Music Of Ukrainian Poetic Cinema As A Space For Constructing National Identity In Ukrainian Culture
(2023) Lihus, Mariia; Lihus, Olha
This 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.
