CROSS-CULTURAL INTERPRETATION OF CULTURAL REALITIES IN ENGLISH LITERARY TEXTS
Main Article Content
Аннотация:
this study explores the cross-cultural interpretation of cultural realities in English literary texts, emphasizing how literature reflects and negotiates diverse social, historical, and cultural contexts. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, the study examines selected literary works to identify culturally embedded themes, symbols, and narrative strategies. Findings suggest that cross-cultural reading enhances readers’ understanding of both source and target cultures, promoting empathy, intercultural awareness, and critical thinking. The study also highlights challenges in interpreting culturally specific elements and the importance of contextual knowledge. Implications for teaching and literary analysis underscore the value of integrating crosscultural perspectives into English literary studies.
