The Visionary Apex: A Philosophical Inquiry into William Blake's Concept of Imagination

Dr. Gracia Gonzalez — 2025-07-01

This article undertakes an extensive philosophical exploration of William Blake's multifaceted concept of imagination, arguing that for Blake, imagination transcends mere fantasy or artistic faculty to represent the very essence of divine vision, ultimate reality, and the indispensable means for human liberation and spiritual reintegration. Contrasting Blake's "visionary imagination" with the prevailing empirical and rationalistic epistemologies of his era, particularly those profoundly influenced by figures such as John Locke and Isaac Newton, we meticulously analyze how he posits imagination as the primary and most authentic mode of knowing eternal truths and engaging directly with the divine. The study delineates imagination's critical and transformative role as the preeminent creative force in both art and prophecy, a divinely ordained pathway to realizing the "Human Form Divine," and a revolutionary tool against pervasive societal oppression and spiritual alienation. By synthesizing exhaustive insights from Blake's rich and complex poetic and prophetic works, along with key critical interpretations from leading Blakean scholars, this paper illuminates the profound and far-reaching epistemological, ontological, and ethical implications of Blake's imaginative philosophy, asserting its enduring and critical relevance in contemporary thought and its capacity to offer alternatives to modern paradigms.

Interpretation of The Plot and Historical Image in The Novel "Imam Maturidi" By Lukman Borikhan

Khamidova Dilorom Olimjonovna — 2025-07-09

This article provides a detailed analysis and interpretation of the plot of the novel "Imam Maturidi" by the Uzbek writer Lukman Borikhan and the image of the main character in it - Abu Mansur Maturidi. In this work, the writer used a retrospective type of plot to describe the events of the past.

In order to artistically depict the image of a historical figure, the plot of the novel is composed of a prologue, three main parts and an ending. The structure of the work's architecture thus serves to depict the image of Maturidi without departing from its historical basis.

The Study of Postmemory And Trauma in Let the Great World Spin

Rakhimova Shakhnoza — 2025-07-09

This article explores the concept of postmemory and its manifestation in Colum McCann’s novel Let the Great World Spin, with a particular focus on the character of Gloria. Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of Marianne Hirsch and Cathy Caruth, the study examines how traumatic experiences—specifically those related to slavery and racial discrimination—are transmitted across generations not through direct recollection, but through everyday practices, family culture, and societal cues. While Gloria’s mother conveys the trauma of slavery unconsciously, Gloria receives and processes this inherited memory within a context shaped by social change and historical awareness. The article also considers how Gloria’s academic and personal achievements reflect both resilience and the continuing presence of trauma, illustrating the complexity of postmemory in relation to race, gender, and identity. Despite Gloria’s conscious engagement with her past, the lasting effects of trauma persist, revealing the enduring nature of historical wounds.

The Role of Media Contents in The Development of Teching Foreign Languages for Children

Tillayeva Mokhiniso — 2025-07-08

This article explores the role of children's print media in addressing linguocultural issues in foreign language education in Uzbekistan. By analyzing selected issues of Gulxan and G‘uncha magazines published between 2020 and 2024, the study reveals how these traditional publications integrate cultural narratives and basic English language content in a pedagogically meaningful way. The research employs a qualitative content analysis method grounded in linguoculturological theory. Findings indicate that the magazines support language acquisition by combining familiar cultural contexts with accessible language tasks, bilingual texts, and visual aids. Moreover, these materials help foster intercultural awareness and preserve national identity. The study concludes that children’s magazines, despite being traditional forms of media, remain valuable tools in early foreign language education when designed with cultural and linguistic sensitivity.

This article explores the lexical-semantic features of Arabic-derived medical units found in Abu Ali Ibn Sina’s Canon of Medicine. It analyzes how these terms entered the Uzbek language, their semantic transformation, instances of polysemy and homonymy, and their usage in both modern medical language and colloquial speech. The analysis focuses on historically significant terms such as dabba, xafaqon, and moxov, examining their medical and stylistic characteristics, meanings in explanatory dictionaries, and functions in artistic and spoken discourse.

Emplotment, Ideology, And the Transatlantic Metaphor in Colum Mccann’s Transatlantic

Rakhimova Shakhnoza — 2025-07-09

This article examines Colum McCann’s TransAtlantic through the theoretical frameworks of Fredric Jameson and Hayden White, focusing on how historical narrative is constructed, ideologically coded, and symbolically charged within a postmodern literary context. By applying Jameson’s model of the three interpretive horizons, historical, social, and political, the study explores the novel’s fragmentary structure, the role of ideological subtexts, and the symbolic function of narrative form. The analysis demonstrates how McCann’s depiction of real and fictional figures across different time periods generates a transhistorical dialogue, in which the metaphor of the “transatlantic” serves as a narrative and conceptual connector. White’s theories of emplotment and tropology further reveal how historical events are aestheticized and reframed within fictional discourse. Ultimately, the article argues that TransAtlantic enacts a complex negotiation between history and fiction, offering a multilayered reflection on memory, identity, and the representational challenges of narrating the past.
