Roman Senkus Editor Jaroslav Rozumnyj Introduction This special issue of the Journal of Ukrainian Studies honours Jaroslav Rozumnyj. The theme, “Creating a Modem Ukrainian Cultural Space,” brings together essays from a number of disciplines and perspectives that reflect his particular interests in cultural developments, both in Ukraine and in the diaspora communities. Professor Rozumnyj has been associated primarily with the University of Manitoba, where he taught for over thirty years and headed the Department of Slavic Studies (1976-89). He has also maintained close connections with other institutions. He has taught at the Ukrainian Free University in Munich and was the dean of that institution’s Faculty of Philosophy in the years 1995-96. Since 1992 he has been a member of the International Advisory Board of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy National University, and in 1996 he was made an honorary professor of that university. Professor Rozumnyj has also been a visiting professor or research scholar at the Ukrainian Catholic University in Rome, the University of Ottawa, and Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. Throughout his career, as the selected bibliography in this volume indicates. Professor Rozumnyj maintained scholarly interests in a number of fields. They include modem and contemporary Ukrainian poetry, the Ukrainian cultural experience in Canada, early modem Ukrainian writing, and postwar Ukrainian film. He was also a very active reviewer, a regular contributor to newspapers, and a constant participant in community life. This aspect of his work has been recognized by the presentation of a number of awards by the University of Manitoba, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, and other community organizations. Jaroslav Rozumnyj was bom in 1925 and grew up in the village of Vychilky (now Honcharivka) near Temopil in Western Ukraine. The Second World War intermpted his high-school education, which he was able to complete only after the war as a displaced person in Germany. He obtained a B.A. in philosophy and theology from the Ukrainian Catholic Seminary in Culemborg, Holland in 1951 before moving to Canada, where he completed an M.A. and then a Ph.D. in Slavic Studies at the University of Ottawa. His wartime experiences and early training in philosophy and theology left their mark on

  • The Making of the Poetic Subject in Vasyl Stus's
    ‘A FRAGMENT OF WHOLENESS’: THE MAKING OF THE POETIC SUBJECT IN VASYL STUS’S PALIMPSESTS Bohdan Tokarskyi St John’s College University of Cambridge The dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2019 PREFACE This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution. It does not exceed the prescribed word limit of 80,000 words. ii ABSTRACT Bohdan Tokarskyi ‘A Fragment of Wholeness’: The Making of the Poetic Subject in Vasyl Stus’s Palimpsests My PhD thesis investigates the exploration of the self and the innovative poetical language in the works of the Ukrainian dissident poet and Gulag prisoner Vasyl Stus (1938-1985). Focusing on Stus’s magnum opus collection Palimpsests (1971-1979), where the poet casts the inhuman conditions of his incarceration to the periphery and instead engages in radical introspection, I show how Stus’s poetry foregrounds the very making of the subject as the constant pursuit of the authentic self. Through my examination of unpublished archival materials, analysis of Stus’s underexplored poems, and the contextualisation of the poet’s works within the tradition of the philosophy of becoming, I propose a new reading of Palimpsests, one that redirects scholarly attention from the historical and political to the psychological and philosophical.

  • 1 Theories of Nationalism and the Soviet Ukrainian Context
    1 Theories of Nationalism and the Soviet Ukrainian Context INTRODUCTION On 24 August 1991 the Ukrainian parliament, or Supreme Council, declared national independence, their action subsequently being confirmed by 90.3 per cent of the population in a referendum on 1 December 1990. The central task of any contemporary political history of Ukraine must be to try to explain how this occurred. This opening chapter seeks to place Ukrainian nationalism in a theoretical context, without, however, arguing that Ukraine's entire recent history can or should be retrospectively analysed as a necessary development towards the nationalism of today. As Ukraine, in common with the other constituent parts of the former Soviet Union, has recently experienced a self-styled national 'revival', the main theoretical question is whether it has anything in common with the great European or colonial revivals of the last two centuries. The literature on such revivals is enormous.1 There are very many potential theoretical explanations as to why national movements develop, although not all have been specifically applied to the con­ temporary Soviet context, and still fewer to Ukraine itself. As recent works by Alexander Motyl, Lubomyr Hajda and Mark Beissinger have noted, Sovietology's coverage of nationality problems in the USSR has often been lacking in theoretical perspective, or has failed to make its perspective sufficiently clear.2 Even when political science approaches to Soviet studies became more common after the decline of the 'totalitarianism' paradigm in the 1960s, they rarely paid com­ mensurate attention to the national question.3 This chapter will, however, consider the work of those authors who have looked at the recent development of nationalism in the Soviet Union and Ukraine in a theoretical context.

  • The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature
    From Upyr’ to Vampir: The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature Dorian Townsend Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Languages and Linguistics Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of New South Wales May 2011 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Townsend First name: Dorian Other name/s: Aleksandra PhD, Russian Studies Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: School: Languages and Linguistics Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: From Upyr’ to Vampir: The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) The Slavic vampire myth traces back to pre-Orthodox folk belief, serving both as an explanation of death and as the physical embodiment of the tragedies exacted on the community. The symbol’s broad ability to personify tragic events created a versatile system of imagery that transcended its folkloric derivations into the realm of Russian literature, becoming a constant literary device from eighteenth century to post-Soviet fiction. The vampire’s literary usage arose during and after the reign of Catherine the Great and continued into each politically turbulent time that followed. The authors examined in this thesis, Afanasiev, Gogol, Bulgakov, and Lukyanenko, each depicted the issues and internal turmoil experienced in Russia during their respective times. By employing the common mythos of the vampire, the issues suggested within the literature are presented indirectly to the readers giving literary life to pressing societal dilemmas. The purpose of this thesis is to ascertain the vampire’s function within Russian literary societal criticism by first identifying the shifts in imagery in the selected Russian vampiric works, then examining how the shifts relate to the societal changes of the different time periods.
