Донецьк як гетеротопiя в сучаснiй украïнськiй мiлiтарнiй прозi

Abstract

Modern Ukrainian prose reflects the realities of Russo-Ukrainian war that has been in progress for over eight years. One of the aspects is the life of average citizens in the occupied territories. Donetsk used to be a well-off Ukrainian metropolis. Today, it is the capital of an unrecognized republic, the territory of anarchy. The article leans on Baby Daughter by Tamara Duda (alias Seed of a Walnut) and Long Hours by Volodymyr Rafieienko to outline the specificity of representing Donetsk as heterotopia at conceptual, discourse and chronotope levels, as well as at the level of separate ways to narrativise the artistic world of the story.
