    Rethinking the Postwar Era: Soviet Ukrainian Writers Under Late Stalinism, 1945-1949 by Iuliia Kysla A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta © Iuliia Kysla, 2018 Abstract This dissertation advances the study of late Stalinism, which has until recently been regarded as a bizarre appendage to Stalin’s rule, and aims to answer the question of whether late Stalinism was a rupture with or continuation of its prewar precursor. I analyze the reintegration of Ukrainian writers into the postwar Soviet polity and their adaptation to the new realities following the dramatic upheavals of war. Focusing on two parallel case studies, Lviv and Kyiv, this study explores how the Soviet regime worked with members of the intelligentsia in these two cities after 1945, at a time when both sides were engaged in “identification games.” This dissertation demonstrates that, despite the regime’s obsession with control, there was some room for independent action on the part of Ukrainian writers and other intellectuals. Authors exploited gaps in Soviet discourse to reclaim agency, which they used as a vehicle to promote their own cultural agendas. Unlike the 1930s, when all official writers had to internalize the tropes of Soviet culture, in the postwar years there was some flexibility in an author’s ability to accept or reject the Soviet system. Moreover, this dissertation suggests that Stalin’s postwar cultural policy—unlike the strategies of the 1930s, which relied predominantly on coercive tactics—was defined mainly by discipline by humiliation, which often involved bullying and threatening members of the creative intelligentsia.

  • Ukrainian Hamlet and «Hamletizing» Ukraine: «Will You Play Upon This Pipe?»
    ІІ. Рецепція художньої спадщини Ренесансу в культурі наступних епох УДК: 821.111:821.161.2’42 Torkut Nataliya, Cherniak Yurii (Zaporizhzhia) Ukrainian Hamlet and «hamletizing» Ukraine: «Will you play upon this pipe?» Торкут Наталія, Черняк Юрій. Український Гамлет і «гамлетизуюча» Україна: «Може б, ви заграли на цю флейту?» Стаття присвячена аналізу специфіки актуалізації аксіо- логічного потенціалу Шекспірового «Гамлета» в українській поезії 1930-х – 1970-х років. Розглядаючи Шекспіра як засновника дискурсив- ності, автори демонструють потужність резонансу, спричиненого образом Гамлета в соціокультурному контексті радянської України. В умовах посилення тоталітарних тенденцій проблема гамлетівських вагань стала епіцентром протиборства двох антагоністичних світоглядних моделей. Перша, представлена поемою М. Бажана «Смерть Гамлета», вибудовувалася на апологетиці комуністичної ідеології і репрезентувала Принца Датського як здеградовану особистість, заглиблену в безплідні розмисли. Приписування герою Шекспіра чужих для нього ідей і рис призводило до деконструкції смислового ядра образу та деформації ціннісної семантики великої трагедії. Друга модель, що втілилася у поезіях М. Рильського, Є. Плужника, Л. Первомайського, С. Голованівського, З. Красівського та В. Стуса, співвідносила гамлетівську ситуацію зі станом граничного буття, кризою ідентичності, екзистенційним відчаєм. При цьому Гамлет зберігав високий моральний статус, асоціюючись з рефлективністю як способом подолання зневіри, зі здатністю до самопожертв та спроможністю протистояти

    2017 ESRA Congress programme Shakespeare and European Theatrical Cultures: AnAtomizing Text and Stage 27 – 30 July 2017 Organisers: University of Gdańsk and Gdańsk Shakespeare Theatre I. PLENARY SPEAKERS 1. Peter Holland University of Notre Dame, USA "Forgetting Shakespeare Performance" This paper will range widely across the topic of Shakespeare and forgetting before concentrating on the ease with which performance is forgotten. Peter Holland is McMeel Family Professor in Shakespeare Studies in the Department of Film, Television and Theatre, and Associate Dean for the Arts at the University of Notre Dame. He moved there in 2002 from the UK where he was Director of the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon. He is co-General Editor for a number of series, including Oxford Shakespeare Topics (Oxford University Press), Shakespeare in the Theatre (Arden Shakespeare), Great Shakespearean (Bloomsbury Academic) and the Arden Shakespeare 4th series. He is Editor of Shakespeare Survey. He was elected Chair of the International Shakespeare Association in 2017. He is currently editing King Lear for Arden 4 and writing a book on Shakespeare and Forgetting. 2. Diana E. Henderson Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA "Hard Hearts and Coronets: Anatomizing Resistance and Community with Shakespeare Now" After a year of Shakespearean commemorative celebrations, “the fierce urgency of now” has intruded upon scholarly pursuits and theatrical events in more incongruous ways. In the US, making Shakespeare our contemporary has led to death threats directed at that (seemingly) most benign of theatrical subgenres, the outdoor summer festival. In Europe, the uncertainty unleashed by the Brexit referendum challenges border crossings and collaborations, while the core issues of violence and inequity that have prompted mass migrations grow ever more grotesque; at the same time, remarkable performances and conferences provide precious, fragile occasions for considering what boundary-crossing Shakespeares can do.

Totalitarianism created the phenomenon of mass martyrdom with a drive to suppress the memory of the witness, to prevent the act of witnessing. While this half-century, from the mid-1930s to the mid-1980s, was characterized by social and cultural amnesia, there were Ukrainian writers who attempted to bring about some dissident bonds of mnemonic solidarity. They addressed those in the know – their own generation, who witnessed, struggled through and still remember the famine and collectivization of suffering, though escaped own recollection in fear and silence. Writing under censorship (including self-censorship) and under impact of trauma these writers posed painful and sensitive questions attempting to speak up for the dead in the form of generational autobiography. Keywords: Holodomor, generation, memory work, literary responses to trauma Karl Mannheim, the author of a theory of generations, suggested a century ago in his essay «The Problem of Generations» (1923) that temporary and historical affi nity may not be enough for the next generation to emerge.
