Abstract

This article examines the application of synergetics, hermeneutics, and other contemporary theoretical approaches in the study of Uzbek literature. In recent decades, literary studies worldwide have undergone a methodological transformation characterized by the integration of interdisciplinary and post-classical paradigms. Traditional analytical models, which often focused on linear structure, historical determinism, or ideological interpretation, have proven insufficient for capturing the complex semantic, philosophical, and cultural dimensions of literary texts. In this context, the present study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of modern theoretical methods in revealing the multidimensional nature of Uzbek literary works.

The article explores synergetics as a framework for understanding literary texts as open, self-organizing systems in which meaning emerges through instability, bifurcation, and internal interaction. Hermeneutic theory, particularly the ideas of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur, is employed to analyze the dialogic relationship between text, historical context, and reader interpretation. The study also considers the relevance of poststructuralist, discourse-based, and cognitive approaches in contemporary Uzbek literary criticism.

The theoretical discussion is supported by analytical examples drawn from classical and modern Uzbek authors, including Alisher Navoi, Zahiriddin Muhammad Bobur, Abdulla Qodiriy, Omon Muxtor, and Nazar Eshonqul. Through these examples, the article demonstrates how modern methodologies enable deeper engagement with symbolic meaning, narrative complexity, and cultural memory. The findings suggest that the integration of new theoretical approaches significantly enriches Uzbek literary studies and contributes to their alignment with global scholarly discourse.
