DIALOGUE BETWEEN EASTERN AND WESTERN LITERARY TRADITIONS: A HISTORICAL AND THEORETICAL ANALYSIS
Abstract
This article examines the interaction and dialogue between Eastern and Western literary traditions from historical and theoretical perspectives. The study explores literary connections from the classical period to modernity, focusing on translation movements, the exchange of aesthetic principles, and transformations within modernism and postcolonial thought. It argues that the relationship between Eastern and Western literatures represents not a unilateral influence but a multidimensional cultural dialogue. The findings highlight the significance of intercultural literary exchange in shaping global literary processes. The article also draws on comparative literature and postcolonial frameworks to understand the mechanisms of literary interaction.
