  • The Tale of Khodzha Nasreddin”
    European Journal of Research and Reflection in Educational Sciences Vol. 8 No. 6, 2020 ISSN 2056-5852 ARTISTIC IDENTITY OF L. SOLOVYOV’S NOVEL “THE TALE OF KHODZHA NASREDDIN” Elyanora Sergeyeva Chirchik State Pedagogical Institute of Tashkent Region UZBEKISTAN E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In this article is considered the structure of the artistic space in modern literature and also take an important place such notion, as “urban text”, which have its own history of origin and development. Keywords: The artistic space, topos, locus, local text, city text, the St. Petersburg text, the Tashkent text, hypertext, chronotope. INTRODUCTION The literary work of Uzbekistan has always relied in its development on the best classical examples in world literature. The creation of the image of the city with its long history, cultural tradition, specific literary roots is interesting from the point of view of visual possibilities in the embodiment of urban themes in general. For the humanities of modern Uzbekistan, the formulation of this problem is a classic example of the close interweaving of the city’s image with the general cultural traditions of the time, which are reflected in the life of an ordinary person. This is confirmed by the fact that recently, in literary criticism and cultural studies, the issue related to the Tashkent Text has begun to be discussed. In the general cultural and temporal aspect, the generally accepted “St. Petersburg” and the discussed “Tashkent” text are different problems, but the general principle of the approach to the embodiment of the image of the city can reveal common ground.

  • Nasreddin Hodja's Foolish Wisdom
    World Literature Studies 4 . vol. 8 . 2016 (35 – 46) ŠTÚDIE / ARTICLES Nasreddin Hodja’s foolish wisdom: Slavic literary adaptations of a Turkish folk hero CHARLES SABATOS Cultural icons, whether historical, metaphorical, or fictional, form an essential part of modern national identity. One common feature of such figures is that they blur the distinction not only between “high” and “low” culture but between real and imagi- nary (even historical personalities take on fictionalized elements, such as the popular American legend of George Washington cutting down a cherry tree and refusing to lie about it). In Central and Eastern Europe, where relatively recent political borders cut through shared traditions, icons cross cultural boundaries as well. For example, Prague is often symbolized by two figures, one German and one Czech: the writer Franz Kafka (whose modernist alienation has made him an almost mythical figure) and the “good soldier Švejk” (whose fictional adventures in Jaroslav Hašek’s novel are so well known that they have taken on a life of their own). In other cases, the same person or character is claimed by more than one cultural tradition, as in the case of the real-life but heavily mythologized bandit Juraj Janošík, who is claimed by both Slovakia and Poland. However, a uniquely transcultural role is played by the Turkish folk hero Nasreddin Hodja, a supposedly historical character who is the subject of countless comic anecdotes. While his “foolish wisdom” has become a traditional part of many societies across the Muslim and former Ottoman world, he has been a dapted as a character in full-length works of fiction and drama not only in South Slavic cul- tures like Bosnian and Bulgarian, which were under direct Turkish influence, but also in East Slavic (Russian) and West Slavic (Czech) literatures.
