12/06/2012 Recommendations for the Networks / Associations of Youth 12/06/2012 Recommendations for the networks / associations of youth WHAT TO DO OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS: 1. Create several small groups: a) groups with one of each: a lawyer, an economist, a politologist, a sociologist, etc.; b) Each member of a group will explore its specific sphere. 2. Choose several normal countries, i.e. those which have full political freedoms, reasonable level of economic prosperity for most people, social justice and coexist with nature, such as Austria, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland. 3. Study the “architecture” and the main articles of the constitution of the chosen country, its political structure, economic system, the ideology of several parties and their programs. Choose the components which will be in harmony with the Ukrainian cultural heritage, aspirations. Members of these groups will hopefully become philosophers-architects of the societal order of Ukraine. 4. Sum up the results of the studies in electronic form and exchange them with other groups. 5. Call larger and longer meetings and discuss the desirable architecture for the political, economic and social systems of Ukraine. 6. Ensure that the discussions in question will be covered by reputable media in order to spread the progressive ideas, concepts in the society and gradually formulate public opinion in favor of necessary changes. 7. Formulate new ideologies, action programs for few new parties, socialist, centrist, liberal. BHCF is ready to monitor the above processes, help with some contacts and finance some of the work. WHAT NOT TO DO: 1. Do not join singly the existing parties. 2. In case you decide to take part in the elections in autumn 2012, do it in groups rather than singly in order to have a critical mass of new ideas, approaches. II. WHAT TO START DOING NOW 1. Become active at local royon or city level. 2. Learn from examples of self governance at local or city levels from, say, Germany and Vinnytsya oblast and help introduce reform for self governance.

  • 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.

  • Ukraine's Quest for Mature Nation Statehood a Roundtable
    Ukraine’s Quest For Mature Nation Statehood A Roundtable CONFERENCE BACKGROUND he genesis of the “Ukraine1s Quest for Mature Nation Statehood: A Roundtable” series Ttook place in April 2000, when a number of Ukrainian/American organizations convened to consider ways to support the 'dialogue' that was unfolding between the U.S. and Ukraine. These deliberations gave rise to a com- mitment: to convene a conference that would bring together prominent representatives from academia and the gov- ernments of Ukraine and the United States to assess Ukraine's prospects for accelerated integration into the Euro Atlantic Community and stronger bilateral relations. To help fulfill the commitment, four key sources were tapped. The Ukrainian Congressional Caucus and the Ukrainian Embassy were asked to garner political support in the U.S. and in Ukraine, respectively. Major American universities, think tanks, and NGOs were invited to lend their good names and to supply important contacts. Major American and Ukrainian-American financial and commercial institutions were invited to provide the necessary financial wherewithal. In September 2000, these efforts culminated in a singular event held at the Library of Congress and at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, D.C. The two-day conference featured 84 speakers representing the most prestigious members of America1s and Ukraine1s representatives in the foreign policy field. Major seg- ments of the conference were web-cast live worldwide; the entire conference was video taped by the U.S. Department of State for subsequent airing at various venues. A complete transcript of the proceedings was pro- duced for purposes of publishing a monograph in both the English and Ukrainian languages.
