Мовна картина світу у драмі Наталії Ворожбит «Зерносховище»

Abstract

The article deals with the language image of the world in «The Grain Store» by N. Vorozhbyt. The author uses the method of cognitive definition which gives the possibility to reconstruct collective and individual ways of language conceptualization of reality with an appropriate set of categorical, evaluative and typological characteristics. The research has been carried out according to the program of minimal analysis of the language image of the world which includes six aspects of profiling in accordance with the basic communication model, taking into account language profiling of concepts in artistic texts. The program of minimal analysis of the language image of the world includes several items: way of determining collective identity; way of perception and linguistic recognition of others; ways of conceptualizing of space and «own» place in the world; ways of conceptualizing of community space; values functioning in «our world»; types of expression varied according to style and genre criteria. «The Grain Store» is classified by the researcher as the artistic work connected with «new writing» or «new drama» literary movement. The texts created in the convention of «new drama» are characterized by deep social, cultural and mental engagement, cope with complex individual and collective experience, use the strategy of deconstruction in order to redraft the established ideological schemes and update the appropriate system of values. The text by N. Vorozhbyt copes with the complex theme of the Holodomor. The issue of creating human and society identity is in the focus of playwright's attention burdened with traumatic memory and traumatic generation's experience. «The Grain Store» has demonstrated that for the art, which deals with the problems of multidimensional and multifaceted intertwining between narrative, memory and identity, the theme of the Holodomor ceases to be just a historical and factual phenomenon. Trying to understand the causes and circumstances that led to the tragedy of the Great Famine, encourage the playwright to seek deeper meaning, which are behind the factuality and topography, through the consistent updating of the anthropological, axiological and ontological perspectives. The reconstruction of the language image of the world in «The Grain Store» has demonstrated the ways of conceptualization of inevitable destructive processes related to the destruction of the unique identity of the traditional Ukrainian village as well as the consequences of these processes for the functioning of a modern post-traumatic society.
