TRANSFORMATIONS OF POWER: THE HIDDEN INFLUENCE OF OVID IN SHAKESPEARE'S HISTORICAL CHRONICLES
Full text linkThis paper examines the influence of Ovid’s Metamorphoses on William Shakespeare’s historical plays, focusing on King Richard II, The First Part of King Henry IV, The Second Part of King Henry IV, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and King Henry V. By analyzing the motif of transformation, both personal and political, the study highlights Shakespeare's adaptation of Ovidian themes to explore shifts in power, identity, and social dynamics. In King Richard II, the transformation of Richard from sovereign to mortal underscores the fragility and cyclical nature of power, while The First and Second Parts of King Henry IV follow Prince Hal's evolution into a responsible king, juxtaposed with Falstaff’s refusal to change. The Merry Wives of Windsor uses comedic humiliation and disguise to depict social transformation, while King Henry V illustrates Hal’s complete metamorphosis into a unifying leader. Through these works, Shakespeare reinterprets Ovidian metamorphosis to examine human vulnerability, change, and the impermanence of power within the context of Elizabethan drama
SHAKESPEARE BEING GLOCAL: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SHAKESPEARE’S ‘HAMLET’ AS BHARDWAJ’S ‘HAIDER’
Full text linkThe present article compares and contrasts Shakespeare's Hamlet with the 2014 film Haider, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, which sheds light on the unseen aspects of the 1989 insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir. The movie not only focuses on Jammu and Kashmir but also presents an ingenious point of view that connects us with the real drawbacks of human society. Hamlet is not only about revenge; it is about the theme of the disappearance of King Hamlet, where Prince Hamlet is pretending to be insane to trap his uncle. It is also about the corruption that prevailed in Denmark and the sufferings that the women had to go through. The plot of Denmark is replaced in Haider by the plot of the Kashmir conflict in 1995 and enforced civil disappearances. The characters are given new shades according to contemporary Kashmir
Teaching Literature with Creative Problem-Solving in the Second Trimester of Elementary School
Full text linkTaking ethical literary studies (Virk 2017) into account, the article demonstrates that modern ways of teaching literature can already be used in the second trimester of elementary school. These include creative problem-solving (Žbogar 2007, 2013), flipped learning (Žbogar 2023a, 2023b), the method of solving literary problems (Žbogar 2023c), and knowledge about the neuroscience of reading (Pirtošek 2016). We demonstrate that, through contemporary methods of teaching literature, pupils can be encouraged to gain a deeper understanding of the fairy tale, ethical matters, and the competence to compare it with Dostoevsky’s The Begger Boy at Christ’s Christmas Tree by studying Hans Christian Andresen’s The Little Match Girl
CONCERNING VERBS WITH SOCIAL SEMANTICS IN THE UZBEK LANGUAGE
Full text linkThis paper is devoted to the analysis of verbs with social semantics in the Uzbek language; it discusses the concept of the social component and its linguistic expression, analyzes research on the topic, and provides a comparative opinion on them. Social group, social status, and social relations are discussed. The social aspect of word semantics is openly or covertly expressed in various social relationships. Additionally, with respect to speech activity verbs in the Uzbek language, the characteristics of the manifestation of the social component in them were considered. The verbs belonging to this group were divided into two subgroups according to the fact that they clearly express the subject's position in the social environment and that the subject is a higher or lower person than the addressee through the social context, and analytical examples are presented
ON SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF MODERN OFFICE-WORK TERMINOLOGY IN UZBEK LANGUAGE
Full text linkThis paper is devoted to the analysis of the issues of conducting office work in Uzbek and its terminology, in which the sources of the formation of document names in the Uzbek language, their compatibility with the content of the document, and a comparative analysis of the use of document names between periods are discussed. Recommendations for updating or changing the names of some documents were also given, and the means of ensuring the accuracy, conciseness and clarity of the text of the document, as well as the content accuracy, were discussed. At the same time, the article pays special attention to issues such as the systematization of clerical terms, specialization of term-forming adverbs, uniqueness of sentence construction in document texts, stereotyped sentences and terminological combinations, and presentation and interpretation of clerical terms in Uzbek explanatory dictionaries
Transcending Religious Identity
Full text linkThis paper aims at exploring the evolution of religion and its relevance in contemporary society. It focuses on the journey of Sanatana Dharma, popularly known as Hinduism: how misbalance in religious and sociocultural life led it to divisive nature, and becoming a victim of hypocrisy and blind faith resulting in repulsion; how it became a strong political tool; how it affects identity of people; and why people prefer to be called humanists instead of being its followers in order to transcend their religious identity. The theories of the origin of religion have been explored along with some religious scriptures and their cultural significance in order to better understand the present relevance of religion
THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE LABOR MARKET IN GLOBAL TRENDS
Full text linkThe concept of globalization has attracted the attention of many researchers, academics, politicians, and social activists in the world. The term "globalization" has become the most frequently used in both official and unofficial international discussions regarding the interdependence of economies and nations. Globalization has evolved. Globalization has begun to be important since the end of the Cold War and has accelerated the rapid liberalization of developing economies. The process of globalization significantly impacts the labor market by advancing production techniques and information technologies. At the same time, globalization has been the subject of many controversies; it has often been considered a cause of problems, especially in less developed countries where the consequences are even more sensitive. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of globalization determined in the labor market, the integration of economic activities, mainly through markets, on economic and global sustainability, and competition throughout the globe. Globalization has opened up new opportunities for broad-based development around the world. However, this is not happening evenly, as some regions are integrating into the global economy faster than others, with evidence of rapid growth and reduced poverty
ANALYSIS OF LEXEMES DENOTING HEADGEAR IN OLD TURKIC
Full text linkAmong the rich cultural heritage, customs, and values of the Uzbek people, national clothing holds a special place. Traditional garments possess not only aesthetic value but also social and cultural significance. National attire reflects the history, lifestyle, climate, and worldview of the people. At the same time, the names of these garments deeply embody the people’s language, way of thinking, and ethnic characteristics. Therefore, the linguistic study of Uzbek national clothing is considered one of the important directions in linguistics
EVALUATION, ANALYSIS AND REPORTING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 21ST CENTURY
Full text linkThe fundamental responsibilities of intelligence services, such as assessment, analysis, and reporting, have always been critical, and their importance is only increasing in the first half of the 21st century. The conflict in Ukraine underscores the necessity of precise and dependable analysis and reporting. However, this field has been significantly affected by changes and challenges arising from intelligence-sharing policies and the rapid progress of artificial intelligence. This study delves into how these factors can shape the work of intelligence and reporting in the modern intelligence community
ASSESSMENT AND TESTING OF WORD SUBCLASSES AND COMPOUND PATTERNS USED BY ALBANIAN STUDENTS OF ENGLISH
Full text linkSince contrastive analysis is the focal point of my research, it is essential to emphasize that this method is one of several that examines languages by accentuating their differences and similarities. This study aims to find, contrast, and compare English compounding patterns with subclasses of compound words that correspond to Albanian words regarding meaning and formation. The subject of what defines a compound phrase emerges here. Compound words are formed by amalgamating two or more topics to produce a new term. Their constituents may include nouns, adjectives, verbs, or adverbials as subjects. A compound is a lexeme, specifically a word, in linguistics that comprises multiple stems. Compounding is the process via which compound lexemes are created, with derivation being the alternative process. The capacity and technique of language to generate new words through the combination of existing words is known as compounding or word-compounding. Compounding transpires when an individual amalgamates two or more words to create a singular term with a novel meaning. The interconnection of word meanings can yield a novel interpretation that significantly diverges from the meanings of the individual words. The findings from the collected English and Albanian grammar texts indicate that, although English and Albanian are similar regarding compounds, they diverge in their formation of compounds. The primary objective of this study is to identify analogies and compare compound phrases in both languages
