Ponomareva Kiev, Leopoli e Donec’k nel discorso politologico moderno: alcuni aspetti del regionalismo ucraino 227 Abstracts 237 Prefazione Giovanna Brogi Bercoff (Università di Milano) Da quando ho cominciato ad occuparmi dell’Ucraina sono stata affascina- ta ed incuriosita dalla sorprendente capacità di Kiev non solo di accogliere ed elaborare le idee e gli apporti culturali più diversi sia in senso diacronico (dalla tradizione varjaga a quella slava ecclesiastica, da quella rinascimentale e baroc- ca polacca – ed europea – e fi no a quella del modernismo e delle varie correnti del secolo XX, derivanti sia dalla letteratura occidentale che da quella russa), sia in senso diatopico, assimilando al suo “testo culturale” le persone di origine, religione e formazione più diversa. Per restare nell’ambito cronologico e cultu- rale a me più familiare mi limito a ricordare tre “personaggi chiave” dello strato più elevato della cultura ucraina del Seicento: Petro Mohyla, Innokentyj Gizel’ e Stefan Javors’kyj – ortodosso di casa principesca moldava il primo, tedesco luterano il secondo, ucraino originario della sponda destra del Dniprò, infl uen- zato fi no al midollo dall’aspetto più “controriformistico” della cultura polacca e cattolica europea, il terzo. Questi tre personaggi, di origine e formazione così diversa (sia etnica sia culturale), hanno attraversato dall’inizio alla fi ne il secolo più drammaticamente movimentato e ricco di cambiamenti della storia ucrai- na, riuscendo a contribuire nel modo più coerente ed armonico alla creazione di quel sistema di categorie logiche, di principi giuridici e di autopercezione identitaria che hanno permesso lo sviluppo posteriore di un’Ucraina unitaria e – sostanzialmente – europea. Mi si permetta di sottolineare ancora come questi tre personaggi, di origine profondamente diversa, abbiano creato il patrimonio fondamentale della nuova Ucraina moderna esprimendosi – nel cuore culturale di Kiev – con un linguaggio unico, internamente coeso e sostanzialmente ori- ginale. Come sempre nella cultura ucraina, tutto viene da “fuori” eppure tutto è sostanzialmente “nuovo”. La medaglia della capacità assimilatrice di Kiev ha, come sempre, il suo rovescio, ossia: la straordinaria capacità degli ucraini di interagire (spesso fi no all’assimilazione) con le culture esterne. È una qualità ovviamente positiva in se stessa, ma presenta dei pericoli evidenti. Lo dimostra la diffi coltà dell’Ucraina indipendente di autodefi nirsi ed affermarsi nel mondo di oggi, fra inattese fughe in avanti che destano improvvise meraviglie e pantani d’immobilismo o di no- stalgie (patriarcali o feudali, neosovietiche o neopagane, e altre se ne potrebbero aggiungere – del resto non specifi che dell’Ucraina, ma di tutto il mondo post-so- vietico e post-comunista) che gettano nello sconforto qualsiasi mente che ragio- ni con le categorie razionali dell’Europa romano-germanica-anglosassone. 8 Giovanna Brogi Bercoff Pensando al “testo kieviano” mi è sembrato inevitabile prendere in conside- razione anche l’altro “testo emblematico” dell’identità ucraina, quello di Leo- poli, non meno composito (anzi, forse di più) di quello kieviano: esso è però, forse, meno amalgamato, meno coeso, meno “sistemico”; ed è probabilmente per questo che Kiev è stata il centro populsore dell’Ucraina nei momenti più im- portanti e critici della sua storia, e si manifesta sempre più come la vera capitale, dinamica e vitale, del paese. Pur essendo io assolutamente convinta dell’unità inscindibile della cultura ucraina nelle sue varie forme, resta pur sempre impre- scindibile il principio che, per conoscere se stessi, bisogna conoscere l’Altro. In questo caso, per capire Kiev è indispensabile capire Leopoli. Mi sono sembrate, queste, ragioni suffi cienti per lanciare l’idea di iniziare una rifl essione, appunto, sul “testo culturale” di Kiev e di Leopoli. In realtà la mia idea non era molto originale: è risultato assai presto che ci sono vari studiosi che in America come in Europa ed in Ucraina hanno iniziato a lavorare sistema- ticamente proprio su questo. Tuttavia, gli studi sono per lo più ancora in corso d’opera e ritengo utile, pertanto, avviare il lavoro anche in Italia. D’accordo con i colleghi dell’Associazione Italiana di Studi Ucrainistici, abbiamo quindi organizzato il Convegno dell’Associazione dedicandola al “te- sto culturale” di Kiev e Leopoli. Il Convegno si è svolto a Milano nei giorni 1-2 febbraio 2007, ci è sembrato di riconoscere nei contributi ivi presentati un buon livello ed abbiamo deciso quindi di pubblicarli al più presto. Sono stati invitati ed hanno proposto la loro collaborazione specialisti pro- venienti da aree disciplinari e da profi li culturali molto diversi: storici e letterati, fi lologi e culturologi, storici dell’arte, specialisti di questioni religiose e di altre culture (in particolare l’armenistica e la polonistica). Abbiamo offerto la pos- sibilità di partecipare anche ai più giovani, consci che un’ucrainistica italiana è ancora tutta da costruire. La varietà dei contributi ha pertanto le sue origini non solo nell’ampiezza del tema proposto e nella varietà intrinseca del “testo kieviano” come del “testo leopolitano”, nel loro plurilinguismo e nella diversità di etnie, religioni e confessioni, culture, letterature che vi hanno convissuto per secoli; la varietà dei contributi proviene anche dal carattere volutamente interdi- sciplinare che ci sembrava indispensabile per il tema proposto. Si trovano così in questo volume articoli di profonda specializzazione fi lo- logica, storica e fi losofi co-letteraria (G. Siedina: la cultura classica nella retorica Mohyliana; D. Tollet: le dispute antiebraiche nella Leopoli del XVIII secolo; M.G. Bartolini: il posto di Kiev nella formazione di H. Skovoroda), di illumi- nante rifl essione sui viaggiatori del XIX e XX secolo, che offrono anche inte- ressanti spaccati sulla reciproca appercezione di Ucraina e Russia (O. Toločko, G. Lami), di informazione e rifl essione sulla pittura e l’architettura (Ks. Kostan- tynenko, E. Rybałt). In altri casi è venuta alla luce l’immagine mitica – forse un po’ idealizzata, ma non meno affascinante! – di Leopoli per i polacchi del XIX-XX secolo (B. Myciek), la secolare presenza armena in questa città (A. Ferrari) e alcuni aspetti paradossali delle due città-mito – Vilna e Leopoli – per la coscienza polacca moderna (L. Bernardini). Al mondo ucraino contempora- neo portano alcuni studi sulla letteratura e la cultura del Novecento e il suo ruolo Prefazione 9 nello sviluppo della coscienza civile e nazionale odierna (E. Solovej, T. Hundo- rova, O. Pachlovska, O. Ponomareva). Certamente gli argomenti che sono stati affrontati in questa sede rappresen- tano solo una piccolissima parte dell’amplissimo spettro di questioni e problemi che

The University of Texas at Austin, 2004 Supervisor: Katherine Arens This dissertation tests Benedict Anderson’s thesis about the coherence of imagined communities by tracing how Galicia, as the heart of a Polish culture in the nineteenth century that would never be an independent nation state, emerged as an historical, cultural touchstone with present day significance for the people of Europe. After the three Partitions and Poland’s complete disappearance from political maps of Europe, substitute images of Poland were sought that could replace its lost kingdom with alternate forms of national identity grounded in culture and tradition rather than in politics. Not the hereditary dynasty, not Prussia or Russia, but Galicia emerged as the imagined and representative center of a Polish culture without a state. This dissertation juxtaposes political realities with canonical literary texts that provide images of a cultural community among ethnic Germans and Poles sharing the border of Europe.

The new approaches reject the positivist and orthodox Marxist traditions that regard literature as a mimetic reflection of an underlying "reality," "internalist" histories that isolate the discipline from the surrounding culture, Hegelian, organicist, and teleological generalizations of periods and cultures, reductive national perspectives, and, last but not least, histories dominated by "grand narratives." But if there is a reasonable consensus on the critique of the past, new histories have been slow in coming and controversial when published. Witness the series that the International Comparative Literature Association (ICLA) has been preparing on the history of literature in the European languages, and the French literary history that Denis Hollier and his collaborators have published-both of which we shall discuss later in this paper. The following essay delineates the contours of an ongoing project on the history of the literary cultures in East-Central Europe, which will be published by John Benjamins Press in three volumes.

    Patterns of Cooperation, Collaboration and Betrayal: Jews, Germans and Poles in Occupied Poland During World War II1

    July 2008 Patterns of Cooperation, Collaboration and Betrayal: Jews, Germans and Poles in Occupied Poland during World War II1 Mark Paul Collaboration with the Germans in occupied Poland is a topic that has not been adequately explored by historians.2 Holocaust literature has dwelled almost exclusively on the conduct of Poles toward Jews and has often arrived at sweeping and unjustified conclusions. At the same time, with a few notable exceptions such as Isaiah Trunk3 and Raul Hilberg,4 whose findings confirmed what Hannah Arendt had written about 1 This is a much expanded work in progress which builds on a brief overview that appeared in the collective work The Story of Two Shtetls, Brańsk and Ejszyszki: An Overview of Polish-Jewish Relations in Northeastern Poland during World War II (Toronto and Chicago: The Polish Educational Foundation in North America, 1998), Part Two, 231–40. The examples cited are far from exhaustive and represent only a selection of documentary sources in the author’s possession. 2 Tadeusz Piotrowski has done some pioneering work in this area in his Poland’s Holocaust: Ethnic Strife, Collaboration with Occupying Forces, and Genocide in the Second Republic, 1918–1947 (Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland, 1998). Chapters 3 and 4 of this important study deal with Jewish and Polish collaboration respectively. Piotrowski’s methodology, which looks at the behaviour of the various nationalities inhabiting interwar Poland, rather than focusing on just one of them of the isolation, provides context that is sorely lacking in other works. For an earlier treatment see Richard C. Lukas, The Forgotten Holocaust: The Poles under German Occupation, 1939–1944 (Lexington: The University Press of Kentucky, 1986), chapter 4.

  • Franz Brentano's Influence on Ukrainian Philosophy: A

    Franz Brentano’s Influence on Ukrainian Philosophy: A Methodological Introduction to Research1 Stepan Ivanyk Kazimierz Twardowski Philosophical Society of Lviv Abstract: This article ponders, for the first time, the question of whether Austrian philosopher Franz Brentano (1838-1917) influenced the development of the school of Ukrainian philosophy. It employs Anna Brożek’s methodology to identify philosophers’ influence on one another (distinctions between direct and indirect influence, active and passive contact, etc.); concepts of institutional and ideological conditions of this influence are also considered. The article establishes, first, that many Ukrainian academics had institutional bonds with Brentano’s students, especially Kazimierz Twardowski at the University of Lviv. Second, it identifies an ideological bond between Brentano and his hypothetical Ukrainian “academic grandsons.” Particularly, a comparative analysis of works on the history of philosophy of Brentano and the Ukrainian Ilarion Svientsits'kyi (1876-1956) reveals that the latter took over Brentano’s a posteriori constructive method. These results allow to draw a conclusion about the existence of Ukrainian Brentanism, that not only brings new arguments into the discussion about the tradition of and prospects for the development of analytic (scientific) philosophy on Ukrainian ground, but also opens new aspects of the modernization of Ukrainian society in general (from the end of the nineteenth century to the present day). Keywords: Franz Brentano, Brentanism, Austrian philosophy, Ukrainian philosophy, the Lviv School of Philosophy. I. INTRODUCTION ranz Brentano2 is considered to be the founder of the Austrian F philosophical tradition that emerged and developed to a large extent in 1 This paper is a part of the project number 2015/18/E/HS1/00478, financed by the National Science Centre in Cracow, Poland.

Budapest: Corvina Kiadó, 2014. 308 pp. With his 2008 book Hétköznapi élet Mátyás király korában [Everyday life in the time of King Mátyás], Péter E. Kovács won himself the title of the “new Antal Szerb,” a moniker on which he is clearly playing a bit in the book under review. This play is a two-sided coin. Szerb’s style, which was aimed at an audience of lay readers (I am thinking perhaps first and foremost of his A világirodalom története [The history of world literature], [1941]), was indeed more accessible to wide readership than most traditional scholarly literary histories. However, it did not win the admiration of most of the scholarly community precisely because of the subjectivity of Szerb’s assessments and the many humorous but misleading pronouncements, such as his whimsical remark, “Klió nem kilóra mér,” which might be translated into English as “Clio does not measure by the kilo.” Furthermore, E. Kovács also seems to aspire to don Szerb’s laurels as a belle-lettrist, an ambition palpable both in his style and his literary allusions, as I explain below. The book examines the 288 days that King Sigismund of Luxemburg spent in Siena between July 1432 and April 1433. E. Kovács draws on a wide, almost unparalleled array of source materials and offers daring theories, and he always keeps historical authenticity (credibility) in the foreground, taking care to name his sources specifically and precisely.

Most Poles and Ukrainians saw Soviet policy as a direct assault on their nationhood. Despite the suffering of Jewish elites, a majority of Jews could only prefer Soviet rule to Nazi rule. The city’s non-Jews forgot about the seizure of Jewish property, the arrests of Jewish political and religious leaders, and the deportation of tens of thousands of Jewish refugees to the Soviet interior. What they recalled instead were the actions of a part of Jewish youth, Soviet officials of Jewish origin, and those refugees who joined the Soviet administration.
