DEVELOPMENT OF UZBEK POSTMODERN LITERATURE

Postmodernism, as a literary and cultural movement, has influenced numerous national literatures, including that of Uzbekistan. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Uzbek literature experienced a transformation characterized by aesthetic freedom, formal experimentation, and ideological pluralism (Hutcheon, 1989; Barry, 2017). Postmodern Uzbek writers began to question established narratives, deconstruct historical ideologies, and explore complex subjectivities shaped by modernity, tradition, and globalization (Karimov, 1997; Saidov, 2015).
