  • ESSAY: Ukrainian Immigrant Theatre 1904-1923
    ESSAY: Ukrainian Immigrant Theatre 1904-1923 From the turn of the twentieth century immigrant theatre played a central role in the life of Winnipeg's Ukrainian community. As the historian Robert Harney pointed out many years ago, immigrant theatre, more than any other institution, served to "affirm the existence of ethnic community." By performing in or simply by attending Ukrainian plays staged by Ukrainian drama societies, immigrants acknowledged and celebrated their common cultural inheritance, and asserted their membership in the Ukrainian community. In addition to providing entertainment and quenching the immigrants' nostalgia for the homeland, immigrant theatre was also "an effective vehicle for patriotic, ideological and moral education for those who wished to influence immigrant communities." Even illiterate, uneducated and physically exhausted immigrants could be instructed and influenced through plays with simple and direct plots. In an era before radio, television and motion pictures, the theatre monopolized the immigrant imagination, helped to shape popular opinion, and was utilized by those with cultural, religious and political agendas to advance various causes and reform programs. The First Drama Societies The first Ukrainian amateur theatrical performance in Winnipeg, a production of Hryhorii Tsehlynsky's comedy Argonavty (The Argonauts), took place on 14 May 1904. Directed by Ivan Antoniuk and featuring Apolinarii Novak, Dmytro Kyrstiuk and Jacob Makohin in the lead roles, it was staged at the Taras Shevchenko Reading Club, which was located in Cyril Genik's home at 109 Euclid Avenue (formerly the Ashdown residence). Produced by young radicals who were challenging the traditional authority of the Ukrainian Catholic clergy, the play satirized the efforts of Ukrainian Catholic theology graduates in Eastern Galicia to find wealthy brides prior to their ordination into the priesthood.

  • Gogol's May Night As a Source of Inspiration and a Site of Intercultural
    Gogol’s May Night as a Source of Inspiration and a Site of Intercultural Contact between Russian and Ukrainian Opera Composers HANA SHÁNĚLOVÁ UNIVERSITY OF PARDUBICE CZECH REPUBLIC Abstract: The study deals with the opera adaptation and the form of artistic conception of Gogol’s early story (skaz) “May Night, or the Drowned Maiden” in the works of Ukrainian and Russian composers with a particular focus on the national aspect, the intercultural relations, the use of folklore and the preservation of characteristic features typical of Gogol’s skaz. Keywords: N.V. Gogol, May Night, or the Drowned Maiden, opera, N. Rimsky-Korsakov, M. Lysenko, P. Sokalsky In spite of the fact that there is a vast array of scientific and popularizing publications dedicated to N. V. Gogol’s work, there is lack of a study that would systematically and comprehensively addressed the writer’s works set to music. This paper attempts to at least partially fill in this gap, concentrating on the opera adaptations of Gogol’s short story May Night, or the Drowned Maiden from his collection Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka. Several operas have been inspired by skaz (specific short story) May Night, or the Drowned Maiden of Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol, a Ukrainian author writing in Russian. However, not all the operas were successful (A. Serov), some of them were merely sketches (B. Martinů, V. Kaprálová), and only three of them were completed: the opera May Night by the Ukrainian composer Petro Sokalsky was finished in 1876, but has yet never been staged; May Night by the Russian author Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, which was premiered at the Mariinsky Theatre in St.

  • RICE UNIVERSITY Cultural Heritage in States of Transition: Authorities
    RICE UNIVERSITY Cultural Heritage in States of Transition: Authorities, Entrepreneurs, and Sound Archives in Ukraine By Anthony G. Potoczniak A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE Doctor of Philosophy APPROVED, THESIS COMMITTEE: Ja n, Professor Department of Anthropology Houston, TX May, 2011 ii Abstract Cultural Heritage in States of Transition: Authorities, Entrepreneurs and Sound Archives in Ukraine by Anthony G. Potoczniak Since Ukraine's independence, a burgeoning private sector has been increasingly encroaching in cultural spaces that previously were conceived of as "property of the state." This dissertation is an ethnographic account of how objects of cultural heritage are being re-configured within the new post-Soviet economy. Specifically, it focuses on sound archive field recordings of traditional music and how they are being transformed into cultural commodities. Regarding the jurisdiction of culture -- who controls cultural heritage and how it is used to represent ethnic and national identity -- my research shows how these boundaries are increasingly being negotiated within structures of social, cultural and political power. Thus, culture becomes a contested object between competing ideological systems: cultural heritage as a means to salvage and reconstruct repressed histories and to revive former national traditions, on the one hand, and cultural heritage as a creative, future-oriented force to construct new identities in growmg consumer marketplaces. iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to a great number of individuals, who played an important role in my graduate work and the completion of this research project. First and foremost, I want to thank my family, friends, and colleagues in Ukraine, who endured countless hours of conversation about cultural heritage collections in Ukraine.

The earliest book publication included in this bibliography dates from 1890: it is Marko Vovchok's novel Marusia, translated indirectly from a French version co-authored with P.J.
