Based on the theoretical definitions of a lyrical cycle (cycle of poems, sequence of poems) formulated in the works of Rolf Fieguth, Mikhail Darvin, Larisa Liapina, Ronald Vroon, Leonid Yanitskii, et al., the research outlines the main compositional, stylistic, thematic, and functional traits of Stefanovych’s lyrical cycles and demonstrates the evolution of certain key images in them. The material for analysis is taken from the collection of Stefanovych’s poetry published posthumously in Toronto (“Zibrani Tvory” / “Collected Works”, 1975). The special attention is paid to his apocalyptic cycle “Kintsesvitnie” (“The World’s End”) that demonstrates the whole complex of architectonic and stylistic features inherent to a cycle of poems, particularly the presence of the ‘cyclic subject’ defined by R. Fieguth as “the subject of all creative, especially compositional, acts which are the basis ... PaperRank:

The question of his personal war experience remains open, but the topic of war and the struggle for independence is an important element of his poetry. The material for analysis is taken from his Apocalyptic cycle “The World’s End” (“Kinetssvitnie”) inspired by the events of the WWII, from his patriotic poems dedicated to the heroes of Kruty and Oleh Olzhych, and from the fragments of his unfinished poetic works on the tragic events of Bazar (“Do Bazaru”) and Brody (“Do Brodiv”). Based on Aleida Assman’s descriptions concerning the peculiarities of memory representations in literature, the author demonstrates the main points of Stefanovych’s creative strategy. It is focused on the sacralization and mythologization of real places, figures, and events connected with the struggle for Ukrainian statehood in the early 20th century and the participation of Ukrainians in the events of the WWII. Stefanovych sacralizes space and time by putting the real tragedies of Ukrainian history into the Apocalyptic context and interweaving the motifs of martyrdom and heroism. In his poetic universe the sites of historical events become the places of worship, memory or trauma tightly connected with the paradoxical experience of military defeat that turned to be the moral victory. The typical stylistic traits of Stefanovych’s poetry are defined as the balance between the high symbolism and accuracy of naturalistic details, the extreme level of dramatic tension and exact moral accents.
Keywords: Oleksa Stefanovych, military topics, memory, sacralization. PaperRank:

The demonic creatures of Slavic folklore receive a new, sometimes ironic, interpretation and become a part of complex textualised world that is set in recognisably Ukrainian and Soviet scenery and filled with allusions to Ukrainian folklore and literature.

His fantasy stories, which are focused on the formation of the individual, combine lyricism with the intense expectation of miracles and are full of perilous trials through which the heroes must pass (The Dandelion Boy and the Three Keys, 1969; Peaman and Simpleton, 1973; The Red-haired Girl with a Green Bow, 1977). An important feature of these tales is Sharov’s deep respect for children and ability to address his young readers sincerely and seriously, without condescending or mentoring. The negative characters of these tales (the main object of this paper) are derived from folklore, but their interpretation reflects the typical realities of life under totalitarian regimes: egotism and longing for unlimited power, treason, cowardice, physical and mental pressure, suppression of freedom of thought and creativity.
Key words: fantasy, Aleksandr Sharov, images of Evil, totalitarianism, literature for children. PaperRank:

National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
The Centre for Fantasy Literature Studies was founded at the Taras Shevchenko Institute of Literature in Kyiv, Ukraine in June 2015. The main aim of the Centre is to provide the scholars writing on Ukrainian and foreign fantasy literature with opportunities for professional communication in the fields of literature, linguistics, art, culture, translation, etc. In 2015-2017 the Centre organised several workshops to discuss theoretical and practical issues of importance to scholars of fantasy (i. e. terminology of fantasy literature studies, genesis of fantasy, intermedial perspective in fantasy studies, poetry in fantasy, national versions of fantasy literature). This article is based on the paper presented during the 4th workshop (April 2017) dedicated to the role of poetry in fantasy. The Lais of Marie de France (12th c.) is considered here as one of the first Western European poetic narratives demonstrating the tendencies that later evolved into the “high fantasy” tradition. The article demonstrates the peculiarities of selection and interpretation of the plots and characters in four lais with explicit fantastic elements (Giguemar, Lanval, Bisclavret, Yonec).
Key words: Marie de France, lais, fantasy, fairy. PaperRank:

Having analysed the descriptions of landscapes and dwellings in the second and third chapters of “The Book of Lost Tales I” the author comes to the conclusion that the system of descriptions in these texts possesses the main traits of fractal structures: self-identity, hierarchy and dynamism.

The British Code in Fantasy Fiction as a Translation Challenge
The paper addresses strategies of foreignization / domestication as applied in the
translation of fantasy fiction. The presence of Britishness in a fantasy world is
analyzed with regard to its domesticating or defamiliarizing effect, both of which
problematize the choice of translation strategies. The issue is traced in the British
fantasy novel “Good Omens” by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman and its Ukrainian
translation of 2018.
Key words: Britishness, defamiliarization, domestication, fantasy, foreignization,

and their translation
The paper focuses on the types and functioning of onyms in fantasy literature, as well
as on the peculiarities of their translation into Ukrainian. Two modern German novels
written by K. Funke and W. Moers are taken as a basis. Onyms are assumed as one of
the important instruments of constructing a fictional world, because they create a
reference allusion and make the reader believe in the "reality" of the fantasy world.
The paper deals basically with translation of characters’ names.

A translator between “betrayal” and “victory”: the reader cultural
competencies and reconfigurations of popular culture
The article deals with the extra-literary factors affecting the translator’s work. Some
of these factors result from the fandom (the active part of the pop culture consumers),
social network discussions and the transformation of an active reader’s role from an
object to the subject of the interaction with the text. The named factors and their
impact on the translator’s work are specific for Ukraine. One of the most challenging
issues are the need of re-translation and the dominance of Russian-language books at
the Ukrainian market, as well as the necessity of changes in the publishing policy.

opposition of the sacred and the profane is viewed as an integral component of
secondary world-building. Major ways of showcasing the sacred in the fantasy world,

on its recipients, its ability to express existential meanings, to solve moral and
philosophical problems of general cultural significance. Considering the polymetagenre syncretism inherent in J. К. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, the interaction
of utopian and dystopian tendencies within the functioning of universal socio-cultural
forms is regarded as one of the key features of postmodern fantasy.

Tomm Moore's Celtic Fantasy
The paper discusses the animated films of the Irish filmmaker, animator, illustrator
and comic artist Tomm Moore as a specimen of the Celtic fantasy genre. Celtic
fantasy heavily draws on Celtic (Irish, Welsh, Scottish, and Breton) myth and
folklore. In his Oscar-nominated animated films The Secret of Kells (2009), Song of
the Sea (2014), and Wolfwalkers (2020), Tomm Moore creates an original secondary
world which is the combination of the Irish historical or contemporary situation and
the Otherworld inhabited by fairies, sidhe, selkies and wolfwalkers. In his films, he
researches the relationship between human and non-human, the wild and the
civilized, Irish culture and foreign cultures, the country and the city, children and
adults/parents; he stresses the importance of the preservation of the old lore and
knowledge and the necessity to keep the balance between nature and civilisation.
Through his artistic synthesis, he seeks to promote a new, more harmonious Irish
identity.

Terms Introduced by Fantasy Writers: Usage in Academic Context
While developing the theoretical base of fantasy literature studies the scholars face
the lack of special terms related to several important aspects of fantasy literature.
Meanwhile, prominent fantasy writers, in their essays as well as in their works of
fiction, create a number of terms to describe the key laws of fantasy reality (such as
secondary belief, inner consistency of reality coined by J. R. R. Tolkien, narrative
causality, white knowledge offered by Terry Pratchett, etc.). The paper aims at
discussing the possibility to use writers’ terms in academic research and to correlate
them with academic vocabulary and to integrate them into it.
