    ‘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 Through my examination of unpublished archival materials, analysis of Stus’s underexplored poems, and the contextualisation of the poet’s works within the tradition of the philosophy of becoming, I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.

Moscow had delayed agreeing to a date, and even now continues its attempts to set the summit’s terms.

Kerstetter Graduate Officer Professor of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Garry Chick Professor of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management Carter A. Hunt Assistant Professor of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management Fuyuan Shen Associate Professor of Advertising and Public Relations *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT The fields of tourism and migration have been uneasy companions despite the fact that both study the two largest patterns of human movement across geographical areas. A recent emergence of the mobilities paradigm created potential for bridging the two knowledge networks and providing opportunities for crossover and mutual enrichment. Engaging with the intersection of tourism and migration mobilities, this study has a dual purpose. Theoretically it explores diaspora tourism as a promising link between tourism and migration. Practically diaspora tourism is offered as a coping strategy that can be used by immigrants to alleviate stress associated with relocation to a culturally dissimilar society. In this dissertation three aspects of diaspora tourism are explored as they pertain to the fourth wave of Ukrainian immigrants in the United States. The first aspect concerns identity formation and adjustment issues Ukrainian immigrants experience upon arrival to the United States, and how these issues affect their relationship with and desire to visit Ukraine.

  • 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.
