Abstract
The Jadid movement played a significant role in the cultural and intellectual modernization of Central Asia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although Jadid figures are frequently discussed as educators, writers, journalists, and political thinkers, their contribution to translation and intercultural communication also deserves systematic attention. This thesis examines the role of prominent Uzbek Jadid literary figures in the development of translation culture in Uzbekistan. It argues that their contribution should not be reduced to individual translated texts. More broadly, the Jadids created intellectual, linguistic, educational, and publishing conditions in which translation could function as an instrument of cultural renewal. Through multilingual reading, adaptation of educational and literary ideas, development of terminology, journalism, and modern genres, Jadid intellectuals widened the horizons of Uzbek readers. Particular attention is given to Mahmudhoja Behbudiy, Abdurauf Fitrat, and Abdulla Avloniy.
