Generic specifications of the lyrical fragments in works by O. Dovzhenko, Ye. Malaniuk and P. Tychyna

Abstract

The author of the article analyzed the formal and substantial traits in the diaries and notebooks by the prominent 20th century Ukrainian writers - Oleksandr Dovzhenko ("Diaries" written from 1941 to 1956), Yevhen Malaniuk ("Reflections on the Arts", 1962) and Pavlo Tychyna ("From diary entries", 1950-1959). What was taken for the essential research concept was the moment of intermediality, thanks to which the exposition of the certain phenomenon of everyday life gets confirmed as the result of the artistic synthesis and, in process, becomes the impulse for the subsequent creative search. Having based on the essence of a diary or a notebook as the collection of some personal and even intimate confessions, reflections and observations, the author of this article studied the works by Dovzhenko, Malaniuk and Tychyna in terms of the specific poetic vision of the world that, however, is quite worth of sharing it with a reader - either an explicit or an implicit one - in order to get him involved into the creative process. In particular, O. Dovzhenko's notes taken at wartime are not only about the World War II, - due to the interweaving of realities and retrospectives, his diaries appear to be topical nowadays, during the current russian full-scale invasion into our country. What is more, the reflections of all writers analyzed over development of arts in soviet Ukraine (for example, their attitude to censorship and support of creative freedom) make their works helpful for any multifaceted studies of the 20^th century Ukrainian arts, including literature. Therefore, the most important role in the narration of such kind belongs to the similes, paraphrases, symbolic images and archetypes, sensory (color, sound, tactile) images and artistic (literary, painting, architectural, cinematographic) concepts; along with that, the specific poetic syntax (parallelism, parceled constructions, nominative and run-on sentences) is essential to turn a diary into a real pageturner.
