Autobiographical Markers in Halyna Pahutiak’s Mythopoetics
No full textThe purpose of this research is to identify autobiographical markers in H. Pahutiak’s mythopoetics on image and motif levels and characterize the specific character of mythologizing her spiritual-biographical experience. The paper looks at the peculiarities of literary interpretation of the actual events, toposes and persons related to the writer’s neomyth. The author’s essays are used for finding out mythogenic sources of her fiction and discovering the autobiographically marked material, interpreted in the literary prose. The paper analyzes the assimilation of the narrator and the author images characteristic of many H. Pahutiak’s works, which results in the similarity of some philosophical stories to essays on the genre level. It describes the interaction of autobiographical and mythical components in the semantics of the recurring images in the writer’s neomyth: the stone, the river, the road, the black bird, The Girl with yellow hair. The article focuses on the autobiographical marker in the correlation of the female characters with the mythologem of the setting sun. It reveals the interaction of the spiritual-autobiographical and philosophical-mythological intertexts in the “small novel” “The joyous desert”. The paper traces connections of the mythosemantics of the name Lada with the facts of H. Pahutiak’s biography and the motif of the lost harmony, which is considered one of the major motifs in the writer’s neomythological prose. The paper focuses on the strategies of cosmization, mystification and personification of the “private topography” in the writer’s fiction as well as in her essays. It looks at the peculiarities of the readers’ reception of the hypermythologized image of Urizh. The article considers the contamination of autobiographical and mythological elements to be a characteristic feature of H. Pahutiak’s idiostyle. The prospects of further research in this direction lie in defining the role of the autobiographical intertext in H. Pahutiak’s neomyth, in studying the strategies of myhologizing the author’s spiritual experience in her new works
An American woman through the prism of the epithet: semasiological aspect in creating images
No full textAbstract
The paper describes the use of epithets in creating female images in American folk songs. The results of the stylistic analysis show how different types of epithets intensify female images and testify to the connection between semantics and culture. Multifunctionality of the epithet tends to be of paramount importance in creating and interpreting images and backgrounds to them in folk song texts. This synergy provides valuable and handy clues, which help understand the evolution of a woman in America.</jats:p
The rear region in wartime Ukraine – language policy and the language situation in Transcarpathia
No full textThe article highlights the peculiarities of the linguistic and political situation in Zakarpattia as a rear border region of Ukraine during the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Attention is drawn to the fact of acute challenges and, at the same time, new opportunities
for the country as a whole and for each of its regions in particular, especially for the state
language policy and institutions involved in its implementation. Examples of successful
implementation of projects in the field of language policy are given, including the adoption
of regional programs for the establishment and development of the Ukrainian language as
the state language and other initiatives. The author emphasizes the change in the language
situation in the region due to the active emigration of local residents of Transcarpathia,
in particular from among the representatives of national minorities, while the population
is replenished by internal migrants. The main reasons for this situation are, on the one
hand, the low level of socio-economic development of the region in the pre-war period,
and on the other hand, the security factor associated with the war in Ukraine. It is noted
that the language issue in the region continues to be used for manipulative purposes.
This is evidenced by the monitoring of all-Ukrainian and regional media content during the
war and the analysis of language biographies concluded with representatives of national
minorities in Zakarpattia during 2021–2023 as part of the international research project
“Debates on Linguistic Diversity - Managing Minority Languages in Post-Soviet Ukraine”.
Important conditions for the return of Ukrainian citizens after the war are the
adoption of a law on multiple citizenship in Ukraine, as well as the creation of conditions in
the region for the proper mastery of Ukrainian as the state language and the coordination of
efforts by government officials and NGOs to study the current needs of ethnic communities
and develop a work plan for the implementation of the necessary programs and activities
When phonetics matters: creation and perception of female images in song folklore
No full textAbstract
This paper presents a stylistic analysis of female images in American song folklore in order to examine how sound symbolic language elements contribute to the construction of verbal images. The results obtained show the link between sound and meaning and how such phonetic means of stylistics as assonance, alliteration, and onomatopoeia function to reinforce the meanings of words or to set the mood typical of the characters. Their synergy helps create and interpret female images and provides relevant atmosphere and background to them in folk song texts.</jats:p

Abstract
The article highlights the features of ideological influence on women in the western regions of the Ukrainian SSR in the first postwar years. It was established that ideological work among women had its own structure, a number of activities and employees of the «ideological front». The quantitative and qualitative composition of agitators was found out, which was often characterized by low level of education, lack of professional experience, elementary culture of behavior. Political distrust of the locals prompted the authorities to enlist the support of immigrant women, mostly from the eastern regions of the Ukrainian SSR and the USSR.
The main forms and methods of ideological work are characterized, among which it is necessary to single out verbal means of influence – conversations, seminars, lectures. In addition, women were involved in meetings and gatherings of various levels, were participants in clubs and conferences. Means of visual propaganda became widespread.
It is investigated that women's worldview was formed under the influence of generally accepted social roles, ways of thinking and patterns of behavior. This practice was to form a myth about the advantages of the Soviet way of life, to impose the image of a «new Soviet woman».
Key words: women’s councils; agitation and propaganda events; agitators; women delegates; first post-war years

Автобіографічний роман Галини Тарасюк у діалозі з філософією екзистенції
No full textThe paper considers novels “Between Hell and Paradise” and “Sister of My Solitude” by Halyna Tarasiuk with a focus on their autobiographical character and in the light of the philosophical ideas of existentialism. The emphasis is made on the fact that the content of the novels is human being in all its manifestations – historical, existential, religious, metaphysical. Existential discourse is closely intertwined here with the concept of ‘blocking’ the artist in society. Features of the writer’s philosophical reflections are traced in connection with the social and political events at the turn of the 20th – 21st centuries and existential guidelines of the modern literature. It has been indicated that the existential direction of the novels by H. Tarasiuk finds itself in inner need of the author to design pages of her own biography for the manifestations of the national existence.
The research focuses on the historiosophical and culturosophical foundations of the artistic consciousness of the writer. It is noted that the concepts of choice, authenticity of being, loneliness, suicide, absurdity, boundary situation, love, transcendence, suffering and death are presented as central in the philosophical discourse of her novels. It is established that the whole complex of philosophical problems is solved by the writer in the oppositions ‘artist/ruler’, ‘talent/botcher’, ‘person/crowd’, etc. As a result of the research, it is proved that an in-depth understanding of the text is possible under condition of both reading it in the context of existence of the writer herself and taking into account the concepts of the Christian philosophy of existence. Such an approach provides for identification of the author’s conceptual views on the Ukrainian realities at the turn of the 20th – 21st centuries.Стаття присвячена аналізу романів Галини Тарасюк “Між пеклом і раєм”, “Сестра моєї самотності” з погляду проблеми автобіографічності та крізь призму ідей філософії екзистенціалізму. Зроблена спроба довести, що поглиблене розуміння тексту твору можливе за умови його прочитання як у контексті екзистенції самої письменниці, так і в контексті понять християнської філософії екзистенції. Такий підхід забезпечує виявлення концептуальних поглядів авторки на українські реалії перетину ХХ – ХХІ ст
