Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the genre and style dominants of the author's song of Kyiv in the historical and cultural context. Methodology. The solution of our research problem necessitates the use of a number of methods of cultural studies. Thus, the comparative-historical method allows to trace and compare the historical context of stylistic and plot-thematic dominants reflected in the work of the performers of the author's song, and with the help of these dominants. The functional method, in turn, allows us to interpret the essence of the concept of author's song as an internally integral self-sufficient genre of song culture. The scientific novelty lies in the comparison of the activities of the performers of the author's song in the process of their creative self-realization by means of translation of both general social and personal experiences with the socio-cultural realities of the chosen chronological period. The relationship between history and cultural self-realization of the individual is traced. Conclusions. The author's song accumulates a number of planes of song creativity. During the period of J. Stalin's political activity, the author's song was defined as an "anti-folk", "decadent", "bourgeois" cultural phenomenon (romances, student songs, satirical songs on topical issues). The popularity of the author's song led to the emergence of a wide network of associations of authors, performers and fans throughout the USSR. The author's song of Kyiv develops in parallel with the Russian-speaking tradition, where borrowing of traditions is only a component of the genre. In the process of gaining identity and autonomy, Ukrainian songwriting acquires its own genre and style dominants, which are associated not only with historical and socio-cultural contexts, but also define the national tradition as one of the key factors of integrity and independence of the genre. Factors such as the first concerts of Ukrainian-language songs and the appearance of performers on festival grounds contributed to the recognition and consolidation of genre branches of Ukrainian songs, and the definition of individual stylistic features for each of the lines.
