РЕГІОНАЛЬНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ВИШИВКИ: ІСТОРІОГРАФІЧНИЙ ОГЛЯД НАУКОВОГО ДОРОБКУ ВІТЧИЗНЯНИХ ДОСЛІДНИКІВ

Abstract

The article provides a historiographic review of the scientific heritage of domestic researchers devoted to the study of regional features of Ukrainian embroidery (vyshyvka). It was found that this problem aroused scientific interest among researchers already in the 70s of the 19th century, in particular in the works of Khv. Vovk and O. Kosach. It is stated that it was O. Kosach (Olena Pchilka) who was one of the founders of the study of Ukrainian embroidery and ornamentation as an ethnographic phenomenon. The authors emphasize that for quite a long time the terms «vyshyvka» and «vyshyvanka» were ignored in encyclopedic editions, but the situation changed after the Orange Revolution and especially after the Revolution of Dignity. The main attention of the authors is focused on the informative and analytical material of the scientific work of different generations of researchers who studied the Ukrainian embroidered towel, as well as women’s and men’s vyshyvanka. It was concluded that the scientific output of researchers, which reveals various aspects of this problem, includes hundreds of articles and dozens of monographs. The authors found out that the regional peculiarities of Ukrainian embroidery relate not only to the technique of decoration, ornamentation, color range, but also to its role and significance as a talisman and place in the national ceremonial culture, however, at the same time it is claimed that, in addition to the already well-known factual and analytical information, today there are still many little-known and little-researched aspects of this multifaceted scientific problem that require both further study and generalization.
