In view of the European integration policy of the Ukrainian State, more and more attention is paid to the methods of cultural imperialism, imagology, comparative studies, Occidental philosophy, etc., which we used in this text. In our study, considerable attention is also paid to the influence of Western culture and politics on the formation of the national idea of the Ukrainian nation – the formation of the Ukrainian Conciliar Independent State. We learned that a significant role in the development of the ethnopsychological charisma of the Hutsuls was played by Ukrainians from exile, who during the interwar period inhabited Czechoslovakia, Poland, France and the United States, and with the beginning of events began to return home. The novel-report «Sun from the West» (1949) provides invaluable material on the basis of which we can trace in a clear chronological sequence the change of worldview paradigm of Ukrainians from silent observers to active, fully conscious citizens who set the task of forming a political nation. its integration into the Western world. Nevertheless, Ulas Samchuk draws the reader's attention to the fact that the Ukrainian people have not yet been able to become a nation, given the events in Carpathian Ukraine. He lacked the will to fight, national dignity and self-awareness, education, spirituality and culture. That is why many European grandees did not seriously assess the ambitions of the young Ukrainian state to claim independence and did not allow the Ukrainian Government to defend its positions on an equal footing. The main reason for such a political crisis was, in fact, the lack of a well-supplied army that could protect its borders. Further research should be devoted to the memoirs and diaries of Ulas Samchuk, in which he continues to reflect on the place and role of Ukraine in building a new world order in the context of the conflict of Western and Eastern civilizations.","PeriodicalId":120787,"journal":{"name":"LITERARY PROCESS: methodology, names, trends","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121763084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The writer was found to have resorted to a set of literary means and techniques that had previously proven effective in baring his views on the issues of the time. These include various types of stylistic repetition, antithesis, and irony as a way of criticizing ideological differences. A renewed emphasis is placed on the relevance of the colour blue in the writer’s works as one of the means of creating a stylistic contrast between the explicit context and the overtones that lie beneath it. The texts under study centre on the fate of the new Soviet man, diligent, industrious, and submissive, capable of a personal life but doomed to failure because of certain irrevocable obligations. The writer exemplifies the existential dilemmas his characters face by reinforcing the ironic aspects of the discourse. Narratological and architectonic features of the stories have been studied. The various types of chronotope have been distinguished – the everyday life, the socio-historical, and the road chronotope. The holistic view on the problem under study is due to a combination of cultural-historical, semantic-stylistic, comparative-typological, and descriptive-analytical methods. The findings are to prove useful to all those involved in: the study of the Ukrainian writer’s signature world-view; the issue of personality both in Khvylovyi’s fiction and some Ukrainian prose writers of the 20-30s of the twentieth century; the analysis of the Ukrainian literature of the first half of the twentieth century development; the studies on the perception of Khvylovyi’s works by literary critics and scholars; for experts in artistic anthropology and narratological analysis of Khvylovyi’s written works. It will also be relevant in pursuing the studies of both the writer’s late fiction and his mature pieces of work; studying the texts of the latter phase with regard to intertextual interaction (for instance, the short story The Inspector-General, 1929).","PeriodicalId":120787,"journal":{"name":"LITERARY PROCESS: methodology, names, trends","volume":"21 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126217666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their correlation was also established. The relevance of scientific research is due to the growing interest of scholars in interdisciplinary studies. They provide an opportunity to reconsider existing knowledge in various disciplines, including literary, by establishing correlations with related concepts and phenomena. It helps scientists to look at the problems from a different perspective and expand the horizons of their exploration in new areas. The method of synthesis and literary modeling was used to achieve the aim. In the course of the research a model of the literary process was presented; the links between the author / author’s image and other participants, where they were evident, were outlined; a definition of \"writer's personal brand\" was proposed; the difference between the meanings of \"author's image\" and \"writer's brand\" was highlighted and their correlation was established. During the research of scientific papers on publishing and advertising in this field, it became clear that researchers took the book as the object of promotion, avoiding the opportunity to foster the author. The common ground between the author's image and the writer's brand was established in the course of scientific research. Among them, there is the writer, as one who produces the author’s image in the works. With their help, he partially creates a personal brand. The development of the image and the brand is aimed primarily at the reader. However, their decoding depends not only on the intention of the writer but also on the experience of the recipient. Considering the results, we see prospects in further study of the author’s image and the writer’s personal brand on the material of specific figures. This will help to understand how the interaction of both concepts is put into practice and how the reader can be influenced to increase the author's popularity and become an expert in a particular field.","PeriodicalId":120787,"journal":{"name":"LITERARY PROCESS: methodology, names, trends","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129947727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the point of view of the development of the phenomenon of Ukrainian antiquity, during this period we observe an intensified elaboration of cosmological, existential and aesthetic motives as a meta-language which aimed at constructing of the contraversional images of the new sacralized world, its characteristics and perspectives. The modernist discourse focuses mainly on the triad of «humanism — nationalism — Europeanism». Ideologemes of modernist poets associate with aesthetization, a dominant feature of their program, and revolve around the problem of “the artist (Orpheus, Cassandra, etc.), who lives during the Iron Age”. Neoclassicists and symbolists redirect in their poetry the motif of fatum into a motif of fatum of a totalitarian state, and change the traditional interpretation of the Prometheus-Tyranborian into an image of the degraded Prometheus. Instead, futurists and neo-romantics prefer the mytho-motive (later used by the socialist-realist discourse as well) of modernity as the battle of the Titans, in which Prometheus becomes the epitome of the rebellious proletariat. The social-realist discourse, while formally distancing itself from the world artistic tradition, implicitly reciprocates it, turning the precedent motives and images into ideologemes; e.g., the motif of titanomachy to characterize the present; new leaders of the state are subconsciously perceived as new Olympians who has conquered the chaos and are build a new Cosmos. In this case, the myth of the Iron Age is interpreted in a positive sense; the image of the enemy — the hydra of counter-revolution — «nourishes» the justification of repression. Accordingly, they cultivate the «hero of the day», the uncompromising Prometheus-Tyranborian or Spartacus, or create a collective image of the «leader of the revolution» as a transformation of the centaur. Thus, antique mythology, reinterpreted in the context of ideological and aesthetic programs of different discourses of Ukrainian literature in the 1920s and 1930s, becomes the basis of different variants of mytho-ideology.","PeriodicalId":120787,"journal":{"name":"LITERARY PROCESS: methodology, names, trends","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123014721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the investigation is to analyze the impact of the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917–1921 and the Second World War on the writer's plays. This goal involves the performance of such tasks as the comparison of Yanovsky's biography and dramaturgical works, analysis of draft materials for plays, and consideration of final editions of works. The tasks set require the involvement of not only methods of philological analysis, but also textual criticism and source criticism methodology. Yanovsky's dramaturgy can be divided into pre-war and post-war. In the pre-war plays, which include \"The Conquerors\", \"Duma about Britanka\" and \"Descendants\", there is a clear influence of the revolution of 1917–1921. \" Duma about Britanka\" directly shows the revolutionary events, for the depiction of which Yanovsky turned to periodicals and communicated with eyewitnesses. In the other two plays, there are frequent references to the revolutionary past from various characters. The Second World War clearly influenced the development of two post-war plays, \"Son of the Dynasty\" and \"The Prosecutor's Daughter\". Yanovsky planned the first play with civilian issues, but revised it, showing how the characters face the realities of war. The writer changed the text of \"Prosecutor's Daughter\" several times. In the pre-war version, some characters mentioned their revolutionary past, but in the post-war versions, this changed to mentions of wartime. In the first post-war edition, the impact of the war on the lives of the characters was more pronounced, but in the second, the writer reduced it, in particular by removing the antagonism between the former front-line soldier and the fascist regime's guide. It can also be assumed that it was his own experience related to the war that made Yanovsky sensitive to this topic and prompted him to write the play \"Paradise Camp\" inspired by just one newspaper note. War and revolution had a powerful influence on the writer's dramaturgy, both as realities reflected in the text and, in the case of war, as a factor that prompted Yanovsky to make the current changes to the plays.","PeriodicalId":120787,"journal":{"name":"LITERARY PROCESS: methodology, names, trends","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124584870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
