The trends of development of Azerbaijani satire in Kamran Mammadov's studies

Abstract

In the article, the primary provisions of Professor Kamran Mammadov’s scientific research on
satire are selected as the focus of analysis. Firstly, the scientist's work in literary historiography emphasizes
the characteristics of specific literary figures' creativity.
From a scientific-theoretical perspective, the controversial aspects of satire in literary studies are also
highlighted in the article. This approach systematically reviews the evolution of Kamran Mammadov’s
satire, particularly its place and role in Azerbaijani literature, ranging from folklore texts to written
examples. In this context, the author's conceptual stance on creative issues, such as the role of satire in the
works of poets like Gasim bey Zakir, Seyid Azim Shirvani, Mirza Alekber Sabir, Baba bey Shakir, Mirze
Bakhish Nadim, Aligulu Gemkusar and Mirze Ali Mojuz is evaluated against the achievements of modern
literary studies.
Alongside the scientist's insights and findings regarding the significance and leading role of satire in
Azerbaijani poetry, the developmental trends of this tendency in other literary forms and genres such as
prose and drama are also examined, incorporating analytical and generalizing theoretical propositions at this
level of research.
