Abstract

Slobidska Ukraine is an area of late settlement, the folklore of which had been formed for over three centuries under the influence of various socio-historical factors. A significant role in the preservation of ethno-cultural information was played by the mechanism of intergenerational diachronic communication, which reproduced the genres of the entire folklore scope. The dynamic 20th century made its adjustments to the existence of tradition, as the destruction of monocentric rural institutions affected the ways of functioning of the authentic folklore, destruction of certain genres and rituals, their transition from the active form to passive, and further into an artificial plane of life. Our purpose was to mark, which links of the once powerful chain of “civil culture” had been damaged. what exactly caused these damages, and how in this closed system of the rural environment, where there was an awareness of meanings that were equally understood and appreciated by society, the line of misunderstanding and oblivion started to appear. Recollections of elderly people who were witnesses of social changes in Kharkiv Region in 1920–50, as well as documentary data were used as the material for the analysis. Modern functional methods – the development of sociological questionnaires, the involvement of the materials from our own field research – allowed us to create a factual basis for the research and determined the scientific novelty. The evidence of the oldest generation of traditions carriers showed the shocking consequences of the artificial transformation of the society in the 1920–30s, which included not only the destruction of folklore as a type of culture within a holistic social awareness, but also the intruding of a new socio-cultural conglomerate of “parallel culture” of club institutions, which was broadcast not diachronically, horizontally, as is customary in the oral tradition, but imperativelyhierarchically, i.e. vertically, according to the directives from the “above”. In the rural environment, a situation of shaky balancing between “traditional” and “pseudo-folklore” culture arose, not in favor of the first. Thus, the communicative functions, due to which the society’s objective perception of traditional meanings and its self-regulation were possible, was destroyed, and folklore became a field where various political forces were constructing new cultural meanings to the detriment of the traditional. In the conditions of the gradual disappearance of the music of the authentic tradition, with the aim of same understanding and appreciation within the community of its inherent cultural meanings, the communicative discourse can become a regulator and a corrective factor.
代际历时联系:乌克兰斯洛比德斯卡民俗传统中的交际话语
乌克兰斯洛比德斯卡是一个后期定居的地区,在各种社会历史因素的影响下,其民间传说已经形成了三个多世纪。代际历时传播机制对民族文化信息的保存起着重要作用,它再现了整个民俗范围的类型。动态的20世纪对传统的存在进行了调整,单一中心的农村制度的破坏影响了真实民间传说的运作方式,某些类型和仪式的破坏,它们从主动形式向被动形式过渡,并进一步进入人为的生活层面。我们的目的是要指出,曾经强大的“公民文化”链条中的哪些环节已经受损。究竟是什么造成了这些损害,在这种封闭的农村环境中,人们意识到社会同样理解和欣赏的意义,误解和遗忘的界限是如何开始出现的。1920 - 1950年见证哈尔科夫地区社会变化的老年人的回忆以及文献资料被用作分析的材料。现代功能方法-社会学问卷的发展,我们自己的实地研究材料的参与-使我们能够为研究创造事实基础,并确定科学的新颖性。最古老的一代传统载体的证据显示了20世纪20年代至30年代人为社会转型的令人震惊的后果,这不仅包括作为一种整体社会意识中的文化类型的民间传说的破坏,而且还包括俱乐部机构的“平行文化”的新社会文化集团的入侵,这种文化不是像口头传统中习惯的那样历时性地、水平地传播,而是必须等级地传播。即垂直方向,根据“上面”的指令。在乡村环境中,“传统”文化与“伪民俗”文化之间的平衡出现了不稳定的局面,不支持前者。由此,社会对传统意义的客观认知和自我调节的交际功能被破坏,民俗成为各种政治力量建构新的文化意义、损害传统的场域。在音乐的正宗传统逐渐消失的条件下,以共同体内部对其固有文化意义的相同理解和欣赏为目的,交际话语可以成为一种调节和纠正因素。
