Full textAbstract:
The attitude to biographical works has changed significantly under the influence of postmodernism: the refusal to perceive the author as a single authoritative source of meaning has led to the perception of biographical fiction as a fiction biography, creating in the context of the ideology a biography of the biographer himself. The aim of the proposed study is to find out how gender and ideology form the strategies for presenting the Ukrainian woman writer as a character of a biographical novel. The proposed article will deal with 4 works of different periods: “The Silent Deity” by V.Domontovych (1930), “At Dawn” by Y. Tys (1961), “Maria” by O. Ivanenko (1983), “Like a Magnet” by I. Rozdobudko (2013). At the heart of all of them is the life of the first Ukrainian writer Marco Vovchok (Maria Vilinska), but quite different women are represented in these works. The biographical works under consideration demonstrate more attention to the events of the writer’s life than to what she wanted to say in her work. The interpretation of Marco Vovchok’s stories is dominated by their political (social) significance and they are presented as a basis for talking about the life of the woman (with the exception of Rozdobudko’s story).

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to a voluminous biographical dramas Valerii Herasymchuk — the cycle «Piesy pro velykyh (Plays about the Great)». It is not yet fully formed, as the author is still adding works to this day, so it is required careful reading. A professional analysis of the writer’s biographical drama in the context of the intertextual methodology of modern literary studies seems appropriate.It is noted that Valerii Herasymchuk created his own system of relationships to the biographies and works of each of his protagonists, practicing new genre experiments and updating the already known forms of literary biography in relation to the cycle «Piesy pro velykyh (Plays about the Great)».Analysis of literary works devoted to contemporary biographical drama allows us to conclude that researchers of its various aspects often ignore the dramatic works of Valerii Herasymchuk as quite difficult for literary reception. At the center of each drama in the cycle «Piesy pro velykyh (Plays about the Great)» is a prominent historical or cultural figure: Metropolitan Andrii Sheptytsky, writer and film director Oleksandr Dovzhenko, historian and fiction writer Dmytro Yavornytskyi, Hetman Ivan Mazepa, poet Olena Teliha, fighter for Ukraine Stepan Bandera, classics of Ukrainian modern literature Ivan Franko and Lesia Ukrainka, singer Kvitka Cisyk, and outstanding Ukrainian director Les Kurbas.These plays can refer to different models and kinds of biographical drama, which is a distinctive feature of contemporary Ukrainian drama. As a playwright, Valerii Herasymchuk creates one of the directions of its development. His biographical drama organically combines dominant tendencies tied to the broadest cultural intertext. Valerii Herasymchuk’s innovation is the involvement of dramatic genres in the system of motifs and characters of plays, when the cultural intertext in the dramatic discourseworks at one of the deepest levels — the genre level.Herasymchuk’s biographical drama, represented by the cycle «Piesy pro velykyh (Plays about the Great)», is distinguished by «biographical trust», brave genre experimentation, and different strategies of prose, fiction, philosophical and literary reflections. Summarizing all of the above, Valerii Herasymchuk’s biographical drama is a promising material for literary analysis and generalization.

Full textAbstract:
The paper studies modern Ukrainian artistic reportage which synthesises the features of a travel essay and a report. The research provides a basis for drawing conclusions about genre dominants scattering in modern Ukrainian literature well-established features and modern Polish fiction story. The article aims to trace the development of artistic reportage in Ukrainian and Polish prose. The author has analysed a two-dimensional view of historic events and people’s lives in the works Stryi and the Old by Olexandr Gavrosh and Our Little Polish People’s Republic by Witold Szabłowski and Izabela Meyza. Comparative and biographical methods were used in the article. The significant combined components of both genres (a travel essay and a report) have been traced. The works include the subjectivity of the narrative, the appeal to real history, the abundance of evidence, the concision of descriptions, and emotionality. The narration in the reportages develops in parallel, focusing on the places, memory of things as well as on the reconstruction of real people’s life stories.

Full textAbstract:
Some critics consider a certain amount of works by Ukrainian writers to be philosophical. However, there are no systematic and general works or monographs about Ukrainian philosophical fiction as a defined phenomenon with its sources, historical dynamics, and genre differentiation. So the question arises: is this type of prose something sporadic and accidental, or is it fully represented in Ukrainian literature but still unidentified due to the inconsistency of the approaches applied? One can ask a more radical question: is philosophical prose the reality of Ukrainian literature or just critical fiction? The raised problem is relevant because its solution can shed light on such an obscured sector as philosophical prose and clarify its place in Ukrainian literature. So, the subject of the study is the genre boundaries of Ukrainian philosophical prose. We used analytical, generalization, biographical, and hermeneutical methods to establish these boundaries. The article aims to substantiate the view of Ukrainian philosophical prose as a defined, integral phenomenon. Achieving the goal required the following tasks: to consider the reasons for the absence of a detailed literary discourse on Ukrainian philosophical prose; to analyze the essential nature of philosophic prose, in particular, the dispersion of its components in the structure of the work and text; and to use the example of a short period at the beginning of the 20th century and several writers’ names to outline the approximate typology of Ukrainian philosophical prose. The article focuses on literary factors (the dominance of positivist and aesthetic optics) and general scientific ones (the long-term narrowing of the field of philosophy), which cause the confusing identification of philosophical prose. An attempt to eliminate these factors has been made. Also, we propose a terminological clarification regarding the essential characteristic of philosophical prose: not “typologization” but rather “prototyping”. In the article, we use the example of a short period at the beginning of the 20th century and the works of several famous writers (Olexiy Plyushch, Mykhailo Mohylyansky, Valerian Pidmohylyny) to demonstrate that Ukrainian prose contains the essentials of artistic philosophizing (prototyping). The conclusions of this article regarding the reasons for the absence of generalizing works on Ukrainian philosophical prose and its essential nature, as well as specific examples of artistic philosophizing, can be used in further studies of Ukrainian philosophical prose.

Full textAbstract:
The global trend of digitalization and publishing of historical sources, in particular fiction and its existence in different eras, makes the reader constantly reconsider the lives and work of persons who are regarded as prototypes of characters in literary works. As a result, an artistic image, linked to real life and rooted in the past, generates a consistent literary story in the form of artistic biography. The number and variety of such literary works, including dramatic ones, is constantly growing, which determines the topicality of this study. Over the recent decades, biographical fiction drastically changed its forms, and was enriched with numerous genre varieties and modifications. And this process remains far from complete. The term ‘meta-genre of artistic biography’ is introduced to designate it. This term emphasizes the scale of a certain phenomenon and allows defining the subject of the study — the artistic biographical description of the intellectual in contemporary Ukrainian drama — as well as clarify the understanding of the concept of the ‘intellectual,’ and problematize ways of describing characters of this type. The purpose of the article is to identify the genre-style unity of Ukraine’s modern drama about intellectuals and prove the expediency of the application to it of interpretive approaches to popular knowledge from related areas (history, philosophy, art). Specifically, such varieties of genres as personal artistic biography and intellectual artistic biography were singled out and proposed for the first time on the literary material (S. Rosovetskyi), and that is the research novelty. The research methodology is defined by an interdisciplinary approach that appeals to the achievements of literary criticism, art criticism, history, and philosophy. Results of the Study are connected with considerations that the interest in the artistic biography of the intellectual is associated with a general trend to anthropologize scientific knowledge, coupled with the growing interest of the audience in the individual and personal in the history and in the present, with the dominance of the emotional component in contemporary media discourses, resulting in the actualization of an emotional narrative of the intellectual’s biography, which often sounds tragic nowadays in the context of the catastrophic past of the Ukrainian science and culture.

Full textAbstract:
The communication possibilities of modern graphic narratives are extremely diverse: from the presentation of individual life stories to new cross-genre and even interdisciplinary phenomena (graphic medicine, comic journalism, data comics), which demonstrate the dialogic nature of comics, its universal openness, participatory and empathic nature. The authors pay special attention to the influence of military realities on the formation of national non-fiction discourse, and mediality is considered as a mediating strategy that depends on such influence. The article proposes a typology of forms of realization of mediality of Ukrainian documentary comics: creation of a heroic narrative (metamedial level), formation of a segment of documentary comics based on memories and spread of co-creation practices by Ukrainian and international comics makers. The functional features of the documentary comic (contextuality, multimodality, empathy, careful work with traumatic experience, destigmatization) contribute to its dissemination, and the use of new media changes one of the main features of the genre - the time distance between the event and the creation of the graphic text. Historical-heroic, biographical, journalistic comics are actively involved in the process of mediatization of memory, becoming means of archiving life stories. In line with the challenges of the "era of digital memories", Ukrainian documentary comics actively uses digital opportunities to present and disseminate new projects (e-zine Incer, series "Cyborgs", collection "PEREMOGA. Victory for Ukraine"). Important and promising for further implementation is the unique ability of comics to graphically reproduce tragic events, "to witness trauma" (G. Chut), and most importantly - to try to overcome it. This is the relevance of documentary comics for the modern Ukrainian present.

Full textAbstract:
The aim. Through the context of formation of the principles of cognitive narratology, the article makes an attempt at a (new) (re)reading of separate works by Vasyl Stefanyk as a leading representative of the literary canon, of the literary classic, being the center of the latest paradigmatics of humanitarian sense creation. Such an angle of view on the writer’s novella heritage is completely actualized, as it is based on the tasks of cognitive narratology.
The research methods. The article employs a narratological, psychoanalytical and biographical methods of studying Vasyl Stefanyk’s creative work, the grounds of reader-response criticism, dominant markers of the writer’s novella poetics, particularly those directly connected with with storytelling forms of the account of the created fictional material by him.
The research results. The analysis of separate poetical devices, frequently used by Vasyl Stefanyk in his novellas, gave an opportunity to reveal in them the regularities of unfolding a cognitive chain where threading questions with a subseqent outline of the horizon of answers is in agreement with the author’s search for universal narratives in his novellas. It is proved that Vasyl Stefanyk’s fictional world can be understood, in addition to other approaches, in the prism of combined narrative and cognitive strategies of presentation and reception.
The scientific novelty lies in the fact that in the proposed research Vasyl Stefanyk’s literary-fictional heritage is examined through the prism of cognitive narratology in such a systematic and complex way, as a matter of fact, for the first time, that it has become one of rather effective ways of rereading the Ukrainian literary classic. Simultaneously, the article shapes new questions and attempts (also for the first time) at finding new, different, sometimes inconspicuous answers in the writer’s novella poetics that are extremely important and essential for cognizing the human psyche of Vasyl Stefanyk’s prose heroes, finally, for understanding intellectual-emotional vicissitudes that inevitably accompany the reading of his works.
The practical significance. The obtained research results may be used for delivering courses of Ukrainian literature at educational establishments, for studying the creative works by Vasyl Stefanyk, whose fictional world is shown in the prism of amalgamation of narrative and cognitive strategies of presentation and reception, for researching modern ways of prosewriting in Ukrainian classic literature.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this article is to analyze the mechanisms of realization of the concept of “freedom” in the Ukrainian diaspora prose. The object of the study is the literary texts by I. Bahrianyi, V. Bender, I. Kachurovskyi, Yu. Kosach, I. Kostetskyi, S. Liubomyrskyi, M. Prykhodko, I. Smoliy, and S. Fedorivskyi. Contextual analysis, descriptive, historical and literary, and biographical methods were used to achieve the goal. The article’s relevance is due to the need to comprehend the problem of freedom during the Russian-Ukrainian war, which prompts a new reading of the diaspora’s literary texts, which in many ways proved to be prophetic and instructive. The experience of colonial Ukraine during the liberation struggle and the Second World War provides an opportunity to better understand current military events and the tactics of the occupiers. The novelty of the work lies in the fact that the concept of “freedom” is studied in depth in the works of prose by diaspora writers. The analysis includes little-known texts by diaspora authors. The results of the study have shown that the analyzed concept is realized in the texts of the Ukrainian diaspora on the issues of existential and national freedom, which aroused the interest of both Ukrainian and foreign readers. The concept of “freedom” is presented both in fiction and in critical and journalistic discourse. In prose texts, this concept is realized at different levels of the text: at the level of problematics, figurative system, and textual strategies. The author emphasizes that for diaspora writers, personal freedom was inseparable from national freedom, so a recurring theme is the national liberation struggle, the discourse of which shapes the understanding of freedom as a necessary value. The results of the research can be used in the study of Ukrainian diaspora literature. The next stage in the realization of this topic will be the study of the concept of personal “freedom” in the works of the younger generation of the diaspora, in particular, members of the New York group.
