" EXISTENTIAL ETHICS OF RESISTANCE IN THE STORY OF NAZAR ESHONQUL "THE UNTIMELY BELL"
Keywords:
Nazar Eshonkul, existentialism, ethics of responsibility, chronotope, memory, power, humiliation, modern Uzbek prose.Abstract
The article is devoted to the existential problematics of Nazar Eshonqul's story "The Untimely Ringing Bell", in which the conflict between man and power, personal memory and violence, ethical choice and historical guilt is revealed through the figure of the humiliated watchman and the symbol of the untimely ringing bell. The analysis is based on the concepts of M. Bakhtin, E. Levinas, and G. Markuze, as well as modern research on Uzbek prose. It is shown that Eshonqul constructs the chronotope of power as a space of alienation and creates a hero who goes from submission to an inner "conscience call." The story is interpreted as an artistic model of ethical awakening in the context of dehumanized social reality.
