The body, power and violence in Ukrainian photography and novels. Serhij Bratków and Sofia Andruchowycz

Summary/Abstract: The article refers to the idea of the body in Ukrainian contemporary art and literature. The author discusses a series of photographs of Serhij Braktow entitled Kids, as well as Sofia Andruchowycz’s novel, Siomga. Both Bratkov and Andruchowycz analyze the cultural processes of the training and adapting of a child’s and a woman’s body to the social norms. An important aspect is self-discipline, forcing the individual, oftenunconsciously, toadapt themselves to society’s demands and expectations.
