Genealogies of Memory and Inherited Dislocation in Nazar Eshonqul’s Maymun Yetaklagan Odam
Scholarship on Nazar Eshonqul has primarily interpreted his fiction through the frameworks of absurdism, symbolism, and postmodern alienation. In this article, I make a different claim: that his title story, Maymun Yetaklagan Odam (“The Man Led by a Monkey”), and the stories that cluster around it in the 2008 collection can best be read as a sustained meditation on genealogical rupture: what happens to a family and a community when the lines alon…
Genealogies of Fear and Magic: Inheritance, Lineage and the Transmission of Terror in Stephen King’s Fiction
Genealogy is about the things that are transmitted from one generation to the next: blood, name, property but also grief, guilt, belief and dread. A genealogical reading of Stephen King’s fiction suggests that this is the last category of inheritance that preoccupies the writer’s imagination and that the entire oeuvre is more concerned with the transmission of fear and supernatural power through kinship, community and place than with the terror o…
Motherhood as Cultural Institution: Female Education, Gender Socialization and the Intergenerational Transmission of Values in Abdulla Qodiriy’s Mehrobdan Chayon
The novel Mehrobdan Chayon by Abdulla Qodiriy has been studied mostly as a historical, social and literary text, and its representation of motherhood and women as agents of cultural transmission has received little scholarly attention. This article suggests that Qodiriy presents motherhood not primarily as a biological relationship but as a cultural institution, in which Uzbek society is reproduced across generations in terms of literacy, religio…
Moral ambiguity and the collapse of ethical certainty in nazar eshonqul’s maymun yetaklagan odam and other stories
This article examines the theme of moral ambivalence and the collapse of ethical certainty in the short stories of a modern Uzbek writer, Nazar Eshonqul, in particular the story Maymun yetaklagan odam (The Man Led by a Monkey). Drawing on the ideas of existentialist philosophy (Camus, Sartre), post-Soviet morality (Bauman) and postmodern literature (Booth, Hutcheon), this article investigates moral cognition in crisis, which is characteristic of …
Transcultural magical realism: A comparative analysis of Stephen King’s American supernatural fiction and Nazar Eshonqul’s Central Asian narratives
This article is the first systematic comparative study of American writer Stephen King and Central Asian writer Nazar Eshonqul in the theoretical context of magical realism. It stretches the traditional limits of genre and the Western-centric approach to comparative literature that has long characterized it. This study examines the expression of magical realism in American and Central Asian cultures in a comparative manner by comparing King’s nov…
Society Creates the Monster: Institutional Violence and the Social Production of Deviance in Stephen King’s Carrie
Horror fiction often reflects social fears and hidden problems in society. This article presents a sociocultural reading of Stephen King’s Carrie (1974). It argues that the novel should not be viewed as a supernatural horror story but also as a cultural text about institutional harm. The study uses several theoretical ideas, including cultural violence theory, moral panic theory, Foucauldian disciplinary power, institutional betrayal theory and t…
Between Flesh and Miracle: Phenomenological Dimensions of Pain and Healing in The Green Mile
This article examines the interaction between phenomenological illness theory and magical realism in Stephen King’s The Green Mile. It uses ideas from phenomenological psychopathology and illness narrative theory to explain how King presents supernatural events through a restrained and matter-of-fact narrative register. Instead of considering magical realism as a genre or a mere literary device, the article views magical realism as a stylistic mo…
Race, Disability and Abolition in Stephen King’s The Green Mile
This study focuses on how various audiences interpret The Green Mile, Stephen King’s narrative that deals with race, disability and the prison system. Using a mixed-methods design, we used interviews, social media posts, translated editions and sound patterns. What has emerged from the results contains clear generational differences, with older audiences frequently perceiving the tale as an emotional story of kindness and sacrifice where younger …
Magic at the Crossroads: Moral Dissonance and Repair in the Wizarding World
The Harry Potter fandom community around the world prefers a universe of wizards and witches that includes all people, but also has concerns about the author’s perspective regarding gender identity. This disjunction paralyzes the cultural reader with moral confusion, which is a danger to their emotional investment in the text. Although scholars have analyzed this phenomenon using fragmented prisms, such as social media activism, cognitive engagem…
Even the Weakest Can Change the World: Black Girlhood, Resilience and Systemic Evil in Stephen King's Doctor Sleep and Contemporary Society
Stephen King's Doctor Sleep (2013) and the 2019 movie depict a battle against unfair systems through Abra Stone, a young Black girl with special powers. Her psychic gift, the ability to shine, is both a weakness and a strength. This paper examines how King's horror story can be interpreted as a metaphor for racial injustice, family trauma and abuse of power. Using ideas from Black feminist thought and trauma studies, it demonstrates that Abra's g…
Ritual, Memory and Identity: Postcolonial Readings of Bukhara and Khorezm's Cultural Continuity
This paper looks at the relationship between ritual, memory and identity in the postcolonial geography of Bukhara and Khorezm, two historically important regions of Central Asia. Drawing on theoretical concepts from cultural memory studies, postcolonial theory and semiotics, this research pursues an understanding of how the commemorative and ritual practices function as mechanisms of cultural continuity in the face of colonial and Soviet transfor…
From Sacred City to Managed Heritage: Cultural Continuity and Social Transformation in Bukhara, Uzbekistan
This paper explores whether Bukhara has been able to strike a balance between cultural continuity and social change in the transition that the city has made from being a sacred Islamic outpost to a moderated heritage site. Giving material to study from both scholarly literature and the application of the interdisciplinary approach, the analysis shows how Bukhara's transformation is one of resilience and vulnerability. The city preserves its cultu…
