Concept of joy in Uzbek literary context

Abstract

This paper explores the intricate emotional concepts embedded within Uzbek culture, highlighting their significance in shaping social interactions, identity, and communal values. Drawing on ethnographic studies and cultural analyses, we examine how emotions are expressed, understood, and valued in various contexts, including family dynamics, traditional celebrations, and everyday life. By understanding these emotional frameworks, we gain deeper insights into the Uzbek worldview and the ways in which emotions serve as a bridge between individual experiences and collective identity. This study contributes to the broader discourse on cultural psychology and emotional intelligence, emphasizing the importance of contextualizing emotional concepts within specific cultural narratives.
