Mythological Codes, Features of Symbolism in the Poetry of Vira Vovk: Leading Motives, Semantic Decoding of the Image, Poetics of Artistic Realization

Journal Title: Філологічний дискурс - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 8

Abstract

The article deals with the collections of poems «Paradise-Tree (Sweet Cherry)» and «Voice from Far Away», authored by the well-known writer Vira Vovk. Her books were published in 2018, and therefore, they are still outside the scientific reflection, they did not fall into the sight of the observers of the contemporary Ukrainian literary process. The proposed research is the attempt to study new poetry collections of the famous Ukrainian writer in the perspective of deciphering mythological codes, Christian symbols, leading motifs, images, poetics of their artistic realization. It is proved that the mythological-existential codes in Vira Vovk’s poetry are expressed by artistic means through the internal esoteric voice of the lyrical character, monological and dialogical speech in the aspect of confrontation of thinking about the world system, its perception/non-acceptance, semantic connotations regarding the contrast of existence, reflection of the lyrical work on its own problems of ethno-cultural and national affiliation in the search for universal truths in the archetypal-symbolic perspective. It is found out that motifs, archetypal images come from the experience of the author, her universe, internal culture, idea.
