ПОНЯТТЯ ЛІТЕРАТУРНОЇ СПІЛЬНОТИ У ПРАКТИЦІ УКРАЇНСЬКОГО ЛІТЕРАТУРОЗНАВСТВІ

Abstract

Article focuses attention on the concept`s functioning of the literature group in the research practice of Ukrainian literary critics, dedicated to Ukrainian literary process of xx century, actualized by the historical and literary material itself. The theoretical inadequacy in the definition of the community and its types, caused by the long colonial status of Ukraine and its humanitarian sphere is observed. The aim is to single out the communities with which Ukrainian science works («Moloda Muza», «Prague School», «Vistnyk group»), and to use their example to find out the semantic components of working definitions, which are associated with the identification of the phenomenon within the type range, as well as to update those methodological approaches that allow scientists to fully reconstruct the social group. As a result, the actualized national proposals can become the basis for further theoretical and methodological developments, a model for the study of those social groups that are part of the discourse of literary criticism. The principle of historicism, the postcolonial, national-existential approach, the elements of the structural-generational approach quell the explorations devoted to the communities of the first third of the twentieth century, the socio-economic one is partially actualized, which is directly related to the industrial characteristics of the «Shot Renaissance2 literature. In general, when comprehending the community in the literature, it is necessary to involve non-artistic factors that reveal it in all its historical and literary completeness as a social structure at a certain historical stage.
