POETIC CHANGES IN THE UZBEK NOVEL

Identically with the traditional classical description in the literature of the XXth century, there have been appeared the novels which have been created basing on the cognitive trend of the characters[1]. Their numbers are rising the last years. There started trying to learn such type of artworks according to the trend of thoughts on the base of poetics by J. Joys[2]. As to us there are several bases of these changes:

1. In the Uzbek modern poetry there is a certain impact of European and Russian modernists as F.M. Dostoevsky, E. Hemingway, J.P. Sartor, W. Faulkner, G. Markes, T. Mann, F. Kafka, J. Joys, M. Purist and others.

         2. During the late years the needs of assimilation of the depiction principles of the world literature have been strengthened among the Uzbek novelists. Their talent and literary capacity has been developed. Their skills are increased year by year. Consequently, Uzbek modernization is the result of inner necessity for innovation and rejuvenation of our literature, specific period of development national aesthetic thoughts. So, it is not fair to state occurred poetic innovations only in the scope of the influence of the world modernized literature. As to us, the following factors also have crucial impact for defining this phenomenon:

1. All the time and stages Uzbek literature has been targeted under the certain level of assonant to the folklore motive.

2. Under the philosophic-aesthetic axis of national literature realizing the universe as a moral-ethic and symbolic-abstract is the most important. Another word, in the Uzbek literature description of life phenomena mostly became unique with fine symbolism.  

3. Since very ancient times our national literature is closely connected with music. The concentration to the regularity of main topic (leitmotiv) is very strong. While aiming to wide description of human and society life style, the Uzbek literature doesn’t just present the social-psychological depiction basically. There paid special attention to harmonic unity of particular insignificant secular attempts with generalization and providing the equality between poetic means. Not only the poetics of separate artwork, but individuality of each writer clearly realized as an integrity – systematical bases.

But in the traditional depiction style of the Uzbek literature the style of observing the universe and people by the point of view of the character, and then literary assembling was not considered as a leading poetic measure. Because in the central point of view of our writers the thoughts of character isn’t taken as a main object, but outer acts were taken more common. At the same time of describing physical action of the characters in time and place, their spiritual-psychological thoughts mostly depicted only by writer’s interpretation.  But in the new type of novels it moves to the soul and thoughts of the characters.

In the rapid period of globalization, the readers also strive to receive huge information rapidly. That’s why they don’t have needs to large sized novels. Actually, today’s novelistic thoughts realizing the value of people come the following conclusion, - the least and the poorest people is great for that he is a human. Such kind of poetic conceptualization brings in the process of poetic interpretation the hopes of raising the human value. Eastern literature considered the celestial eminence as a contrast of non-natural order on the earth, the moral-spiritual status of human and a symbol of the whole universe. They have interpreted social-political, moral criteria and the harmony which is specific to the sense of life in a space measure.

General specific features[3] concerning to the poetics of new novels are taking place with unique relation to the following phenomena:

- Creating literary character his inner world, his uncertain spiritual changes – specific pros and cons belonged to his spiritual dialect and also its development is honestly reviewing different recurs through inner monologue. The main reason- that is the principles of hope to their own life position is united in the person’s soul. Each person is complicated and unrepeated as to essence, the same time he is uncertain creature. But the practical action is the final result of his inner thoughts which have been born in his soul through the impact of particular condition and events. That’s why to provide rational logical consequences and show the activity of literary character to be presented by the depiction from result to cause – through inner and outer life synthesis;   

- the changes regarding to the inner dramatis of  the character is a dynamic process. The solution of spiritual conflicts are solved by an extreme action and inner spiritual dilemma(is an opportunity to choose one from two solution, which are opposite to each other for avoiding from difficult situation basing on character’s inner discussion-conclusion);

- the inner monologue of the literary character provides honestly approach of the writer to his character independently from the speech of the author basing on his own wishes and thoughts;

- from the characters thoughts, dreams and action style to his usage of different metaphors, phrases, gestures, his age, profession, competency, life experience and outlook is logically appropriate – adequate;

- word is not follower which is traditionally developed in a constant way, but it is an important detail which defined its stylistic-psychological basis. So, the word expressed real life depiction. That is it becomes the interpretation of literary character’s thoughts. It presents events and time by itself. It connects life, inner thoughts – dramatic changes of soul with the eternity;

- in the memory-dialogues keeps the specific elements which belongs to each character;

- the novels impact and literary content sense provided by the character’s penitence and supplication. Achieved to make sharp of follow up dramatization and details adaptation;

- strengthening the under meaning of the artwork by fruitfully usage of the mythological hints, symbolic-allegorical elements.
