UKRAINIAN SONG VARIETY OF THE 20S OF THE XXI CENTURY: ANALYTICAL APPROACHES TO ITS RESEARCH

Abstract

The article examines the subject specificity of research approaches to the analysis of the Ukrainian song variety in the 20s of the twenty-first century, which as a scientific tradition was formed during the second half of the twentieth century on the basis of artistic and aesthetic, philosophical and cultural understanding of the examples of “mass musical culture” in the historical and social space of the so-called technogenic civilization. On the basis of this tradition, and taking into account the rapid change in the socio-political balance and artistic and aesthetic priorities of humanity, several methodologically different analytical initiatives have been formed to interpret the phenomenon of “pop” and its culture-creating role. Today, these analytical initiatives deserve to be considered from the perspective of the modern philosophical and cultural paradigm, which, as a “model” and even a “rule”, combines the measurable projections of the “image” of the Ukrainian pop music scene developed by researchers. These include an overview of its repertoire base with its artistic and aesthetic qualities, the “name image” of performers, technologies of the audiovisual and stage industries, etc. These aspects and analytical approaches to the interpretation of the Ukrainian song variety of the 20s of the twenty-first century are attested by scientific works according to their thematic and problematic formulation and the judgments made. In order to synthesize this research experience, an analytical approach to determining the artistic and figurative specificity of the Ukrainian pop song repertoire of the 20s of the XXI century is proposed by means of attracting the artistic and aesthetic category of “poetics”, which in methodological terms makes it possible to consider the content and formal unity of an artistic composition in accordance with its phenomenological and typological levels.
