Mariia Moklytsia’s communicative theory as a method of analysis of modern literary work

Abstract

The subject of the study is the philosophical, psychological, and aesthetic features of the author’s method of the scholar and writer Mariia Moklytsia, which was first used in the process of analysis and then in her own creation of modern literature. The basis of the research at the first level is also the academic works of the subject of the study, the author of “Modernism as Structure. Philosophy. Psychology. Poetics” (1998, 2002), “Fundamentals of Literary Studies” (2002), “Introduction to Literary Studies” (2011), “Aesthetics of Lesia Ukrainka” (2011), “Allegorical Code of Literature” (2017), “Modernism in Ukrainian Literature of the 20^th Century” (2017), monograph “Lesia Ukrainka. Deconstruction of Readings” (2022), etc. At the next level (a cradle for M. Moklytsia herself), there are the works of the founder of analytical psychology Carl Gustav Jung (“Analytical Psychology”, “On the Relation of Analytical Psychology to Works of Fiction”, “Synchronicity”, “Psychological Types”, “Psychology and Alchemy”). The purpose of the study is to comprehensively study the literary and artistic works of Mariia Moklytsia in the context of her own inventions and innovations (with a strong emphasis on controversial issues). A review of the resources of scientometric databases allows us to state that the novelty of the study is determined by the subject (the scientist’s work) and the comprehensive approach taken in studying it. The study uses general scientific methods, as well as methods of analytical psychology.

As a result of the study, it was found that at the origins of Mariia Moklytsia’s scientific and artistic activity, she developed from a detailed study of the properties of artistic means to their use as markers of a certain type of fiction writers and the direction and style of their work. In the end, it came down to reflection: the implementation of the coined concepts in her creative writing. In our opinion, the invisible goal of all these ‘experiments’ is the search for the Self (individuation), and the process resulted in the structuring and deconstruction of the achievements of the creators of modernism (in the manifestation of dominant literary trends, methods, and styles). Anthropological philosophy and analytical psychology (mainly in the interpretation of Carl Gustav Jung) became a guiding light on the path of her relentless search.
