THE ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION OF THE MOTIF OF LONELINESS IN ULUGBEK HAMDAM'S SHORT FICTION: ON THE EXAMPLES OF LONELINESS, STONE, AND JOURNEY

This article examines the artistic interpretation of the motif of loneliness in the short fiction of Ulugbek Hamdam, focusing on Loneliness, Stone, and Journey. The study analyzes how Hamdam represents the inner world of modern individuals through symbolic imagery, psychological narration, and existential conflict. The article is based on published literary texts and scholarly studies, with attention to narrative structure, symbolism, and the poetics of alienation. It argues that loneliness in Hamdam’s prose is not merely social isolation, but a complex spiritual and psychological condition associated with self-awareness, estrangement, and the search for meaning.本文聚焦乌卢格别克·哈姆达姆（Ulugbek Hamdam）短篇小说中孤独母题的艺术阐释，以《孤独》《石头》与《旅程》为核心分析对象。本研究通过象征意象、心理叙事与存在主义冲突的分析视角，剖析哈姆达姆展现现代个体内心世界的路径。本文依托已发表的文学文本与学术研究成果，重点关注叙事结构、象征手法与异化诗学。研究表明，哈姆达姆散文中的孤独绝非单纯的社会隔绝，而是一种与自我意识、疏离感及意义追寻紧密相关的复杂精神与心理状态。
