ALEKSANDR FAYNBERG: A POETIC CONSCIOUSNESS BRIDGING CULTURES
Abstract
Aleksandr Arkadevich Faynberg (1939–2009) was a prominent Soviet and Uzbek poet, translator, and screenwriter whose creative legacy occupies a unique position between Russian and Uzbek literary traditions. This article examines Faynberg’s poetic worldview through selected English translations of his works, focusing on themes of existential autonomy, alienation, memory, and cultural mediation. Through close textual analysis, the study demonstrates how Faynberg’s poetry constructs symbolic landscapes that reflect both personal and collective experience. His legacy is evaluated as a cultural bridge that transcends linguistic and national boundaries.
