Germanistische und ukrainistische Forschung über die Darstellung des Phantastischen und des Mystischen in der Literatur
German and Ukrainian Studies on the Representation of Fantastic and Mystic in Literature

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problem of the differentiation of such concepts as the fantastic and the mystic in scientific treatises of German and Ukrainian literary studies. The reasons are sought for the fact that Ukrainianists use the term mystical not only with regarding Romantics, but also with regarding of contemporary literature, while German literary scholars tend to speak of the fantastic in literary works. The idea is supported that the mystic is shaped by the national tradition of attitude to the questions of a mystical feeling or divine enlightenment that have not yet been fully clarified by science.
