That is a separate episode in their biographies, which characterizes both of them as extremely thorough lexicographers, talented linguists, and connoisseurs of the Ukrainian language. The subject of the study is K. Sheykovsky’s epistolary and B. Grinchenko’s review of the “Opyt yuzhnorusskogo slovarya”, which are intended as sources for biographies of scientists. The goal is the reconstruction of interpersonal scientific relationships, the peculiarities of cooperation between researchers using the comparative-historical method, source-research techniques and tools that made it possible to recreate a particular period in the biographies of scientists. As a result of the research, it turned out that the scientists exchanged individual fixed lexemes. K. Sheykovsky sent the published issue of “Opyt yuzhnorusskogo slovarya” to B. Grinchenko in 1888, to which he responded with a favorable review on the pages of the Lviv magazine “Zorya”. On the basis of ego-documents, it can be stated that K. Sheykovsky published the dictionary at his own expense, while B. Grinchenko helped him with advice. The scientists exchanged their own works, and K. Sheykovsky also sent 18 riddles with variants to his addressee. The letters contain information about the exact number of lexemes for individual letters in the dictionary. The epistolary narrative is saturated with details of life, which create a unique picture of the world not only of both scholars, of the scholars’ life at that time, but also of the publishing business, the life of people of science, and the attitude towards Ukrainianness in the empire. K. Sheykovsky’s letters are evidence of the material difficulties of the person actually exiled to the town of Menzelinsk, Ufa province, dangerous to the empire connoisseur of the Ukrainian language, who worked in conditions of isolation and persecution. K. Sheykovsky worked on “Opyt…” for more than 30 years. Censorship and his status as a dangerous Ukrainophile prevented the scholar from publishing it in its entirety. However, even the two volumes (in three editions) that were published were a significant contribution to linguistics and folkloristics and changed the understanding of the lexical composition of the Ukrainian language.","PeriodicalId":487556,"journal":{"name":"Синопсис: текст, контекст, медіа","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135561756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relevance of the study is determined by the active development of the Ukrainian popular science blogosphere and the identification of the need to analyze the main trends in this area. The purpose of the article is to analyze the popular science blogosphere using the example of blogs on the YouTube platform. The methodology of researching the topic includes social communication, axiological approaches, as well as statistical methodological techniques. Content analysis, synthesis and generalization are the main methods that were used in the process of scientific research. The novelty of the article lies in highlighting the features of blogs with audiovisual and textual possibilities for creating popular science content, as well as revealing the specifics and trends of functioning of popular science blogs. In this regard, popular science blogs on the YouTube platform became the object of this scientific research. As a result of the research, it was concluded that blogs, in which one can use audiovisual and textual components, are the most convenient means of creating popular scientific content. Actually, this meets the demands of the modern consumer of information. Based on the ranking and content analysis, it was found that historical topics tend to be the most popular. They are followed by natural sciences, astrology, medicine and psychology. In particular, the top ten popular blogs include: “Named after T. H. Shevchenko”, “History Without Myths”, “Damn Rationalist”, “WAS: Popular History”, “Interesting Science”, “History for Adults”, “Your Underground Humanitarka”, “Khmarynka Science”, “Universe UA”, “Pitiatko”. On the basis of the analyzed popular science blogs, the following trends have been identified: the presentation of material in the blogs has the characteristics of the author’s journalistic programs; the use of emotionally charged vocabulary, subjective judgments and other artistic techniques in the materials (in their titles, on the covers or in the videos themselves); forms of citation of sources of information used in the blog differs in differently themed blogs (their indication in the description is mostly absent in materials on historical topics, but present in the rest of the studied blogs).","PeriodicalId":487556,"journal":{"name":"Синопсис: текст, контекст, медіа","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135562023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Isaacson “Steve Jobs: Biography”","authors":"Yuliia Hlavatska","doi":"10.28925/2311-259x.2023.3.8","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.28925/2311-259x.2023.3.8","url":null,"abstract":"The subject of the paper is the linguistic aspects of personal self-identification in the literary biography. This work aims to outline the linguistic aspects of personal identity research. The topicality of the research is to clarify the theoretical grounds by which the linguistic aspects of personal identity actualization in the text of the literary biography can be revealed. The general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization), the contextual and interpretive method, and discourse analysis are used in the paper. The novelty of the paper is determined both by the object of the study and the angle of the analysis currently presented by means of the theoretical grounds. As a result of the research, it has been established that the matter of studying the identity of Steve Jobs is correlated with a number of philosophical concepts (self-knowledge, self-realization, self-identification, self-evaluation), the main means of implementation of which at the verbal level is the linguistic strategy of self-presentation. The starting level in the typology of Steve Jobs’ linguistic personality is pragmatic. Its main units are motive, linguistic strategy and tactics. The description of Steve Jobs’ self-identification, which is directly related to the realization of the motives of self-knowledge, image creation, and creative self-expression, is important for W. Isaacson, Steve Jobs’ bibliographer. The realization of the self-knowledge motive is based on auto-communication; this motive is not related to communicative strategies and is actualized through such forms of self-knowledge as memories, self-observation, self-analysis, and self-evaluation. The motive of image creation is realized through the linguistic strategy of self-presentation. The creation of Steve Jobs’ image is embodied through a number of tactics (self-praise, appealing to authorities, exculpatory self-defense, criticism, positioning himself as an example to follow, etc.). The motive of creative self-expression has a mixed character, since its implementation involves both an external (model) addressee and auto-addressability. In future works, investigating the peculiarities of the self-identification process of linguistic realization and Steve Jobs’ self-presentation in the literary biography “Steve Jobs: Biography” might prove important.","PeriodicalId":487556,"journal":{"name":"Синопсис: текст, контекст, медіа","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135562830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Ecclesiastes‘ voice. To the problem of communicative structures in lyrics","authors":"Bohdan Khikhlushko","doi":"10.28925/2311-259x.2023.3.4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.28925/2311-259x.2023.3.4","url":null,"abstract":"The paper discusses the interaction between the lyrical subject and the author in the context of the communicative theory of lyrics, using the poetry of the famous Ukrainian postmodern poet Yuriy Izdryk as the example. The question of defining the speaker (“voice” of poetry) and separating it from the real figure of the author still remains unresolved. The subject of this study is the forms of expression of the lyrical subject in the artistic plane. The aim of the study is to distinguish the lyrical subject in the poetry of Yuriy Izdryk, to understand its specific features and functioning in the poetic text. In the course of our work, we used the methods of hermeneutical interpretation, receptive aesthetics and general analysis. In the study, we characterize the peculiarities of expressing the lyrical subject in the lyrical text “Ecclesiastes 2.0” by Yuriy Izdryk. Thus, based on the study of communicative structures in the lyrics by D. Burdorf, it was found that the lyrical subject is represented by the pronoun “we” (in various forms), which belongs to the category of open “we”, which can include the lyrical subject himself, as well as other participants in communication. Based on the context of the work, where the reader is immersed in reflections on human relationships, “we” can mean the “I” of anyone who will deal with the text. The actual “I” appears at the end of the work, and it is in this part that the style changes: the lyrical subject moves from general reflections into the plane of a personified and intimate address. Based on the internal logic of the text, this “I” can be characterized as the “I” of a conscious, mature person with a lot of life experience, small ambitions and lack of egocentrism. Given the concept of the fictional nature of the poetic text, the “I” and its address to the “you” in the text are artistic imitation. From this perspective, the addressee “you” does not refer to a real person, and “I” is an artistic principle for building this communication. From the perspective of the reader, the text offers a wide field for interpretation. Reflections make it possible to compare the recipient’s experience with the concepts proposed in the text and, at the same time, to try on the role of the other, thanks to the personalized address. The novelty of the study is the consideration of the lyrical subject in terms of communication strategies. The results open up future possibilities of talking about the lyrical subject in the context of other poetic works of the author. Also, the results can be applied in a comparative aspect by comparing the lyrical subjects in the works of other prominent postmodern poets. This will allow us to identify specific features of the lyrical subject of Ukrainian postmodernism in general.","PeriodicalId":487556,"journal":{"name":"Синопсис: текст, контекст, медіа","volume":"250 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135561519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Being philosophical in nature, the book raises existential questions of the value of human life and the purpose of human existence. The subject of the study is the existentialist motif of despair. The problem is the peculiarities of representation of this existentialist motif in modern literature. The aim of the study is to explore the literary representation of the existentialist motif of despair in No Country for Old Men. The applied methods include close reading, which serves for the identification of the motif of despair in the novel, and character analysis, which helps examine the main characters’ experiences of despair and reveal their psychological and emotional responses to the existential challenges they face. The novelty of the study lies in offering a fresh perspective on the analysis of the novel in the context of existentialist motifs, especially the motif of despair. The results of the study show that in No Country for Old Men the existentialist motif of despair arises from the awareness of the inherent meaninglessness and absurdity of existence. The main characters constantly experience despair because the society they live in is devoid of meaning and is ruled by cruelty, which reveals profound changes of modern civilization. The protagonists belong to diverse generations and differ in their positions and ways of thinking, but they share a common experience of descending into the depths of despair at some point of their lives. The despair that they feel is caused by the changes that society undergoes. These transformations, also on the global scale, provoke alteration in the ethical norms engendering a pervasive sense of dissonance and moral ambiguity. The characters seem to assume that violence becomes necessary for survival, since justice proves its insufficiency, money and drugs take a leading place and substitute religion, and the value of human life deteriorates. The world seems absurd and devoid of meaning; however, the protagonists desperately try to find their path through the darkness and struggle to uncover meaning and authenticity in a seemingly indifferent and chaotic world.","PeriodicalId":487556,"journal":{"name":"Синопсис: текст, контекст, медіа","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135561759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The peculiarities of Movchan’s spontaneous materialism are the subject of research. The main problem of the article is the connection of each specific existence with the million-year history of the material world, humanity and a specific — Ukrainian — nation, reproduced in P. Movchan’s poetry, the role of this existence as a connecting link in the transfer of information (memory) from the past to the future. Cultural-historical, biographical, hermeneutic and formal (philological) research methods were used to solve this problem. As a result of the study, the images of the four elements were traced in the poet’s lyrical works. Different forms (water — snow, rain, well, spring, reservoirs, blood, etc.; earth — soil, clay, sand, stone, salt, etc.; fire — sun, light, ray, etc.; air — wind, whirlwind, etc.) of these elements become the most important in the life of the Ukrainian peasant-farmer, and therefore also of the ethnos. The primary elements are in constant motion, creating new things, objects, and phenomena as a synthesis of elements and their inevitable destruction. Only latent small imprints of the existence and transformations of matter in the form of energy (information) remain while reading. The preservation and the transmission of this energy to the next generations is the vocation, the purpose of a man in the world. The poetic world and the poet’s ideological concept syncretically combine knowledge of the global and Ukrainian national origins of existence, which determine the essence of our present and future life. Man as a combination of four elements, as a part of the primordial movement of the elements, is inextricably linked with his destined space, environment. Universal and ethnic memory as another name for energy-information unites a person with time and space, makes it possible to find and realize one’s own purpose on earth.","PeriodicalId":487556,"journal":{"name":"Синопсис: текст, контекст, медіа","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135561760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fact that media workers who create the content of information culture admit that most media still approach the interpretation of this media product from a liberal, free-thinking point of view is undeniable. The object of research is media culture as a factor in the system of social communications. The subject is carriers of Ukrainian liberal information culture. The purpose of the study is to reveal the key factors of the modern aspect of Ukrainian information culture carriers in the context of its free interpretations in the information society. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set: to identify patterns and features of information media culture as a means of communication; to outline the mass of information culture as a sign of free-thinking; to find out the functionality of free-thinking information culture. The methodological basis is a combination of general scientific methods and special methods and approaches to the study of regularities and features of information processes and phenomena. As a result of the study, it was found that information media culture involves, in particular, following one's own media, which have the authority of knowledge and experience. It is precisely in this that information culture helps to consolidate the content of those norms that are given special importance in society. At the same time, the consolidation of one specific version of the model of information culture becomes the basis for its content to reach the audience not in the form of its constant change and processing, but in the form of the creation of new symbolic meanings of integral complexes of no longer traditional meanings. Ukrainian information culture is a socio-cultural phenomenon that is still developing today. Having fixed one version of the content, this phenomenon does not so much try to interpret a certain traditional phenomenon of the “correct past” by its very essence. This leads to the need for new content, new contexts, new messages that take into account the necessary changes that have taken place, but solely based on the personal intentions of the audience.","PeriodicalId":487556,"journal":{"name":"Синопсис: текст, контекст, медіа","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135562833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the article, the author considers such a problem as a solution to the conflicts of a writer of the Soviet era (the opposition of an unconscious peasant and a conscious communist, revolutionary eros, and the love for a woman who becomes an obstacle on the way to a socialist paradise) in the creative plane using Andrii Holovko’s texts as an example. The relevance of the study lies in the importance of the issue of self-determination of Ukrainian writers of the Soviet era. The article aims to find a possible reason for the creation of the short story “On the Twisted Path”. After all, the use of the plot and artistic images of one’s own work to write another in Holovko’s early work is unprecedented and deserves a separate study. At the same time, similar conflicts are raised by the writer in the play “I Want” and in the “Autobiography”. Therefore, the method of intertextual analysis was used. The novelty of the article lies both in the research topic itself and in the inclusion of the writer's lesser-known works (“I Want”, “Autobiography”) in the literary analysis. As a result of the research, the author hypothesizes that, along with the obvious reason for creating the story (as a direct agitation, that is, a call to the soldiers of the Ukrainian People’s Republic to not be afraid to go over to the side of the communists), there is also a possible, less obvious one. After all, there is a possibility that for the writer, the work “On the Twisted Path” became a peculiar way of resolving the conflict of choice between loyalty to the revolutionary idea and personal happiness with the beloved in the creative plane. The story can also be interpreted as an attempt at artistic self-justification for the betrayal of revolutionary ideals by the writer himself. The author only briefly touches on the issue of the opposition of color symbolism and elements (blue, dark blue, lake, swamp as the personification of a peaceful life with a loved one; red, lightning, ray, sun as the embodiment of revolution), which may become the subject of a future study.","PeriodicalId":487556,"journal":{"name":"Синопсис: текст, контекст, медіа","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135561571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The achievement of this goal was facilitated by the use of traditional biographical methodology, in particular, the method of comparing the facts of the poet’s life with the epistolary records of his contemporaries.

Varvara Repnina never mentioned the artist’s work on the portrait of Dunin-Borkovsky. Vasyl Kasiyan believed that the portrait belonged to the brush by Dunin-Borkovsky’s wife, Hlafira Psol, but did not reason his opinion. Instead, Valentyna Ruban substantiated Shevchenko’s authorship, which the author of the article disagrees about, refuting some of her observations as subjective and arbitrary. Having studied the portrait of Dunin-Borkovsky, the experts from the National Scientific Research and Restoration Centre of Ukraine, together with Tetiana Kalinina, an employee of the Taras Shevchenko National Museum, also concluded that there are no grounds to attribute the portrait to Shevchenko. The editors of the new academic edition did not have strong arguments in favour of Shevchenko’s authorship, so the work should have been placed at least among the questionable ones, if not rejected altogether.

The subject of the study is the originality of the motifs in the collection “100 Poems”. The purpose of this article is to determine the variety of motifs in the collection “100 Poems” by Borys Oleksandriv-Hrybinskyi and to investigate the specifics of the nostalgic motifs related to the reasons for the poet’s external and internal emigration. Special emphasis is placed on the difficulty of going beyond strong melancholy and a new understanding of history and Ukraine in history by the emigrant poet from an older generation. Borys Oleksandriv-Hrybinskyi left a part of his life, and people close to him in his homeland, which is why sad, sensual and emotional poems appeared. The study was made possible by biographical and cultural methods, thanks to which the genesis of the motifs was clarified, and their artistic originality was assessed. The result of the research is the conclusion that the lyrics of B. Oleksandriv-Hrybinskyi from the collection “100 Poems” demonstrate both the optimistic and pessimistic moods of the author, as well as the fact that the poet is able to captivate with both a romantic poem and a civil-sounding poem, and a poem — a memory of the everyday life of his native land, about the reasons that led to the difficult path of emigration. The “missing the sun” and separation from Ukraine became tragic for the poet. Living in Canada, he was never able to completely separate from his homeland. Therefore, his nostalgic lyrics are sometimes likened to love lyrics. The collection is dominated by nostalgic motifs, based on the impression of what was experienced under the burden of the Soviet system, feelings of longing and sadness manifested in dreams and memories, and separation from the native land and family (the author’s mother). The most important device that the poet uses is antithesis, which expresses the reproduction of the struggle that was going on in the soul of the author and was caused by the forced departure abroad. The poetry of this collection has not yet been considered from this perspective, and that is the novelty of the investigation. In the future, other motifs of the collection, perhaps not so expressive, can be explored.","PeriodicalId":487556,"journal":{"name":"Синопсис: текст, контекст, медіа","volume":"261 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135562843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
