Author(s): Irena Betko / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: IX/2004

The subject of this article is The grave stones of contributors o f Lavra (the author means the one in Kiev) which presents epitaphs as one of the characteristic genres of the European baroque literature. Being religiously artistic the baroque epitaph is deeply contextual to the art of the depicted period; it is bonded to the monumental forms of art in the form, and to the Christian ritual of burial - in the content. It is the specific ritualism of epitaph that becomes the source of connotative meanings. The analysis of The grave stones mirrors the whole spectrum of the Ukrainian baroque epitaph characteristics: multilingual versions (poets wrote them in Old Ukrainian as well as in Church Slavonic, ancient Greek, Latin, Old Polish and Old Russian); stylistic peculiarities (epic, lyric and drama); poetic structure. The latter which takes place in a number of texts in The grave stones can be defined as an „epitaph within an epitaph”. The author distinguishes some general patterns of the language of the Ukrainian baroque epitaph: a wide use of Evangelic and antique motifs, antique mythological onomastics, etc.

150 rocznica urodzin Mychajła Hruszewskiego. Kilka słów refleksji polskiego historyka

Author(s): Teresa Chynczewska-Hennel / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2016

Mykhailo Hrushevsky, a Ukrainian historian and politician, was born at Chełm on 29 September 1866, died on 25 November 1934 at Kislovodsk. He is the author of a ten-volume synthesis of History of Ukraine-Rus’, published in Lwow and Kiev in 1898–1936. In his work, he separated the history of Ukraine from the history of Russia. Living and working in specific national and social conditions of Ukraine at the turn of the 20th century, he disapproved of the role of Poland and Polish people in the history of Ukraine. The response of the Polish historiography of that time to Hrushevsky’s work was very negative – he was accused of having politicised history. Those opinions and polemics concerning Hrushevsky and his publication have been gathered and presented in a book by Ł. Adamski Nacjonalizm postępowy. Mychajło Hruszewski i jego poglądy na Polskę i Polaków [Progressive Nationalism. Mykhailo Hrushevsky and His Opinions of Poland and Poles], published in Warsaw in 2011. There is also a debate among Ukrainian historians. Since 1997 the History of Ukraine-Rus’ is being published in English (The Hrushevsky Translation Project), thanks to The Peter Jacyk Centre for Ukrainian Historical Research Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies. The project is headed by Professor Frank E. Sysyn. The last, tenth volume, is entitled: From the Death of Khmelnytsky to the Union of Hadiach (Edmonton–Toronto 2014). The English edition is supplemented with a full and comprehensive critical apparatus and rich literature on the subject.

A New Version of the Edige Epic from the Crimea: Karaim or Krymchak?

Author(s): Gulayhan Aqtay,Tülay Çulha / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2022

This paper presents a critical edition of a hitherto unknown Crimean version of the famous Noghay epic Edige. This version is anonymous and undated, probably copied in the 19th century. It contains seven pages of a codex of various contents and is incomplete. Despite being so short, this version is very interesting as it was copied in Hebrew script. After comparing this text with other versions, such as those in Crimean Tatar, Noghay, Baraba, Karakalpak and Kazakh, the article demonstrates that this version is closest to the Crimean Tatar and Noghay versions.

AKTYWNY ROMANTYZM. ESTETYKA LITERACKA WAPLITE W ŚWIETLE DOKUMENTÓW PROGRAMOWYCH

Author(s): Albert Nowacki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 5/2017

WAPLITE is one of the literary groups, which took an active part in shaping the face of Ukrainian literature in the 1920s. On the one hand, their vision of literature was the literature con-elating with the socialist model, on the other hand, the literature resonating with the most important trends in European literature. The main ideologue of the new aesthetics called “a romance of vitslism” was a co-founder of the group, Mykola Khvylovy, but Oleksa Slisarenko, Oles Dosvitnii, Yuri Yanovsky and Alexander Dovzhenko contributed much as well. This article is based on the analysis of the programming documents and literary works.

AN ATTEMPT TO RECONSTRUCT THE HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS OF UKRAINIANS IN V. KOZHELIANKO'S PROSE

Author(s): Antoniy Moysey,Antonina Anistratenko / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

В исторической науке и художественной литературе все чаще реализуется стремление человека изменить чтото в истории, чтобы понимая логику событий, успешно создавать альтернативную историю. Цель исследования заключается в попытке проследить способы воздействия на сознание реципиента в прозе В. Кожелянко, используемые писателем для реконструкции самосознания украинского народа. Поэтому, методологическая основа статьи заключается в использовании одновременно историко-сопоставимого метода и метода контекстуального анализа. Научная новизна работы сосредоточена в сочетании сравнительного подхода в анализе явлений художественной литературы и экстраполяции их на историографические события. Выводы. Творчество Василия Кожелянко рассмотрено в ключе жанровостилевого анализа и отдельных аспектов, таких как концепция урбанистической прозы, ироничный и приключенческий романы в творческом наследии писателя, исторически-социальный роман и особенности малой прозы на фоне современного рассказа и традиций неомодернизма.

An Endeavor of Freedom: Modern Anthologies of Ukrainian Free Verse

Author(s): Nataliia Naumenko / Language(s): English Issue: 98/2018

The main problem of researching the semantics of free verse and its translations is that every literary critic is free to look at this intricate genre, choosing one’s own set of tropes and figures to interpret it in written form. These facts were considered in this study of original Ukrainian free verse works and their interpretations, regarding the specific treats of languages to use. The anthology Вільний вітер. Волен вятър published in Kharkiv in 2017 became a material for this research. This issue makes a good opportunity for one reader to get acquainted with Bulgarian culture, and for another to actualize their knowledge about this country on Black Sea coast. The 20th century free verse writing represents quite active and flexible use of natural philosophical imagery in the artistic texture of the poems. These are different functions for it to fulfill (from decorating the lyrical narration up to expression of an essence of the work), stylistic means, and formation of the new connotations on the base of traditional meanings. Studying the interpretations of traditional genres and their poetics in compositional and lingual dimensions of both Ukrainian and Bulgarian free verses (those included into Вільний вітер) allowed seeing the fact: the more the author gets into the internal world of the character and one’s relationships with nature, the wider becomes the circle of meanings for the cultural conceit, image, and symbol. Furthermore, the larger research field gets opened for comparison of aforesaid meanings in various languages, not only Ukrainian and Bulgarian.

Anthropological Dimensions of War in the Works of Natalia Kobrynska

Author(s): Alla Shvets,Marta Drohomyretska / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2022

In the article, Nataliia Kobrynska’s anti-military prose is analyzed in the context of an anthropological approach, which makes it possible to shed light on the “human and war” issue in a wide anthropological range. In particular, aspects of collective and individual emotions of war, gender issues, Christian anthropology, trauma of loss, motive of escape, national memory and archetypes, psychology of murder, children's perception of war are considered. This involves the biographical context of the writer herself, who witnessed and fell victim to the war, personally experiencing all its horrors and describing them in her works.The artistic description of war is dominated by N. Kobrynska’s expressionist worldview, depictions of the phenomena of mental and physical pain, borderline states of existence, ontologization of death, cordocentrism, motives of the end of the world, phantasmagoric visions of mutilation, deconstruction of the human body. The writer demonstrates the war-induced transformations in both public and individual consciousness that the new frontline experience has brought to an individual. It is particularly evident in the psychology of her characters, as the author notes the deformation of human values, when, on the one hand, a person adapts to war, experiences emotional atrophy, becomes inert to murder, and on the other hand, the same person gains new experience – the struggle for new vital meanings, mercy towards one's neighbor, exalted prayerfulness, ritual veneration of heroes, waiting for relatives to return from war. The anthropological dimensions of the phenomenon of war are dominated by the humanistic guidelines of the writer.

Apple Blossoms and The Apple Tree: Two Perspectives. Typological and Ideological Similarities in Short Stories by Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky and John Galsworthy

Author(s): Oksana Halchuk / Language(s): English Issue: 38(43)/2020

The article provides comparative analysis of Apple Blossoms by Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky and The Apple Tree by John Galsworthy. Both authors explore human morality in a crisis of confrontation between sensuality and death, the beauty of life and the beauty of art. At the structural level, the works share an element of paratext, novelistic nature, polysemic images-landscapes, and methods of psychologization. Galsworthy engages the antinomy of the city – province, resorts to irony, and combines elements of impressionist writing with the traditions of realistic socio-psychological prose. In contrast, Kotsiubynsky systematically implements the impressionist fragmentary nature of the composition, symbolism of visual and auditory images, in-depth psychoanalysis, and the conventionality of the chronotope. The issues of short stories are diversified and aesthetic – as is distinct for modernist literature – implicitly in Kotsiubynsky’s work, and most explicitly through the connections with the Antiquity and English intertext in Galsworthy’s prose.

Autobiografi czny tekst Andruchowycza Tajemnica. Zamiast powieści. Kultura ukraińska w przekładzie

Author(s): Lesia Korostatevych / Language(s): Polish Issue: 7/2020

The aim of this article is to describe the definition of a “cultural element” and to provide an analysis of the methods used in the translation of Yurii Andrukhovych’s autobiographical text The Secret. Instead of a Novel. The work was published in 2007 by the publishing house Folio in Kharkiv (Ukraine), and it was translated into the Polish language by Michał Petryk. “Cultural elements” mean here those elements of the text that are a part of the culture of a given country. These include such elements as personal and generic titles, phrases, fragments of texts from a country’s literature, statements by famous people related to the important events that happened in the country. They also include the social, political, scientific, and cultural environment, including music, cinematography, and more. Yurii Andrukhovych outlines many of the details that were characteristic for the USSR and tries not to distort the facts. The Secret is an autobiographical novel; therefore, it contains many reminiscences about the Soviet Union, Ukrainian culture, and literature. An autobiography becomes a kind of time machine for him, an attempt to reconstruct the past. Therefore, he pays a lot of attention to the smaller things and tries to convey the details of the atmosphere of the time described. Because of this, the work is saturated with cultural elements that may cause untranslatability. The cultural elements mentioned in Yurii Andrukhovych’s text and the correlation of translation have not been oft en analysed in the past scientific studies; hence, this creates a need for scientific research. The scope of this study is limited to the group of literary-political cultural elements. The article analyses the methods chosen by the translator and compares the level of equivalence of the translated text to the original; also, it finds the causes of untranslatability of the novel.

Biblický metatext v ukrajinské modernistické próze (Ivan Bahrjanyj, Ihor Kosteckyj)

Author(s): Radana Merzova / Language(s): Czech Issue: 61/2020

The article focuses on Biblical motifs in the works of Ivan Bahrianyi (Gethsemane, 1950) and Ihor Kosteckyi (Saint day, 1963). Both authors belong to the movement of intellectual prose in Ukrainian literature. The concept of biblical references in their novels is briefly presented. An analysis of their prose works proves that references to Biblical metatext are closely linked to the historical events of the 1930s and 1940s (Stalinist terror, World Wars, emigration waves, etc.).
