Abstract

The article offers an overview of 30 years of scientific activity of Lviv ethno- musicologist Iryna Dovhaliuk in the field of history of Ukrainian ethnomusicology. The multifaceted creation of the researcher has been revealed in the main prob- lematic and thematic areas, taking into account the time dynamics of the studio deployment. Among the considered directions: a) musical and ethnographic activity of Ukrai- nian folklorist Osyp Rozdolskyi: b) history of publication of Ukrainian folk music; c) folkloristic activity of Filaret Kolessa; d) history of phonography of Ukrainian folk music; e) folk music archiving (phonoarchiving). Peculiarities of the research style of Iryna Dovhaliuk, theoretical and metho- dological and applied tools of her historical searches have been traced. Emphasis is placed on the scrupulousness and diversity of source studies of Iryna Dovhaliuk, the focus on maximum objectivity and provability of scientific conclusions; on meticu- lous attention to the smallest facts on the research problem in order to trace its de- velopment as fully as possible and on this basis to comprehensively understand the general tendencies; on a wide amplitude of historical and theoretical generalizations of the processes of formation and development of Ukrainian ethnomusicology in a broad comparative context with similar processes in the world music folklore studies. Special emphasis is placed on the active scientific and socio-cultural position of the researcher, and in particular on the unique projects of Iryna Dovhaliuk for Ukrainian science to preserve and introduce into scientific circulation the musical and ethnographic heritage of Ukrainian collectors, in particular valuable collections of phonorecords of Ukrainian folk music of the first half of the twentieth century. The review has been prepared mainly on the basis of printed publications of Iryna Dovhaliuk, as well as the analysis of her research and promotion projects and events.
