"ANALYSIS OF LITERARY TEXTS BASED ON IMAGOLOGICAL APPROACH"

This study explores the application of the imagological approach in the analysis of literary texts, focusing on the representation of national and cultural images within fiction. Imagology, as a branch of comparative literature, examines how the “Other” is portrayed and how national stereotypes and cultural identities are constructed and interpreted in literary discourse. By analyzing selected works, this paper reveals how literary characters and settings reflect ideological, historical, and intercultural dynamics. The research highlights the importance of imagological analysis in understanding cross-cultural perceptions and the formation of hybrid identities in world literature.
