@article{Brodyuk_2017, title={HUMAN CONCEPT IN THE SMALL PROSE OF KATERINA MOTRICH}, url={https://tdp-journal.com/index.php/journal/article/view/67}, abstractNote={<p>The art of K. Motrich belongs to the little-studied page of Ukrainian&nbsp;literature of the second half of the XX century. The writer debuted in the genre of novels and short stories, including a collection of «Sunfl owers» (1978), later&nbsp;appeared novels and stories («Time of the shortest shadow» (1982), «Before the&nbsp;temple of love and pain» (1989), the novel «Morning» (1987), «The Night After&nbsp;the Rise of the Sun» (2001). Despite the artistic value of K. Motrych, many&nbsp;aspects of her heritage are not yet suffi ciently stidued. In the national literature, in fact, there is no holistic and completed creative&nbsp;portrait of the writer. This situation is due, in our opinion, to the insignifi cant&nbsp;number of researches devoted to artistic searches K. Motrich. Literary-critical&nbsp;thought is presented in the foreword to the writer’s books and individual&nbsp;explorations in the periodicals. Separate attempts to analyze the creative work are available in scientifi c researches of modern literary critics H. Vapsniak,&nbsp;H. Novikova, H. Onufrik.&nbsp;The mentioned researchers almost did not disclose the genre and stylistic&nbsp;features of prose of K. Motrych in aspects of subjects and issues, composition, art modeling of characters and so on. The man’s artistic concept in the writer’s&nbsp;small prose has not been adequate analytical coverage.&nbsp;The article analyzes the concept of a man in a small prose of the writer&nbsp;on the parameters pointed out by V. Marco in his work «The basis of creative&nbsp;quest: Art concept of man in modern Ukrainian literature» (1987), among&nbsp;which: volume; the basic principles (lines); ideological and aesthetic aspects, in&nbsp;which personality is manifested and realized.&nbsp;It was found out that the concept of man in early works by K. Motrych&nbsp;is expressed primarily through the portrait and its details, autobiographical elements, internal monologues, artistic anthroponyms, and others like that.&nbsp;The creativity of the writer is imbued with moral motives. The author seeks&nbsp;to penetrate into the essence of nature, to understand. First of all, the writer&nbsp;is concerned with the problem of personality morality, as, for example, in the&nbsp;stories «Lyubistok in the moonlight evening», «June thunder», «Memory of the&nbsp;verve fi lial», etc. The attention of the author of the collection «Sunfl owers» is&nbsp;focused on depicting the lives of ordinary villagers. The basic principle of the&nbsp;artistic concept of man in a prose of K. Motrich is humanism. The collection&nbsp;testifi es to the fascination of the writer with beauty, goodness and vice versa –&nbsp;her organic intolerance to evil. The plane on which the connection of the&nbsp;artistic concept of a man with the ideological and thematic spectrum of a work&nbsp;is embodied in the stories of K. Motrych presents the nature in the womb of&nbsp;which the human soul is reborn.</p&gt;}, number={26}, journal={Theoretical and didactic philology}, author={Brodyuk, Yuliya}, year={2017}, month={Dec.}, pages={4-13} }
