  • The Stone Master”: on the Invisibility of Women’S Writing from the Soviet Ukrainian Periphery
    “The Stone Master”: On the Invisibility of Women’s Writing from the Soviet Ukrainian Periphery Oleksandra Wallo University of Kansas Abstract: Until the last decade of the Soviet state’s existence, only very few Ukrainian women writers achieved literary fame. This study sheds new light on Soviet Ukrainian political, historical, and social contexts that contributed to the invisibility of Ukrainian women’s writing by examining the case of Lviv-based author Nina Bichuia (b. 1937). Bichuia’s career and the publication history of her works illustrate several characteristics and paradoxes of Soviet literary politics concerning the Soviet periphery—i.e., the non-Russian republics, such as Ukraine. In particular, this article analyzes the differences in permissible literary expression between Moscow the metropole, Kyiv, the centre of the Ukrainian periphery, and Lviv, the Western Ukrainian periphery. It considers gender politics and biases in the Soviet Ukrainian literary establishment and the strictures of the Soviet “Friendship of Peoples” discourse, which had a provincializing effect on Ukrainian literary production and the tastes of the reading public. The article offers a close reading of Bichuia’s last short story, “Kaminnyi hospodar” (“The Stone Master,” 1990), which reflects this author’s “final word” on the Soviet environment for writing literature in the Western Ukrainian periphery. By analyzing Bichuia’s use of important literary intertexts and employing recent theorizations about Soviet state discourse, I demonstrate how “The Stone Master” imaginatively represents and criticizes the regime of discursive monopoly established by the Soviet system. This regime is shown to force a Ukrainian female writer into silence, which can be strategic, but cannot result in greater literary visibility.

  • September 2017 a Comparison Between 89 Cities1
    Lutsk September 2017 A comparison between 89 cities1 Introduction The Intercultural Cities is a Council of Europe flagship programme. It seeks to explore the potential of an intercultural approach to integration in communities with culturally diverse populations. The cities participating in the programme are reviewing their governance, policies, discourse and practices from an intercultural point of view. In the past, this review has taken the form of narrative reports and city profiles – a form which was rich in content and detail. However, narrative reports alone were relatively weak as tools to monitor and communicate progress. Thus, an “Intercultural City Index” has been designed as a benchmarking tool for the cities taking part in the programme as well as for future participants. As of today 89 cities have undergone their intercultural policies analysis using the Intercultural City Index: Albufeira (Portugal), Amadora (Portugal), Arezzo (Italy), Ballarat (Australia), Barcelona (Spain), Beja (Portugal), Bergen (Norway), Bilbao (Spain), Botkyrka (Sweden), Braga (Portugal), Bucharest (Romania), Campi Bisenzio (Italy), Cartagena (Spain), Casalecchio di Reno (Italy), Cascais (Portugal), Castellón (Spain), Castelvetro (Italy), Catalonia (Spain), Coimbra (Portugal), Comune di Ravenna (Italy), Constanta (Romania), Copenhagen (Denmark), Donostia-San Sebastian2 (Spain), Dortmund (Germany), Dublin (Ireland), Duisburg (Germany), Erlangen (Germany), Forlì (Italy), Fucecchio (Italy), Fuenlabrada (Spain), Geneva (Switzerland), Genoa (Italy), Getxo

  • Colonialism and Post- Colonialism
    DOI: 10.7816/idil-06-29-02 idil, 2017, Cilt 6, Sayı 29, Volume 6, Issue 29 UKRAINIAN LITERATURE BY WOMEN WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF COLONIALISM AND POST- COLONIALISM Radana MERZOVA1 ABSTRACT The article focuses on the roots of Ukrainian feminism, outstanding personalities involved in the development of Ukrainian literature and well-known contemporary female writers who interpret the colonial and postcolonial thinking in their works. The article compares the differencies in the development of feminism in the eastern and western Ukraine. The most important Ukrainian feminists are presented as well as their opinion streams and their works of literary criticism. The theme of women has been transformed in contemporary literature; therefore we focus mainly on the works of 20th century. In addition to women's issues we found concrete manifestations of anti-colonial and post-colonial resistance in the works of these Ukrainian authors across of time. The manifestations are based on the denouncement of imperialism. Contemporary Ukrainian feminism is re-evaluating the position of women in society in connection with the cultural and social situation and at the same time takes into account the political context within the particular stages of the historic development of the state. The paper gives examples of postcolonial mythologization of Ukrainian nation, formation of Ukrainian identity by activation of historical memory. In conclusion, the paper introduces a new heroine in Ukrainian prose - woman of complete subjective expressions, an open woman, sexually aware & intellectually mature. Keywords: Ukrainian feminism, contemporary Ukrainian female writers, colonial and postcolonial context in contemporary literary works, Lesia Ukrainka, Olena Teliha, Lina Kostenko, Marie Matios and Oxsana Zabuzhko.

    Songwriting and Singing: Ukrainian Revolutionary and Not So Revolutionary Activities in the 1860s Bohdan Klid This paper examines the composition and singing of revolutionary popu- list, patriotic, and nationalist songs by Kyiv-based Ukrainophile students and young intellectuals in the early 1860s. The first part discusses the writing of three songs: two by Anatolii Svydnytsky and one by Pavlo Chubynsky. Svydnytsky was a student at the St. Vladimir University in Kyiv (hereafter Kyiv University) during the years 1857-60, after which he left to teach Russian in a Myrhorod county school in Poltava guber- nia.^ Chubynsky was a law student at St. Petersburg University until the spring of 1861, whereupon he returned to his father’s country home near Boryspil, on the road from Kyiv to Pereiaslav, to write his dissertation.^ Both participated in Ukrainophile activities, which included writing for the St. Petersburg-based Ukrainophile journal Osnova, attending meet- ings of the Hromadas—societies of Ukrainian populist intellectuals in St. Petersburg and Kyiv—and participating in Hromada-sponsored activities, such as endeavors related to popular education, including teaching in Sunday schools and distributing Ukrainian-language popular literature to peasants and city youth.^ ^ On Svydnytsky, see M. Ye. Syvachenko, Anatolii Svydnytsky i zarodzhennia sotsi- alnoho romanu v ukrainskii literaturi (Kyiv: Vydavnytstvo Akademii nauk Ukrainskoi RSR, 1962). He is best known as the author of the first realist novel in Ukrainian, Liu- boratski, which he completed in 1862 but was not published until 1886. ^ On Chubynsky, see Dmytro Cherednychenko, Pavlo Chubynsky (Kyiv: Altematyvy, 2005). He is best known as an ethnographer and the de facto head of the Southwestern Section of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society during the years 1873-76.
