The Category of Literary and Aesthetic Ideal in Poetry (Through the Example of Hamid Olimjon’s Creative Work)

Аннотация

This article is dedicated to the study of the transformation process of the literary-aesthetic ideal category in Uzbek literature, based on the works of Hamid Olimjon. The analysis reveals that Hamid Olimjon drew inspiration from Uzbek folk oral tradition, classical literature, the literature of fraternal peoples, as well as modern Eastern and Western poetry. As a result, it is identified that a number of the poet’s articles promoting the ideals of the Soviet regime emerged in response to the political demands of the time, and that such politically influenced elements also appear in his poetry. Furthermore, although the poet criticized the traditions of classical literature and writers who focused on historical themes in several articles, it is demonstrated that he acknowledged the organic unity of his own literary-aesthetic ideals with the works of Navoi and the epics Alpomish and Gorogly, based on their analysis.
