Abstract

The material of this study comprises the poetry of combatant writers Serhiy Zhadan, Maksym “Dali” Kryvtsov, and Yurii Ruf. The subject of analysis is the textual representations of the concept of memory and civic identity. The examination of their poetic works reveals an anthropological dimension in which the central ontological questions are “Who am I? What is life?”. In Serhiy Zhadan’s works, the concept of memory is manifested primarily within a mythosemiotic paradigm through the imagery of trees, stones, and birds. In Maksym “Dali” Kryvtsov’s poetry, the concept of memory is realized onomastically (through proper names and toponyms), as well as through imagery belonging, in particular, to the vegetative-floral mythological code. The chronotope of the field is interpreted as the chronotope of historical memory. In Yuriy Ruf’s poems, the hypostases of the lyrical hero – “I,” “You,” and “We”– unfold variations of civic identity through the motifs of personal choice, mythological scenarios of initiation, and related symbolic structures.
