ARTISTIC-DRAMATURGICAL FEATURES AND DIRECTORIAL CONCEPTS OF TALK SHOWS ON PRIVATE TELEVISION CHANNELS IN UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

This paper explores the artistic-dramaturgical and directorial dimensions of talk show production on private television channels in Uzbekistan. By analyzing the creative structure, audience interaction, and the role of directors in shaping communicative narratives, the study seeks to identify how global television theories are localized within Uzbekistan’s media landscape. Drawing upon works of Western media theorists such as John Fiske, Stuart Hall, and Jeremy Butler, this research examines how dramaturgical elements and directorial strategies influence audience perception and social discourse in contemporary Uzbek television.
