Where Currents Meet. Frontiers in Post-Soviet Fiction of Kharkiv, Ukraine

Author(s): Tanya Zaharchenko / Language(s): English

Where Currents Meet, Tanya Zaharchenko’s path-breaking study of literature and cultural memory, moves decisively beyond the simplistic view of a post-Soviet Ukraine divided between east and west. It positions the Ukrainian and Russian components of cultural experience in the country’s east as elements of a complex continuum. Combining insights from memory studies and border studies, Zaharchenko analyzes a generation of younger writers in the city of Kharkiv—a “doubletake generation” that came of age at the time of the Soviet Union’s collapse and now revisits this experience through fiction. In the works of Serhiy Zhadan, Andreĭ Krasniashchikh, Yuri Tsaplin, Oleh Kotsarev, and others the author reveals how borderlands and frontiers, both geographical and conceptual, acquire zonal qualities of their own as these writers navigate the historical legacy they have inherited.

Creating the Image of the Other in Ukrainian Literature of the 21st Century

Author(s): Iraida Tombulatova / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

An imagological research in literature is important as the writers create the images of the other countries for their compatriots. Moreover, those images are to stay in collective memory through the years. It is also necessary to focus on the details, which are depicted in the literary works to understand what creates the universal image of a nation and people. Currently travel literature becomes more and more popular in Ukraine and many authors work in the genre of travelogue. To analyse the trends of actual national images of other countries in Ukrainian contemporary literature the literary pieces of three celebrated Ukrainian writers were taken. The images of Germany, Latin America and the Balkans are represented in the books written by A. Kuzmenko, M. Kidruk and A. Lyubka. It should be noted that all the analysed literary works are the bestsellers. It means that an imagological research deals with the national images, perceived by thousands of the Ukrainians. Furthermore, literature can construct some new national stereotypes of represented nations and destroy some old stereotypes of those nations in the minds of Ukrainian readers. Such a scientific investigation can make it easier to understand the way how cultural artefacts can influence the perception of nations in the period of fast globalization.

This research is reflected in three important aspects: biographical, aesthetical and social. The biography, worldview and private relations of the writer, which cause controversial tension in criticism, are comprehended in this book.

Choroba – defekt – literatura: perspektywy badania narracji chorobowych

Author(s): Iwona Boruszkowska / Language(s): Polish,Ukrainian Publication Year: 0

The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the relations between medical practice and literary studies against the background of the latest theories and research trends. It will be particularly interesting to outline the possibility of using tools from the field of the developing studies of illness as a cultural phenomenon in reviewing the genres of the literature of suffering and illness. The canon of pathographic literature discussions includes publications by Arthur Kleinman, Anne Hawkins, Arthur W. Frank and Thomas Couser. A common element of the discussed genres is the poetics of illness and the use of narrative strategies that present the medical experience. Due to the growing popularity and diversity of the so-called illness writing, it seems necessary to distinguish between autopathography and pathography, where autopathography is a narrative created by an ill person / patient, a specific autobiography (in the form of various ego-documents discussing the illness – letters, diaries, memoirs, etc.), a subjective autobiographical narrative about the illness. The article will then focus on the theory of defect, maladic narratives and the turn towards narrative medicine in literary studies.

Choroba miejscem autobiograficznym

Author(s): Marta Kaczmarczyk / Language(s): Polish,Ukrainian Publication Year: 0

The purpose of this article is to reflect on the different representations of the experience of illness that come from the personal document literature of Lesia Ukrainka. The disease creates autobiographical places in the poet’s biography. We observe a gradual expropriation from biography and carnality. The disease creates a patient’s identity, forcing the poet to fight the enslavement of the body.

Chora dusza – chore ciało

Author(s): Paulina Olechowska / Language(s): Polish,Ukrainian Publication Year: 0

In this article, I analyse the heroine’s (narrator’s) toxic relationship with her grandmother in Tania Maliarchuk’s short story "The Devil of Hunger". The story presents two women who have experienced trauma and are trying to express it. I consider the post-traumatic state of both the grandmother and the granddaughter as a medical condition that results in body ailments and dysfunctions of the psyche. In the case of the grandmother it is expressed in sadistic behaviour towards her granddaughter and in the case of the granddaughter it manifests as depressive states and emotional instability. Both women display “unhealthy” states of the body and spirit.

Семантичне поле мотиву відьомства в сучасній українській літературі (на матеріалі "Казки про калинову сопілку" Оксани Забужко)

Author(s): Halyna Żukowska / Language(s): Polish,Ukrainian Publication Year: 0

The article analyses the motif of witchcraft and its semantic field in modern Ukrainian literature based on the material of Oksana Zabuzhko’s "The Reedpipe Tale". It reveals the symbolic modulations of the witch’s image in the context of ideology, philosophy, and Zabuzhko’s writing style. An analysis of the interpretive model of the witch’s image in Oksana Zabuzhko’s story shows that in contemporary feminist postmodernism witchcraft represents the inner state of a woman in the patriarchal society, her peculiar way of defence and protest. The interpretation of the demonic possession of a woman in Oksana Zabuzhko’s story is carried out in several interpretative vectors, but they all remain closely connected with folk and mythological ideas: the image of a witch has a dual nature, reflecting a struggle between good and evil, light and darkness, the human and the demonic. In Oksana Zabuzhko’s literary interpretation, a woman in the traditional society is its mirror reflection, so the innate demonic nature of a woman is not associated with evil, and the transformation of this force into destructive one is due to the detrimental influence of the social environment. The use of Biblical myths, folklore, and ethnographic images and symbols in Oksana Zabuzhko’s story is shown to be a way of creating a timeless background for philosophical reflections on the eternal questions of human existence.

Motyw choroby w ukraińskiej sztuce kobiecej

Author(s): Michał Szymko / Language(s): Polish,Ukrainian Publication Year: 0

From the beginning, the theme of illness and suffering has been very important in Ukrainian women’s art. Over the past several decades, Ukrainians have experienced significant changes in the organization of the state and social life. Therefore, the female narrative in art speaks about suffering as the main inspiration in creating. The artists have treated their works as a diary and as therapy. The article presents three main features that influence the general theme of illness in Ukrainian women’s art, among them the physical and spiritual illness and social illness caused by the yoke of war.

Motyw choroby w powieści Jeleny Czyżowej "Czas kobiet"

Author(s): Monika Zielińska-Dziubińska / Language(s): Polish,Ukrainian Publication Year: 0

In this article, an analysis is conducted of the concept of disease as one of the motifs addressed by Elena Chizhova in her novel "The Time of Women". This motif was presented by the author in two dimensions: metaphorical and physical. The protagonist Antonina Bespalova, working in health-detrimental conditions and a single mother of a girl suffering from inborn mutism, is “infected” with the virus of communism. However, the virus of propaganda, destroying an individual’s autonomy, does not affect her love towards her daughter. Driven by the imperative of love, the woman aims to protect her daughter from the destructive influence of the communist system at any price. Exploitation, difficult living conditions in the Soviet Union of the 1960s as well as the factory authorities’ interference in the protagonist’s private life lead to her physical and psychological exhaustion, resulting in cancer-induced premature death.

Literackie konstelacje (w) twórczości Andrieja Zwiagincewa

Author(s): Beata Waligórska-Olejniczak / Language(s): English,Russian,Polish

This book presents the interpretation of the films made by Andrey Zvyagintsev, one of the best-known contemporary directors, in the context of the selected texts of Russian literature. Although his films tend to be compared with the masterpieces of the world cinematography (i.e. the achievements of Michelangelo Antonioni, Ingmar Bergman, Robert Bresson, Michael Haneke, Alexander Sokurov, and most often Andrey Tarkovsky) it is easy to note – both in Poland and overseas as well – the lack of thorough monographs that would treat all his works as a complete and consistent art project. This book constitutes the first attempt of such research undertaking. The presented interpretation has comparative character, its methodological basis is the category of cultural memory as expounded in the theories of Astrid Erll and Renate Lachmann, enrooting this term in a broadly understood notion of intertextuality, close to the concept of the memory of the text. Each of the chapters contains the case study of one of the short or feature films (including TV series) and turns attention to metaphors, motives and migratory themes, taking their origin in the literary texts of Mikhail Bulhakov, Ivan Bunin, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin and Lev Tolstoy. The monograph offers also a wide overview of articles published so far on Zvyagintsev in Russian, English and Polish. The author takes into account the comments given by the Russian director himself concerning his works.
