Mr. Neskoromnyi, a former SBU colonel, allegedly plotted the assassination with currently serving Col. Yuriy Rasiuk of the SBU’s Alpha anti-terrorist unit. The alleged target was 38-year-old Brig.

The paper suggests a twofold imagological1 analysis in order to answer how the second generation of Ukrainian immigrants in Great Britain (children of the post-WWII political migration) perceives, the Ukrainian newcomer, the economic immigrant from a post-communist state, who looks strange and other for them and how the reader, in his turn, perceives the Ukrainianness of the first and the second. It also underlines that Marina Lewycka infuses the Ukrainian history (past and modern) with a unique sense of humour based on cultural varieties. Her English-Ukrainian and Ukrainian-English characters are observed from different perspectives. Key words: imagological analysis, Ukrainian migration in Great Britain, Ukrainian history, post- communism, assimilation In her first published book, with an ironically attractive title, A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian (2005)2 Marina Lewycka (1946 -) created a female type of Lucky Jim in the new European realities: a dexterous, blazingly beautiful, smart, impudent and vulgar divorcee from a poor country who makes plans for 1 On imagology, auto-images and hetero-images see: Imagology: The Cultural Construction and Literary Representation of National Characters: a Critical Survey, ed. by Manfred Beller, Joseph Theodoor Leerssen, Amsterdam, New York: Rodopi 2007, pp.

  • Literary History Conceptions of B
    Journal of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University 92 Stepan Khorob http://jpnu.pu.if.ua Vol. 6, No. 2 (2019), 92-98 UDC 82(091):821.161.2 doi: 10.15330/jpnu.6.2.92-98 LITERARY HISTORY CONCEPTIONS OF B. LEPKY STEPAN KHOROB Abstract: The article addresses the issue of the methodological conceptualism developed by Ukrainian literary historian Bohdan Lepky. The analysis proves that his textbook Nacherk istorii ukrainskoi literatury (An Essay on the History of Ukrainian Literature) retains its literary value and its place among the textbooks and study guides published in the first half of the 20th century. Keywords: B. Lepky, national writings, methodology, conceptions, history of Ukrainian literature. It appears that until recently, only literary critics have been able to discuss the activity of Bohdan Lepky as a historian of Ukrainian national literature. And it does not look as if it had been their main scientific interest (see the literary critical essays of Zenon Kuzela, Vasyl Simovych, Mykola Ilnytskyi, Roman Hromiak, Volodymyr Kachkan; and the general critical reviews of Mykola Yevshan, Bohdan Romanenchuk, Marian Kozak, Mykhailo Naienko, Oleksa Myshanych). The scholars who studied Bohdan Lepky’s literary-historical legacy often made references to the works of Ivan Franko, Dmytro Chyzhevsky, Mykhailo Vozniak, Yevhen Pelenskyi; the latter discussed, in one way or another, the factor of methodological conceptualism in the history of Ukrainian literature. Yet the methodological conceptions of Bohdan Lepky as a historian of Ukrainian literature have not been studied comprehensively. Now, in the light of researches carried out by national literary critics and diaspora scholars (Serhiy Yefremov, Mykola Zerov, Pavlo Fylypovych, Dmytro Chyzhevsky, Leonid Biletsky, Mykola Hnatyshak, Yevhen Pelenskyi, Marian Jakóbiec), the importance of this aspect of Bohdan Lepky’s activity has become evident; it is clear that the study of his methodological instruments requires a new approach.

Mit diesem Band legen wir den Großteil der auf der Konferenz gehaltenen und diskutier- ten Vorträge in schriftlicher und somit überarbeiteter Form vor und hoffen, damit nicht nur eine angemessene Dokumentation derselben vorzulegen, sondern v. a. wichtige Denkanstöße zur weiteren Vertiefung dieses vielschichtigen Themas zwischen »interner« Darüber hinaus … Zuschreibung und »externem« Herauslesen zu geben.
