Язичницький світ українців у науковій концепції Івана Огієнка та в поезії Ірини Калинець: типологічні аспекти

Abstract

The proposed article explores the ways of timeless communication of the au-thor’s consciousness of Ukrainian theologian Ivan Ohiienko and dissident writer Iryna Kalynets, clarifi es the intersections of their refl ections on the pre-Christian life of the Ukrainian people, characterizes the typology of transposition of pagan world and folklore-mythological narrative versions of the poetess. The similarity of views of both representatives of the analyzed discourse on the animistic world-view and mentality of Ukrainians is revealed, the integral meaning of their de-clared concepts of its pre-Christian ethics, mythology and culture, invariability of nature worship and personifi cation of the material world as reciprocal (mutual) We emphasize the important aspects of the poet’s lyrics in the aesthetics of the natural world in line with the core ideas and semantic concepts of the work «Pre-Christian beliefs of the Ukrainian people» by Ivan Ohiienko. In this context, we analyze in detail the traditional fl oristic images (evshan-potion, viburnum) permeated in the art world of Iryna Kalynets, singled out in this work by its author as markers of the national world. The second aspect of the interpretation of the poet’s lyrics lies in the plane of analysis of astral symbolism (sun, moon, stars). In her author’s text, as well as in the work of Ivan Ohiienko, the images of the astral cult regulate the co-herence of the earthly and celestial spheres, creatively realize the aesthetic function of the binary opposition earthly / celestial. The key images of the ancient Ukrainian world in Iryna Kalynets’ work are focused in the semantic fi eld of Ohiienko’s sci-entifi c concept. At the same time, they function in diff erent associative contexts, attesting to their individual artistic versions.
