Abstract

The Ukrainian national bard Taras Shevchenko constitutes one of the best known lieux de mémoire and symbols of identification in Ukraine. The article engages with the imagining of Shevchenko in the texts of the intellectual Ivan Dzjuba. It focuses mainly upon the essay “Shevchenko forever” from 2008 and the changes evident in this version compared to a previous version from 1989. The article investigates Soviet continuities, as well as transformations in the image of Shevchenko that are connected to the gaining of Ukrainian independence in 1991. It shows how the text preserves its sense of contemporary societal relevance under new cultural conditions.

Keywords: Ukrainian literature and post-soviet criticism; I. Dzjuba; T. Shevchenko
