HISTORICAL ROOTS OF THE MATERNAL IMAGE IN UZBEK AND WORLD LITERATURE
This article offers a comprehensive analysis of the genesis of the maternal image in both world and Uzbek literature, as well as its archetypal manifestations within the broader context of global cultural traditions. The study is grounded in a multidisciplinary examination of ancient literary monuments, including the “Avesta”, classical mythological systems, and relevant anthropological and cultural research. Special attention is devoted to the mechanisms through which maternal representations have been formed within mythological, religious, and cultural frameworks, and to the functional significance of these representations in the broader processes of societal development.
