Abstract
This article offers an analytical study of the artistic and aesthetic representation of the idea of freedom in the poetry of Kasym Amanzholov, a major figure in Kazakh literature. The main objective of the research is to identify how the concept of independence was formed in the poet’s creative worldview and through which poetic devices it was expressed. Amanzholov’s poetry is examined in close relation to its historical and social background within the triadic framework of “time – society – human,” which allows for a holistic interpretation of his works. The study applies historical-comparative, typological, and textual analysis methods. Special attention is paid to the connection between the idea of freedom and the lyrical hero’s worldview, civic position, emotional intensity, and stylistic individuality. The poem “Duniyege Zhar” (Proclamation to the World) is selected as the main object of textual analysis, revealing the themes of national identity, aspiration for liberty, and universal human values. The article demonstrates the continuity of Amanzholov’s poetry with the traditions of Makhambet, Abai, Magzhan Zhumabayev, and Ilyas Zhansugurov, emphasizing the interaction of tradition and innovation. One of the key findings is the identification of a unified artistic system combining figurative imagery, lyricism and pathos, philosophical depth, and a strong civic voice. The research highlights the importance of the idea of freedom in shaping the national spirit and the consciousness of independence in Kazakh poetry and confirms the relevance of Amanzholov’s poetic legacy for literary studies and education.
