NEOMYTHOLOGICAL SPACE OF THE DIARY OF UKRAINIAN-EATER BY IVAN SEMESIUK AS A PLACE OF DISMANTLING OF COLONIAL STRUCTURES
Keywords:
post-colonial, colonial, identity, orientalization, neomythological spaceAbstract
The article analyzes The Diary of Ukrainian-eater by Ivan Semesiuk as an example of unofficial culture, where the colonial structures of Ukrainian consciousness are destroyed. The author identifies elements and tools that create neomythological space of the text. There are ready myfologemas, mythonyms, concepts of mass culture, folklore, religious narratives among them. The image of Ukraine (The Heavenly
Empire of the Dnipro) is determined as a postcolonial image. It is focused on self-irony and ridicule of mystical agroelves’ defects such as passivity, peaceableness, ephemeral identity verbalized in mixed Russian-Ukrainian dialect, admiration of the past of the nation and rural idyll. The humorous debunking of the imperial myths is enhanced by search of military codes in Ukrainian agricultural tools, domestic animals and images of chavs represented by main god Nedayboh and his prophet Yig.
