Abstract

Relevance. The research relevance of the worldview of independence and freedom among the poets of the Abai region is determined by cultural uniqueness, cultural exchange and discussion of human rights in a globalising world.

Purpose. The study aims to analyse the worldview of independence among the authors of the Abai region, determining the role of their work in creating a cultural identity and interaction with the global literary and cultural tradition.

Methodology. The contextual and intertextual analyses enriched the understanding of independence and freedom in the poems of the Abai region poets, connecting them to personal and global contexts.

Results. The study determined that independence combines not only individual freedom of action but also the recognition of social ties, emphasising the role of personal decisions in the social context. The analysis of poems by poets from the Abai region reveals a unique interweaving of cultural heritage and modern views on freedom and independence, full of philosophical reflections and national symbolism. The texts address the themes of self-determination, personal freedom and socio-political issues, presenting poetry as a means of discussing social problems and expressing the desire for change.

Conclusions. The intertextual analysis of Abai poetry shows its close connection with world literary trends, revealing how global cultural trends are harmoniously combined with the uniqueness of Kazakh literature. The influence of Romanticism, Symbolism and Modernism is particularly emphasised, enriching the texts with the idealisation of nature and symbolic studies. Local authors are actively adapting and reinterpreting these influences, creating multi-layered works that reflect both the personal and social aspects of contemporary Kazakh society, demonstrating a significant contribution to the global literary tradition.
