COMPARATIVE CULTURAL ANALYSIS: A STUDY OF UZBEK ANECDOTES IN WORLD LITERATURE
Abstract
This study aims to explore the cultural significance, thematic elements, and global influence of Uzbek anecdotes in world literature. Through qualitative analysis of a selection of Uzbek anecdotes, we examine their narrative structures, moral and philosophical underpinnings, and their role in representing Uzbek culture and values. Additionally, we analyze their reception and influence in world literature, focusing on how these anecdotes have been integrated, adapted, and appreciated in different cultural contexts.
