THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PROTAGONIST WITH CONSCIOUSNESS, SPIRIT, AND TIME IN THE PROSE OF NAZAR ESHONQUL

This article examines the specific features of modeling the inner world of the protagonist in the prose of Nazar Eshonqul through the prism of the interrelation between consciousness, spiritual experience, and historical time. The analysis aims to identify the peculiarities of the character’s psychological structure, the functioning of memory, and the forms of temporal representation in narrative discourse. Special attention is paid to the fragmentation of the protagonist’s consciousness, his existential instability, and his pursuit of spiritual self-identification amid transformations in cultural and social values. It is argued that the category of time in the writer’s prose is nonlinear and functions as an active factor shaping the character’s inner world. The interaction of “mind — spirit — time” is interpreted as a dynamic system that determines both the poetics of the works and the nature of the artistic subject.
