Language and aesthetic marks of Shevchenko’s poetry in the context of philosophy of culture

Abstract

The collection of essays «My Shevchenko» expanded the great library of the works devoted to Shevchenko. These are stories of writers – our contemporaries – how they perceive Taras Shevchenko, on specific events associated with the image of the poet, about the feelings, which his works provoke. The brilliant poet, artist appears in the author’s essays not as a bronze monument, but as a person, whose creativity is full of eternal questions of life, is in unison with moods, feelings of our contemporaries. The authors destroy the stereotype image of Shevchenko, common in Ukrainian culture. We can trace the characteristic features of the present in the personal perception of the poet, the artist, to understand why Shevchenko’s creative work exists over time and space, why we call the poet the Prophet, after all, why we say that Shevchenko created a new Ukrainian literary language. Indeed, there was the Ukrainian language, as evidenced by history and written monuments of the Ukrainian language long before the «Kobzar» by Shevchenko, a small book of 1840, appeared. But only Shevchenko managed to engrave diamond from treasures of people’s language, according to Panteleimon Kulish, only he could open all the power and beauty of our language. The poet Shevchenko met Shevchenko-artist and Shevchenko-graphic artist and Shevchenko, who inspires the work of contemporary artists inside the pages of small booklet «My Shevchenko». The article deals with the modern perception of language and aesthetic signs of Shevchenko’s poetry. Writers, composers, sculptors, painters go away from the stereotypes of the image of the artist that were common in Ukrainian culture. Speculation of the writer Maryna Hrymych, journalist Yurii Makarov, composer Valentin Sylverstov is an immersion in the philosophy of language and confirmation of Shevchenko thoughts about the integrity of Ukrainian culture. The creativity of Kobzar exists in their arguments over time and space, they are deprived of artificial metalanguage, and these writings confirm the philosophy and intellectuality of Shevchenko’s language.
