Abstract

The article represents research into poetry written during the Revolution of Dignity (2014). Such artistic texts are analyzed as a kind of phenomenon of contemporary literature. These are the poems of famous authors or even amateurs, united by a common sacred code. They appeal to the patterns and archetypes of the collective consciousness of Ukrainians. In the poetry of Euromaidan the researcher underlines two types of sacralization, which can be conditionally called masculine and feminine (paternal and maternal). The masculine type of this process realizes a symbolic projection of the figure of Jesus Christ. This symbol emphasizes the determination of the act, active attitude, the idea of fighting for the truth, as well as the willingness to sacrifice their own lives for the common good. The feminine version of the proces of sacralization is the Virgin Mary. This image appeals not to the heroic act, but to its emotional reflection, more specifically – the suffering, pain, traumatic experience of the victim. It corresponds to the archetypal image of the Mother of God, the Suffering Mother, who sacrifices her own son to death and cries for him later. The embodiment of the Christian sacrum in the poetry of the Maidan testifies to the fidelity to both European and Ukrainian traditions.

Abstract

The author of the article analyzes the first literary attempts to reflect the experience of Russia’s full‑scale war against Ukraine. The main attention is paid to the problem of the traumatic experience of the war, based on the first feelings of shock and its consequences. The researcher considers three books (anthologies of poems, essays and diaries Poetry without Shelter, The War‑2022 and Oksana Zabuzhko’s essay A Long Journey), which were published during the first year of the war. These are dissimilar books, but they represent one problem from different points of view. The texts are those of contemporary Ukrainian authors who survived the traumatic experience of the Russian invasion in February 2022 in different places and under different circumstances. The author of the article interprets these works as a cultural tool in the process of mastering the state of shock, and later – as a mechanism for the verbal representation of the trauma itself.
