional objectives. This integrated approach promises to enhance not only individual career trajectories but also national innovation capacity and labor market efficiency.</p> Kholmirzaeva Jumagul Khamdamovna Copyright (c) 2025 Central Asian Journal of Literature, Philosophy and Culture https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1248 Wed, 07 May 2025 23:24:59 +0000 Marxist Social Realism in Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts: A Critical Exploration https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1249 <p>This study explores Marxist social realism and its application to Henrik Ibsen’s <em>Ghosts </em>(1881), highlighting how the play criticizes the bourgeois oppressive ideologies, class struggle, and social mobility illusion. Through the Marxist perspective, the play shows the corruption and hypocrisy of the capital system and the manipulation of moral and religious institutions to achieve personal corrupt goals. The study examines how the main characters, like Mrs. Alving, Oswald, Engstrand, Regina, and Pastor Manders, represent the ideological conflicts in a society based on class hierarchy. Relying on the theories of Karl Marx, Louis Althusser, and Antonio Gramsci, the current study shows how Ibsen criticizes the bourgeois system and its manipulating moralities and the oppression of the working class through tools like economic determination. The play's tragic end demonstrates the limitations of people’s actions under the ideologically repressive system, aligned with the Marxist argument that individual revolt is insufficient for total social reform. Finally, the study demonstrates how the play is a pivotal criticism of capitalist ideology and its impact on human existence by examining Ibsen’s play within the Marxist social realism approach.</p> Mohammed Hussein Abbas, Muntadher Aqeel Abdulhamza, Salam Hamzh Kadhum Copyright (c) 2025 Central Asian Journal of Literature, Philosophy and Culture https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1249 Thu, 08 May 2025 09:43:20 +0000 Vietnam's Cultural Identity in Perspective of Individual Consciousness in The New Poetry Movement (1932 - 1945) https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1246 <p><em>The New Poetry Movement in Vietnam (1932-1945) is considered a revolution in poetry, marking an innovation in poetics and ideological content in poetic works. In this movement, individual consciousness is considered a core element, associated with innovation that appeared only in 1932 - 1945 and have a strong influence on later writing tendencies. Based on individual consciousness theory, cultural materialism, cultural exposure and acculturation combined with analysis of Vietnam's historical and social context in the period 1932 - 1945, the article clarifies individual consciousness in the works of the New Poetry movement as a consequence of exposure to Western culture, contributing to clarifying Vietnamese cultural identity in the first half of the twentieth century. In addition, based on historical literature research materials and methodology, and on historical research materials, literary criticism combined with analytical and comparative methods as well, the author explains the advent of individual consciousness in Vietnam poetry in the period 1932 - 1945 as the premise of the modern Vietnamese poetry freedom movement.&nbsp; </em></p> Vu Bao Khuyen Bui Copyright (c) 2025 Central Asian Journal of Literature, Philosophy and Culture https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1246 Sat, 10 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 An analysis of literary content in the English course book for Iraq's sixth preparatory level, evaluated through the perspectives of Teachers https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1251 <p>This study explores the perceptions of Iraqi EFL preparatory school teachers regarding the integration of literature in English textbooks. The research aims to understand how teachers perceive the role of literature in enhancing students' language proficiency, cultural awareness, and personal growth. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a questionnaire to collect data from 58 Iraqi EFL teachers in Najaf City. The findings reveal that teachers generally hold positive perceptions of literature, believing it enhances students' linguistic skills, cultural understanding, and personal development. However, concerns were raised about the quality and relevance of literary texts in the textbooks, as well as challenges in teaching literature due to limited time and resources. The study concludes with recommendations for improving the integration of literature in Iraqi EFL textbooks to better meet the needs of both teachers and students.</p> Ali AL-Zurfi , Alaa Ali Hussein, Aya Wassim Jassim Copyright (c) 2025 Central Asian Journal of Literature, Philosophy and Culture https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1251 Thu, 15 May 2025 08:41:30 +0000 The Extent to Which English Language Teachers in Saudi Arabia Adopt the Blended Learning Approach https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1252 <p>This study aimed to explore the extent to which English language teachers in Saudi Arabia utilize blended learning. To achieve this, the descriptive-analytical approach was adopted, and a questionnaire consisting of (20) items was developed. After verifying its validity and reliability, it was distributed to a sample of (50) teachers from various schools. The data were statistically analyzed using the (SPSS) program, revealing no statistically significant differences at the (0.05) significance level in the participants' responses regarding the adoption of blended learning based on gender. However, significant differences were found at the same level concerning academic qualification and specialization. Based on these findings, the researcher recommended training teachers on implementing blended learning strategies in instruction, as it plays a crucial role in enhancing English language teaching methods. Additionally, the recommendations emphasized the importance of organizing training courses for teachers and educational supervisors to raise awareness of blended learning concepts, strategies, and implementation mechanisms, as well as developing curricula that consider students' individual differences.</p> Thuraya bint Abdullah Hussein Al-Jar Copyright (c) 2025 Central Asian Journal of Literature, Philosophy and Culture https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1252 Sun, 18 May 2025 17:29:36 +0000 Lebanese Migration to the Americas: Causes and Socioeconomic Impacts (1890–1930) https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1253 <p>The late 19th and early 20th centuries marked a significant wave of migration from Lebanon to the Americas, a movement that profoundly shaped the socioeconomic trajectories of both the homeland and the host countries. migration coincided with repressive Ottoman rule, economic crises, the Great Famine, and compulsory military conscription conditions that worsened under the French Mandate. Despite promises of reform, post-war policies continued to stimulate outward migration. While numerous accounts describe the diaspora’s success abroad, limited academic focus has been placed on the integrated causes, migration routes, and long-term impacts on both Lebanon and the Americas during 1890–1930. This study aims to explore the drivers, patterns, and socioeconomic consequences of Lebanese migration, examining how geopolitical, economic, and social factors intersected to produce mass displacement. The findings show that Lebanese migrants, though fleeing hardship, became economically active in trade and small industries, particularly in Brazil, Argentina, the United States, and Mexico. Remittances uplifted the Lebanese economy, yet mass emigration also caused labor shortages and social restructuring. In host societies, Lebanese communities established cultural institutions that preserved their identity while facilitating integration. By integrating historical, economic, and cultural analysis, the research uncovers the dual impact of migration as a source of resilience and transformation for Lebanon and its diaspora. Understanding this migration offers insights into current diasporic dynamics, highlighting the importance of migration networks, remittances, and cultural continuity in shaping transnational societies.</p> Alaa Khudhair Obaid Copyright (c) 2025 Central Asian Journal of Literature, Philosophy and Culture https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1253 Mon, 26 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Poetry in the Journal “Maorif va o‘qitg‘uvchi” https://cajlpc.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJLPC/article/view/1254 <p>This article presents statistical data and an annotated bibliography of poems published in the journal “<em>Maorif va o‘qitg‘uvchi”. </em>The poems are classified by thematic categories.
