The article deals with the metamorphosis of Ukrainian literature after 1989. The author is focused on the constitution of postmodern discourse in Ukrainian literature and its implementation in the sphere of academic criticism. Postmodern tendencies in Ukrainian literature become visible at the end of the 1960s and at the biginning of the 1970s in texts of the New York Group (E. Andijevska, V. Vovk, Zh. Vasyľkivska, P. Kylyna, J. Tarnavskyj, B. Rubchak and B. Bojchuk), "chimeric novell" (H. Pahutak, V. Nazarenko, O. Lysheha) and the group of writers from MUR (V. Petrov, I. Bahrjanyj, U. Samchuk, T. Osmachka, J. Malanjuk, J. Sherekh etc.). At the end of the 1980s the definitive leaning to the poetics of postmodernism became conspicious in the texts of Jurij Andrukhovycz, Viktor Neborak and Oleksander Irvanets from Bu-Ba-Bu. In the 1990s, a number of new literary groups belonging to the discoursive sphere of postmodernism and neomodernism came into being: New Degeneration, Lu-Ho-Sad, Dogs of St. Georgy etc. The author also deals with works of writers adherent to regime of writing of so called "social clinic", stream of consiousness, visual poetry and feminism. In the centre of author's interest stand perception and reinterpretation of phenomena of popculture which became dominant in the texts of Ukrainian writers at the end of the 1990s. |
