AUTHOR'S LANDMARKS AND MECHANISMS OF INSCRIPTION INTO THE NORMATIVE DISCOURSE (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF THE CREATIVITY OF KOSTY GORDIENKA)

Abstract

The scientific research examines the issue of author’s guidelines and mechanisms of inclusion in the normative discourse on the example of Kostya Gordienko’s work. The critique and the theory of literature determining the logic of constructing social realism and substantiating the specifics of social-realistic myth-making and representing the problems of the domestic literary and artistic process of the 20-80s of the twentieth century have been actualized in the work. The schematic ways of reproducing the world in stories and novels «about the commune» are characterized by the imitation / stylization of political demands imposed by party criticism. Attention is drawn to the fact that the social-realistic myth-making element in K. Gordienko’s prose of the «mature Stalinism» period was combined with sporadic attempts to express concealed feelings and experiences Ukrainian village’s events in the period of dekulakization and collectivization. Features of the author’s modeling of the Second World War’s events in small epic genres have been determined. In particular, it has been found that the stories and essays give an understanding of the experiences, the emotional turmoil of the characters much more than reflecting the events of the war. It has been found that the horizons of the writer’s critical thinking resonate with current problems of Ukrainian literature and artistic creativity. The movement of the author’s thoughts revolves around the issues of the language culture, its stylistic and intonational resources, the imaginative system of folk thinking and so on. Fiction memoirs relate to memories of the 1920s literary process, the influence of the literary environment on creative growth. Despite the presence of stereotypical approaches and ideological algorithms for the depiction of reality, the works present the creative atmosphere of the Ukrainian literary life of the 1920s.
