Book excerpt: This generously illustrated album-monograph is dedicated to one of the brightest marvels of traditional culture - the Ukrainian national costume. It is a phenomenon that embraces material, spiritual and artistic treasures of our nation. It is an important contribution because the history of costume mirrors many dimensions of human development and reveals the integration of body, mind and spirit as an aesthetic whole with all of its social facets. A comprehensive study of clothing preserves valuable historic information about national character and reveals many layers of social, casual, ceremonial and chronological trends. The research material upon which this volume is based, is especially valuable as it draws upon different aspects and diverse perspectives.For these reasons, Ukrainian national dress is portrayed as an important historical national phenomenon that was formed over the course of many centuries. It begins with the early Slavic period from the initial stages of primary clothing forms. It traces common and local Ukrainian features that have been evolving through the process of inter-ethnic coalescence during different periods. Striking reconstructions of historical costumes demonstrate an advanced artistic culture of Ukrainians whose talents were woven into a myriad of eras: Kyiv Rus', Middle Ages, Baroque, Classicism, and Romanticism. It is also shown how it contributed to later stylistic trends, all the way up to modem times.This book clearly represents 19th century Ukrainian traditional costume, complete with its classical local variations. Detailed cut outs and decorations, drawings of clothing elements and elaborate reconstructions call out artistic characteristics of our national costume as a distinctive aesthetic phenomenon. Attention is also paid to an analysis of the creation process so that one can see how technique and methods of composition present an inexhaustible source for contemporary designers and artists today.Complete artistic costume reconstructions are unique and extremely important because they are proven authentic by documents. Within this framework, a combination of the field, museum, archive, literature, decorative and scientific research materials hold validity. In addition to using reconstructions by different talent from different times, the book distills details from original sources reflecting specific historic periods. A broad scope of types of Ukrainian people adds another dimension to the depiction of evolutionary cultural processes.A Ukrainian woman has always had elegant taste and a refined sense of beauty. She would spin, dye, weave, and sew every detail of her clothing at home. The finished garment would be decorated by applique and artistically hand embroidered. Every element was intentional; each performed its unique function and carried a special meaning that would organically strengthen the general aesthetic composition. Both the creation of each costume component and the very process of dressing were performed with a certain consistency and were accompanied by special rituals. Costume details and ornaments always contained guardian symbols. All these components are fundamental to understanding the essence and dynamics of the Ukrainian character. The beauty of this unique encyclopedia of clothing is that while it is the historic definition of dress, it also delves into the aesthetic and ethnic riches of Ukrainians.The inexhaustibility of material and ideas about traditional cultures provides boundless space for methods of self-expression and implementation of new creative ideas and discoveries. It functions as a foundation upon which our contemporaries' talents can flourish. That is why this book is so precious. It is the result of the long creative path paved by its author - researcher, historian and artist - who shares with us not only scientific revelations, but a panoramic vision of the beauty and power of her native culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Canada is home to one of the largest Ukrainian diasporas in the world, little is known about the life and culture of Ukrainians living in the country’s rural areas and their impact on Canadian traditions. Drawing on more than ten years of interviews and fieldwork, Ukrainian Ritual on the Prairies describes the culture of Ukrainian Canadians living in the prairie provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Despite powerful pressure to assimilate, these Ukrainians have managed both to preserve their sense of themselves as Ukrainian and to develop a culture sensitive to the realities of prairie life, creating their own uniquely Ukrainian Canadian traditions. The Ukrainian church, an iconic though now rapidly disappearing feature of the prairie landscape, takes centre stage as an instrument for the retention of Ukrainian identity and the development of a new culture. Natalie Kononenko explores the cultural elements of Ukrainian Canadian ritual practice, with an emphasis on family traditions surrounding marriage, birth, death, and religious holidays. Ukrainian Ritual on the Prairies gives voice to a group of everyday people who are too often overlooked, highlighting their accomplishments and their contributions to Canadian life.

Download or read book The 'Change of Signposts' in the Ukrainian Emigration written by Christopher Gilley and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-25 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The failure of the attempts to create a Ukrainian state during the 1917-21 revolution created a large Ukrainian émigré community in Central Europe which, due to its experience of fighting the Bolsheviks, developed a decidedly anti-Communist ideology of integral nationalism. However, during the 1920s some in the Ukrainian emigration rejected this doctrine and began to advocate reconciliation with their former enemies and return to Soviet Ukraine. This included some of the most prominent figures in the Ukrainian governments set up after 1917, for example Mykhailo Hrushevskyi, Volodymyr Vynnychenko, and Yevhen Petrushevych. On the basis of published and unpublished writings of the Sovietophile émigrés, Christopher Gilley reconstructs and analyzes the arguments used to justify cooperation with the Bolsheviks. In particular, he contrasts those who supported the Soviet regime because they saw the Bolsheviks as leaders of the international revolution with those who stressed the apparent national achievements of the Soviet Ukrainian republic. In addition, Gilley examines Soviet policy towards pro-Soviet émigrés and the relationship between the émigrés and the Bolsheviks using documents from historical archives in Kyiv. The Ukrainian movement is compared to a similar phenomenon in the Russian emigration, "Smena vekh" ("Change of Signposts"). The book contributes to the study of the era of the New Economic Policy and Ukrainianization in the Soviet Union as well as to the histories of the Ukrainian emigration in the 1920s and of Ukrainian political thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ukrainians have contributed to the diverse ethnic tapestry in Detroit since the arrival of the first Ukrainian immigrants in the late 1800s. Bringing their history, culture, and determination to achieve, they established a foundation for the resilient community that would continue to emerge during the decades to come. Ukrainian neighborhoods formed on both the east and west sides of the city. This is where they constructed the churches, schools, cultural centers, and financial institutions that would allow them to maintain their cherished ethnic identity while integrating into the American way of life. This book is a pictorial history of the people and events that created a community that would come to be known as the Ukrainians of metropolitan Detroit.

Download or read book Black Square: Adventures in Post-Soviet Ukraine written by Sophie Pinkham and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A distinctive writer’s fascinating journey into the heart of a troubled region. Ukraine has rebuilt itself over and over again in the last century, plagued by the same conflicts: corruption, poverty, substance abuse, ethnic clashes, and Russian aggression. Sophie Pinkham saw all this and more in the course of ten years working, traveling, and reporting in Ukraine and Russia, over a period that included the Maidan revolution of 2013–14, Russia’s annexation of Crimea, and the ensuing war in eastern Ukraine. With a keen eye for the dark absurdities of post-Soviet society, Pinkham presents a dynamic account of contemporary Ukrainian life. She meets—among others—a charismatic doctor helping to smooth the transition to democracy even as he struggles with his own drug addiction, a Bolano-esque art gallerist prone to public nudity, and a Russian Jewish clarinetist agitating for Ukrainian liberation. These fascinating personalities, rendered in a bold, original style, deliver an indelible impression of a country on the brink. Black Square is necessary reading for anyone who wishes to learn not only the political roots of the current conflict in Ukraine but also the personal stories of the people who live it every day.
