Item Drawing the Invisible: Visual Reflections on War and Reconciliation in Ukraine(Національний університет "Києво-Могилянська академія", 2025) Herashchenko, OlesiaThis article examines the role of visual art in addressing the layered experiences of Russia’s war on Ukraine’s social and emotional fabric, exploring its potential to facilitate the restablishment of a new, commonly acceptable social agreement. It focuses on engaging adults from all regions of the country, including those in occupied and annexed territories, to create and anonymously share representations of the self and the other through visual forms (e.g., ad-hoc sketches and amateur artwork). The findings from a participatory art project, presented in this article, are used to assess the perceptions of individuals at the grassroots level regarding their own identity and that of their adversaries, as well as their emotional responses after revealing these perceptions through the artworks they produced. While the visual data obtained from this participatory art project is recognized as a socially engaged form of qualitative inquiry, it also proves to be more accessible and comprehensive than traditional methods such as deep interviews and questionnaires, particularly in conflict settings where language becomes increasingly devoid of meaning and words are often reduced to inflammatory or clichéd expressions. The article posits that artistic self-reflection in conflict contexts provides a deeper understanding of the drivers and motives of both the self and the other, leading to inner transformation that may, in turn, facilitate future conflict transformation. Additionally, peace researchers can use such artistic practices to identify and resist the violence perpetuated through media and entertainment, as reflected in the non-artistic expressions of conflict participants.Item Queering Socialist Realism: Serhii Parajanov’s Early Ukrainian Films and his Transition to Poetic Cinema(Національний університет "Києво-Могилянська академія", 2025) Briukhovetska, OlgaThe article argues that Serhii Parajanov’s lesser-known early Ukrainian films, created within the constraints of socialist realism, subtly challenged Soviet normativity, including heteronormativity. These works are characterized as a "double failure" — both artistic and ideological — as they reveal the operations of Parajanov’s creative desires, foreshadowing the queer aesthetics that would later define his mature poetic cinema. Focusing on The Flower on the Stone (1962), Parajanov’s final film before his creative breakthrough, the article identifies two key disruptions of the heteronormative framework of socialist realism: gender fluidity and an inversion of the Soviet Bildungsroman. Through moments of disorientation and subversions of ideological clarity, the film exposes the artificiality of Soviet norms while suggesting alternative modes of being. Employing the concept of a sexual-aesthetic nexus, the article contends that Parajanov’s sexuality — criminalized and used as a pretext for his politically motivated persecution — should be understood as an integral yet distinct part of his creative desires.Item Representation of the Mythological Pattern in the Image of the President of Ukraine V. Zelenskyy over the Period of 2019–2024(Національний університет "Києво-Могилянська академія", 2025) Dovhanyk, Oles’The article examines how archetypes are manifested in the image of V. Zelenskyy. A general description of the archetypes of persona, shadow, sage, child, trickster in the works of C. Jung is given. The relationship between the features of gods and titans in ancient Greek myths and the symbolic image of President of Ukraine V. Zelenskyy is revealed. The identification of the primary symbolic, cultural and mythological images in V. Zelenskyy’s activities was based on the use of critical-analytical, phenomenological, poststructuralist, analytical-psychological and psychoanalytic methods. The study has shown that V. Zelenskyy’s behaviour in 2019–2022 was dominated by the persona archetype. It has been demonstrated that after the first year of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, the Ukrainian president’s activities were dominated by the trickster archetype. This scientific and educational study is the first attempt to comprehensively analyse V. Zelenskyy’s behaviour through the prism of archetypes in the period 2019–2024. The novelty of the study is to establish an associative link between mythological gods and the symbolic image of V. Zelenskyy.
