    1984 After February 24th: A Philosophical Rereading of Orwell’s Novel.Zlatyslav Dubniak - 2023 - Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 10:49-57.
    The article offers a philosophical rereading of George Orwell’s novel 1984 in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, in particular after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, 2022. In recent decades, the dystopia of the English writer has become not only a model of literary criticism of totalitarianism but also the subject of constant falsifications and censorship for Russian propagandists. This study aims to clarify the primary philosophical content of Orwell’s novel and its heuristic potency to expose the (...)

    From Indifference to Obsession: Russian Claim to Kyiv History in Travel Literature of the 18th–early 19th Century.Kateryna Dysa - 2023 - Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 10:192-213.
    In this article, I discuss a relatively recent development of Russian interest in Kyiv as a place with symbolic and historical significance for Russian history, which makes it a desirable target in an ongoing war. I trace the changing attitude of Russian travelers towards Kyiv’s history from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century. Earlier generations of visitors came to Kyiv primarily to visit holy places, with no knowledge of the city’s historical significance, and because it was a more affordable (...)

    The Reception of Graham Harman’s Philosophy in Polish and Ukrainian Scholarship.Vasyl Korchevnyi - 2023 - Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 10:242-272.
    The article aims to explore the ways in which scholars from Poland and Ukraine engage with Graham Harman’s philosophical work1. The introductory part briefly describes Harman’s ontology and demonstrates the link connecting Harman with Polish and Ukrainian intellectual environments. Harman’s object-oriented ontology (OOO) states that objects are the fundamental building blocks of reality and cannot be reduced either to what they are made of or to what they do, that is, either to their constituents or to their effects. The connection (...)

    For the “Global 1960s” in Literature: American, French, and Ukrainian Contexts.Yuliia Kulish - 2023 - Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 10:214-241.
    This article offers an innovative perspective on the literary landscapes of the 1960s in France, Ukraine, and the USA serving as exemplars of a global literary project that views literary works as heterotopias that, while being distinct, collectively constitute a cohesive whole. Using a comparative approach, complemented with distant reading techniques, the study examines how these literary realms are interconnected, revealing shared aesthetic foundations guided by an overarching law. This law, rooted in Theodor Adorno’s concept of negativity, becomes evident in (...)

    War – Writer – Text: Discursive Features (on the Material of Oksana Zabuzhko’s Essays).Svitlana Kuranova - 2023 - Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 10:68-88.
    The article is dedicated to a complex analysis of the “war texts”. Discursive features of the triad “war – author – text” are proposed to be researched through the prism of the holistic linguistic act of communication. Discourse analysis of “war texts” is carried out on the material of works of Oksana Zabuzhko, namely, the collection of essays “And Again I Crawl into the Tank” and “The Longest Journey”. The way the topic of the Russian-Ukrainian war is understood and interpreted (...)

    The Representation of Psychological War-Related Traumas in the Literary Works of Contemporary Burundian and Ukrainian Writers: African and European Perspectives.Audace Mbonyingingo, Olena Moiseyenko & Dmytro Mazin - 2023 - Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 10:89-119.
    The article explores the representation of psychological traumas afflicted by war in contemporary literary writing by Burundian (African) and Ukrainian (European) authors who were witnesses of the events described in their works. Based on the existing linguistic and psychological theoretical approaches to the phenomenon of a mental wound, a comparative perspective is provided on the nature, literary, and linguistic manifestations of psychological trauma in Burundian novels by Antoine Kaburahe and Marie-Therese Toyi, presenting the tragic, but stoic experience during the civil (...)

    The Holocaust Trauma and Autobiographism in Ida Fink’s and Charlotte Delbo’s Stories.Anastasiia Mikhieieva - 2023 - Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 10:120-131.
    The research is based on a study of short story collections by Israeli writer Ida Fink’s, All the Stories, and French writer Charlotte Delbo’s, Auschwitz and After, to reflect the impact of the Holocaust on autobiographical elements in their work. The authors are representatives of the first generation of Holocaust survivors, which means that the mass systematic genocide during World War II was a personal traumatic experience for them. The works of female writers are studied using the theory of trauma (...)

    The Ukrainian Language in the Temporarily Occupied Territories (2014–October 2022).Michael Moser - 2023 - Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 10:1-48.
    The protection of the Russian language and Russian “compatriots” has been a major issue of Russian political discourse for years. According to Russian official announcements, it was even a major reason for Russian war activities in Ukraine. In 2014, the Russian Federation introduced its language policy in Crimea and began to control the language policy of Donetsk and Luhansk “People’s Republics.” Both Russian and Ukrainian, as well as other languages, have been affected by these measures. Since 24 February 2022, Russian (...)

    Family Library as a Site of Memory: the Rozumovskys’ / Razumovskys’ Book Collection from the Mid-Eighteenth to the Early Twenty-First Century.Svitlana Potapenko - 2023 - Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 10:145-168.
    This article focuses on the book collection whose history began in the mid-eighteenth century and despite certain losses continues nowadays 1. This is a sole known book gathering that belonged to the Ukrainian ruling dynasty and still finds itself in the possession of the family. The Counts Razumovsky, who trace their ancestry from the hetman Kyrylo Rozumovsky (1728– 1803), held first-class libraries in their Ukrainian, Russian, Austrian, and Czech estates during almost three centuries. However, it is only the Viennese collection (...)

    Hetmans’ Land Donations to the Orthodox Church: Motives and Expectations.Oksana Prokopyuk - 2023 - Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 10:169-191.
    Hetmans’ donations to the Orthodox Church were characteristic of the religious and political culture of the Cossack state already in the era of its emergence in the mid-17th century. In addition to other gifts, hetmans confirmed or provided Orthodox monasteries with land ownership, which was at the center of identity, power, and social prestige. It is clear that certain concrete motives, expectations, and models of behavior stood behind the hetmans’ donations of land. This article suggests considering hetmans’ donations of land (...)

    Following the Footsteps of the Oldest Cossack Centre in Zaporizhzhia, founded by Prince Dmytro Vyshnevetskyi.Vitalii Shcherbak - 2023 - Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 10:132-144.
    The emergence of the Cossack community on the southern border was conditioned by its population growth and the necessity to protect Ukrainian lands from Tatar expansion. The long stay of the Cossacks far from the volosts (rural municipalities) raise the need for uniting into cohesive troops led by an experienced ataman. They built fortified towns and small settlements to defend against Horde attacks and securely store their booty. Russian officials wanted to use the Cossack potential and repeatedly offered the ruler (...)
