Kody pamięci kulturowej w poezji ukraińskiego Euromajdanu

Abstract

This article is an attempt to examine the phenomenon of the Ukrainian Euromaidan art, which reflects the issues related to the reinterpretation of national history. The main focus is on the analysis of the codes of cultural memory in the poems written during the revolution in Ukraine, i.e. in the winter of 2013–2014. A special feature of this approach relies on analyzing the poems not as a literary phenomenon but as a cultural process that initiated the psychological revision of the national history of Ukrainians and their existence nowadays. It is also emphasized that the revolutionary art demonstrates the development of the postcolonial consciousness of the young generation.
