This article compares how Xurshid Do‘stmuhammad and James Joyce use artistic psychologism and chronotope in their works. It argues that inner monologue, stream of consciousness, psychological detail, memory, and subjective time shape literary text structure. The analysis highlights aesthetic outcomes from the interaction of individual consciousness, national mentality, and chronotope in both authors' writings.
During the 9th–12th centuries, the spread of Islam in Transoxiana incorporated Buddhist and shamanic practices into Islamic rituals, as shown by historical sources. Through acculturation and cultural transformation, local traditions were gradually adapted to Islamic festivals, Sufi practices, and popular customs. Local traditions did not entirely disappear; certain elements persisted within the new religious environment. Traces of Buddhist and shamanic heritage can be observed in Sufi rituals. This historical syncretism contributed to the emergence of distinctive religious practices in Central Asia.
