Художні особливості новелістики Галини Пагутяк та Ірен Роздобудько: проблемно-тематичний і стильовий аспекти. Українське слово в гуманітарних дискурсах деіндустріальної епохи

Abstract

The article explores artistic peculiarities of the novels of contemporary Ukrainian writers G. Pahutyak and I. Rozdobudko as well as the problematic-thematic and stylistic aspects. The analysis revealed that the authors are interested in the existential problems of human being, the key among which are the problems of loneliness, moral emptiness, mental homelessness, duality, absurdity of human existence in an absurd, hostile world. The real world, a sign of which are sick, crazy and homeless people, is contrasted with the fictional world and another world (Paradise) as the personification of the dream about happiness (G. Pagutyak’s novels). The concept of another world is realized through the motives of theatricality, the game (novel ‘Lover’ by I. Rozdobudko). The use of sleep technique, psychologically colored artistic details (uprooted tree and a tree broken with lightning), symbols (island, desert, shelter, snow, garden, house, mask, window etc.) and the semantic oppositions 'I - OTHER', 'I - HE' helps to reveal the inner ‘I’ of heroes, defines various dimensions of their being, reflecting reality.
