Vasyl Kozhelyankо’s Dramaturgy as a phenomenon of modern Ukrainian literature

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to consider the originality and analyze the plays of V. Kozhelyanko in the context of modern dramaturgy and special subgenre, what is called "plays for reading". The novelty of the study is that the dramaturgical heritage of V. Kozhelyanko (in co-authorship with V. Serdyuk) became the object of a comparative study for the first time and has not yet been systematically introduced into the modern literary process in Ukraine. Research methods used in the article are subject to the comparative principle of presentation of the material, combine descriptive and functional-pragmatic methods of analysis. Conclusions. Architectural and genre-stylistic findings of V. Kozhelyanko in the dramatic genre of writing not only laid the foundation of his creative block, in particular the novel in the genre of alternative history and adventure postmodern and newmodern novels, but also formed a workshop of the latest creative tools used by other modern authors (for example, Neda Neshdana). The plays of V. Kozhelyanko are considered in the key of genre and style analysis. Having analyzed some aspects of dramatic texts (the image of the national hero, historical and political figures in the writer's parodic prose, historical and detective novels and the realization of the chronotope in them as a distinguishing genre marker, emphasis on the mental mistakes of the Ukrainian nation as the leitmotif of the creative intention of V. Kozhelyanko) from the point of view of structural , descriptive, receptive and comparative approaches of literary science, we have good reason to talk about the work of V. Kozhelyanko as an example of high-quality modern neomodernist work of the European level.
