Places of Memory, Collective Memory and Changing Identities in Vasyl Makhno’s Novel-Chronicle Eternal Calendar
Abstract
Literature can be a special locus identitas that combines individual and collective identity, collective memory and places of memory into a literary and artistic integrity. The novel-chronicle Eternal Calendar by the Ukrainian writer Vasyl Makhno is a special artistic revelation, an artistic study of locus identitas from the perspective of almost four centuries of several ethnic (national) groups in a special locus where the borders of several states and empires converged and diverged. At the intersection of three different days, cultures, politics, and history, in a special chronotope, the characters of the work develop their individuality, their socialization in a multilingual and cultural space. The novel artistically reproduces the dynamics of mutual influences and interaction of human existences, which are that are born, live and manifest as artistic modeling of both individual and national cross-cultural identities.
