OUR LIFE M o n th ly , p u b lis h e d b y U k ra in ia n N a tio n a l W o m e n ’s L e a g u e o f A m e ric a VOL. LII MAY 1996 Editor: TAMARA STADNYCHENKO GREETINGS TO ALL PARTICIPANTS OF THE XXIVth CONVENTION OF THE UNWLA MODERNIST AND FEMINIST DISCOURSES AND THEIR CULTURAL RECEPTION IN UKRAINE AN INTERVIEW WITH SOLOMEA PAVLYCHKO by KSENYA KIEBUZINSKI Please tell us a little more about what you hope to cover in your course, “Modernism, Feminism and Their Reception in Twentieth Century Ukrainian Literature.” On the one hand, this course will cover Ukrainian literature from the end of the 19th century to the present day — the entire 20th century in chronological order. On the other hand, it will not cover all literature written in the 20th century. That is not my objective. The focus of the course will be on several key problems of Ukrai- nain literature within this time frame. Among these is the problem of modernism, which I understand as an eminent need for the modernization of culture, discourse, styles and language of the arts and criticism. Moderni zation has been unsuccessful in Ukrainian literatue — even today, modernism exists on the margins of culture while cultural discourse in Ukraine is dominated by “narodnytstvo” and populism. Another focus of the course will be feminism. Modernism and feminism have always been marginalized phenomena in Ukrainain cul ture. Their audiences were, for the most part, not simply readers, but men of letters who held to non-modernist, non-feminist viewpoints which were canonized and which dominated over others. It is exactly these same non modernist, non-feminist views and discourses which dominate Ukrainain culture today. Solomea Pavlychko Photo:Tania D’avignon ’’НАШЕ Ж ИТТЯ”, ТРАВЕНЬ 1996 11
