Journal Title: Наукові праці. Серія "Філологія. Літературознавство" - Year 2018, Vol 316, Issue 304

Abstract

Nowadays the study of the creative activity of the Ukrainian artists, who went into exile, is still a burning issue. Oksana Lyaturynska is one of them. She belongs to the major figures among the writers of Prague School. In this article, the main reasons for O. Lyaturynska‟s traumatic visions and their representation in the writer‟s creative legacy are analyzed. The outlined in such a way aim of the research requires the implementation of the following tasks: to single out the writer‟s personal live traumas; to analyze how her traumatic childhood and youth memories are projected in the child works of O. Lyaturynska; to analyze the impact of the writer‟s rootlessness and home-sickness on her poetry. While analyzing O. Lyaturynska‟s creative legacy, it is possible to conclude that the writer tried to forget traumatic memories of the past. Thus, in the prose collection Materynky (1946) the writer created an elusive world of the childhood she wanted to have but did not have. In ten years O. Lyaturynska wrote a collection of children‟s poems Bedryk (1956) where the happy world of childhood was presented as artificial and delusive through the utter absence of people (they appear only four times). On escaping the traumatic experience of childhood and youth, O. Lyaturynska faced new traumas, caused by the loss of close people especially O. Olzhych and then Y. Malanyuk. After having lost her second Motherland, the Czech Republic, the poet tried but was not able to accept the USA, and this mood influenced her creativity greatly. So, O. Lyaturynska‟s whole life, projected first of all on the image level in her creative legacy, is filled with psychological traumas connected with each other: the childhood which was not happy because of her despot father; the early death of her mother‟s who was the child‟s only friend; a forced marriage; the loss of like-minded close people; the loss of her home in Ukraine and in the Czech Republic; the disappointment in the Ukrainian emigration.
