Chair of Ukrainian Studies Department International and Political Studies, Jagiellonian University, Students 'Scientific Circle Ukrainonznawstwa "Wernyhora' Foundation and the Saint. Kievan Rus Vladimir the Baptist in Kraków invite you to participate in the International Interdisciplinary Conference on Scientific Discourse socialist realism in Ukrainian culture of XX-XXI century , which will take place from 1924 to 1925 November 2010 in Krakow.
The 90s of the twentieth century after the disintegration of the Soviet empire were born on the basis of Ukrainian Studies, both foreign as well as in Ukraine, a number of factors which should be conducive to scientific reassessment while displaying achievements of socialist realism, the phenomenon, all the fields, which makes tons of Soviet Ukrainian culture for more than half a century. Unfortunately, today, at the end of the first decade of the XXI century, social realism is still the least explored the link of Ukrainian culture, arousing further interest among ukrainoznawców unsatisfactory (falls here note that this is a very different situation than in neighboring cultures, such as Polish or Russian, where research on the legacy of Socialist Realist after the collapse of the Soviet Union were clearly increased, and today already have their established tradition and considerable scientific achievements.)
We can easily conclude that social realism in ukrainoznawczym scientific discourse after 1991 proved to be a kind of taboo. Probably worked here a collective mechanism for anti-colonial social euphoria that culture, being part of the Stalinist totalitarian state, with him gone in the past, along with it ceases to exist. This trend accelerated further strengthened westernisation of Ukrainian culture, which after the collapse of the Soviet Union with multiplied intensity made up for arrears, trying to somehow find his "lost time". Played a considerable role in this aspect and the mass culture with the release of the west, who earnestly sought to fill a cultural niche, formed after the expulsion of the content of social realism.
From the perspective of nineteen years of independence the Ukrainian culture but it is clear that it is impossible to close the Soviet period, without a scientific discussion, not revalue its meaning, place and role in Ukrainian culture. Because of this, perhaps even the near too, but it seems that the already quite enough time horizon, vividly shows that it is the socialist realism is the phenomenon that in a way that paramount has decided to shape modern culture. Surely it is time regarded as an elementary component of Socialist Realism was not only past and present of Ukrainian culture, what is more - one of the most productive lifetimes of its future, as clearly evidenced even work the youngest generation of Ukrainian writers, including: Sashka Uszkałowa, Lyubka Roan, Tani Malarczuk or Sofiji Andruchowycz (not to mention the previous generations of artists whose debut coincided with the 80s-90. twentieth century). This fact shows that the examination of social realism using modern test instrumentation, both from a historical perspective of self-identification as
and is currently the "urgent need" ukrainoznawczą. In the first place, it is necessary to find both revitalizing and revising the methodological plane, which given the specificity of socialist realism heritage, would restore this substantial period in the history of Ukrainian culture in the official circulation of the scientific community.

In the first place, it is necessary to find both revitalizing and revising the methodological plane, which given the specificity of socialist realism heritage, would restore this substantial period in the history of Ukrainian culture in the official circulation of the scientific community.
Therefore, we believe that the proposed theme of the conference can be a convenient starting point to begin not only to the wider debate on the Ukrainian socialist realism in the strict sense, but also bear a refreshing boost to the re- thoughts, from which the values \u200b\u200bat the threshold of the XXI century is constituted Ukrainian cultural identity. The need for this for a long time before regaining independence Ukraine indicated their fellow intellectuals of the caliber of Yuri Yuri Łuckij Szerech or, in the '90s Twentieth century - Oksana Zabużko, Yuri Andrukhovych, Mykola Riabczuk or Solomia Pavlychko, Tamara Hundorowa, Grigoriy Hrabowycz, Myroslav Szkandrij and in Poland - Ola Hnatiuk, believing that the real farewell to the totalitarian Soviet empire and the fall to determine their own national identity may be only if they get out into the light "demons of the past", the name and describe them with today's methodology, which is in a conscious and responsible przewartościuje attitude towards heritage. These authors also pointed out that undoubtedly will be a painful process, because the Ukrainians have to make restitution, not only of myths, symbols, stereotypes and ideologies in relation to the Communist empire, but also against the same phenomena in the national edition. Only then, according to cited intellectuals, you can talk about decolonization as an accomplished fact. I just outlined, in a spirit of scientific horizon offer the conference participants to lead a debate on the social-realist discourse in the wider culture of the Ukrainian XX-XXI century.
undertake research on the legitimacy of socialist realism in Ukrainian Studies also determines the need to revise well-functioning in Slavistics myth that socialist realism was a distinctively cosmopolitan, "trans-formation of" a sense of Soviet culture. In fact, this position has led to the identification of social realism with the Russian cultural area and, consequently, to resign from the deeper research on this phenomenon in the national variants. However, in light of the rapidly expanding post-colonial studies, supporting the colonized peoples in the reconstruction of their cultural identity, it can not be indifferent to this fact. After all it is worth remembering that from the perspective of the theory of socialist realism was "the one", but the level of practice (although undoubtedly a carefully conducted by the authority of unification policy) - operated in many national variants. And it appears, with the aim of the Ukrainian cultural dimension of social-realist practice was primarily conceived this conference.
intention is our desire to interdisciplinary look at the legacy of socialist realism in Ukrainian culture of XX-XXI century. Therefore, we suggest reading through the prism of her affiliation with the history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology and ethnography in a variety of research areas: literature, visual arts, music, theater and film.
Given that social realism influenced the Ukrainian culture for several decades, it is interesting to look at its historical narrative, ie both the origins, that implicit cultural roots stem from the 20s Twentieth century, as well as his already eksplicytnym next stages of development in the 30s, during the Great Patriotic War, the 50s, 60s and 70 and a terminal phase, ie the 80 Twentieth century. It is also necessary to describe the "life" of socialist realism, especially in the context of postmodernism, leading with him a variety of games, thereby enlarging, in a sense, his timing. Here we will also consider the relationship with other phenomena of social realism bright immanent Ukrainian culture , namely, romanticism and narodnictwem - especially in the colonial issue.
us will absorb a contextualisation of the Ukrainian socialist realism from the perspective of the various phenomena and problems: aesthetic categories, genres, topics, themes, creative practice of separate authors, and a handful of texts that have not yet been considered in detail. Under the insightful overview of the research we would like to be the question of socialist realism created by the canon and the Ukrainian pantheon of cultural icons.
