Item The Commodification of Music: Performative Dimensions(2023) Lihus, MariiaThe article focuses on the phenomenon of the commodification of culture that is analyzed through the prism of the art of music. The premodern, mechanical, electronic, and digital stages of the commodification of music are defined and discussed. The article demonstrates the narrowness of the critical theory approach in considering the commodification of culture as a threat to the cultural value of art. The phenomenon of commodification is reinterpreted from the perspective of cultural sociology. In particular, based on the ideas of J. C. Alexander’s strong program in cultural sociology, the performative dimensions of communication concerning cultural objects as commodities are considered. Such theoretical framework enables to justify the contextuality of the artwork’s “aura” and its sociocultural value as a collectively created meaning in the process of performance communication. The research demonstrates that commodification creates new opportunities for the performative success of cultural communication widening its contexts. At the same time, it is emphasized that commodification may lead to the degradation of the sociocultural value of musical compositions in case of the audience’s passivity in musical performances.Item Music Of Ukrainian Poetic Cinema As A Space For Constructing National Identity In Ukrainian Culture(2023) Lihus, Mariia; Lihus, OlhaThis article examines the means of constructing and performing Ukrainian national identity in the music of Ukrainian poetic cinema. Cultural identity is considered a dynamic performative process, whereas film music is justified as a performative instrument of the organization and construction of cultural identity in situations of shared experience. The problem of Ukrainian national identity is exemplified by music in Shadows of the Forgotten Ancestors, A Spring for the Thirsty, The Evening on Ivan Kupalo, The Stone Cross, White Bird with a Black Mark, The Lost Letter, and Babylon XX. Authentic folklore and author music are regarded as the main music dimensions of constructing cultural identity in Ukrainian poetic cinema. In particular, Ukrainian authentic folklore and modern performances of the folk melodies of different national cultures are analyzed as a musical foundation of Ukrainian poetic films. The article also considers neo-folklorism of Myroslav Skoryk, avant-garde musique concrete of Leonid Hrabovskyi, and Volodymyr Huba’s music characterized by a combination of national musical timbres with intonations of different eras and national cultures.Item Perspectives on Ukrainian Cinema: Constructing National Identity and Cultural Resilience(2023) Lihus, Mariia; Branco, CastelloCinema plays a central role in shaping national identity, particularly in postcolonial contexts such as Ukraine. This issue of Cinema –Journal of Philosophyand the Moving Imageembraces the fundamental premise of regarding film not only as an art or mass media form but also as a means of political engagement, serving as a catalyst for constructing social and political identities. Films not only depict specific ‘realities’ but also convey statements. Therefore, understanding how Ukrainian cinema portrays Ukrainian society, politics, and national identity, especially amid the ongoing military, civil, cultural, and political conflict in the country, becomes vital. All articles within this issue delve into Ukrainian cinema’s exploration of national history, deconstruction of imperial narratives, and construction of identity. Contributors analyse themes such as the mobilizing potential of Ukrainian cinema during times of crisis, the role of music in constructing national identity, and the cinematic heritage of Kira Muratova as a form of narrative resistance. Additionally, the articles explore representations of gendered violence, cultural trauma, and collective memory in contemporary Ukrainian cinema. By employing postcolonial perspectives, the authors collectively argue for Ukrainian cinema’s significance as a dynamic cultural phenomenon that reflects and shapes the nation's intellectual and artistic traditions
