Journal Title: Наукові праці. Серія "Філологія. Літературознавство" - Year 2016, Vol 277, Issue 265
Abstract
The article deals with the actual issue of modern domestic literature studies, namely analysis of the main autobiographical narrative trends of gender self-reflection in modern «women» prose and, in particular, distinguishing it from the phenomenon of «migrant prose» based on material of O. Drachkovska’s narrative «Nurse-Mother». The attention of the national scientific-critical society was drawn by originality of artistic understanding of the emigration phenomenon in Ukrainian prose of the last third of XX–XXI centuries. Studies by V Aheeva, P.-A. Budin, O. Vozniuk, T. Hundorova, S. Pavlychko, G. Skurtul and other domestic and foreign scholars which deal with various aspects of artistic life and creativity in immigration discourse of continental authors. However, there aren’t separate works which deal with the phenomenon of female «migrant prose» and narrative practices of its representation yet. The clarification of ideological and artistic characteristics and forms of ego-narrative objectification in the novel by O. Drachkovska «Nurse-Mother» became the aim of exploration. Research works on narratology by such scholars as R. Barthes, G. Genette and others became an important component of a methodology basis to achieve this aim. Consideration of autobiographical narrative forms was based on the ideas of works by P. Lejeune, G. Genette. The conclusions will con-tribute to a better comprehension of «women» prose of late XX – early XXI centuries. O. Drachkovska opened a highly topical issue of national modernity which is women migrant worker concept and managed to create a very realistic per-formative construct – Ukrainian migrant worker woman appealing to mass audience in a postmodern form of ignoring cause and effect coherence and time-space narrative sequence with the active involvement of dialogue through the use of external and internal textual pacts.
