| dc.description.abstract | This thesis analyzes the formation and gradual development of national identity in Dokiia Humenna’s four novels: Dar Evdotei (Evdoteia’s gift, 1990), Khreshchatyi iar (Kyiv 1941-43: Roman-khronika) (The Cross-shaped Ravine (Kyiv 1941-43): A Novel-Chronicle, 1956), Mynule plyve v pryideshnie (The Past Flows into the Future, 1978), and Velyke Tsabe (The Great Tsabe, 1952). The research explores the way Humenna saw the circumstances and the challenges faced by Ukrainian society under two authoritarian and autocratic regimes (Nazi and Soviet) and the destructive effects of these regimes on the concept of national identification. The project utilizes the notions of myth, collective memory, and cultural trauma in understanding why society retains a certain group identity. | en_US |
