ARTISTIC REFLECTION OF THE POSTMODERNIST WORLDVIEW IN NARGIZ ISMAYILOVA'S MONOGRAPH “KAMAL ABDULLA AND POSTMODERNIS”

Abstract

Postmodernism is a philosophical and aesthetic movement that emerged in the mid-20th cen- tury and has retained its influence into the contemporary period. As a multifaceted phenomenon, postmodernism has left its mark on every sphere from art to politics. While it introduced flexibility, tolerance, and plurality into modern thinking, some critics argue that it relativized values. This mo- vement questions traditional values, the notion of objective truth, and classical structures. Kamal Abdulla has created a unique literary style by adapting the universal methods of postmodernism to the cultural codes of Azerbaijan. His works constitute a significant contribution both to the develop- ment of national literature and to the global postmodern discourse. Nargiz Ismayilova’s monograph Kamal Abdulla and Postmodernism provides an in-depth analysis of these approaches, evaluating the author’s oeuvre within the global postmodern context. The book emphasizes Kamal Abdulla’s role as an example of the successful fusion of postmodernism with national sources in Azerbaijani literature.
