STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT AND METHODOLOGICAL BASIS OF UZBEK RURAL STUDIES IN THE PERIOD OF INDEPENDENCE

Abstract

This article analyzes the formation, stages of development and methodological principles of one of the most important branches of Uzbek literary studies - cholpan studies - during the years of independence. The study highlights the emergence of a new cholpan study, free from the ideological pressures of the Soviet era, the introduction of archival materials into scientific circulation, and approaches to the hermeneutic and poetic analysis of the poet's works.
