Course content
The discipline introduces students to the results of the systematic study of domestic oral folk art in the 19th - at the beginning of the 21st centuries. in Ukraine and the world, mainly by leading representatives of Ukrainian folkloristics and ethnography from Kharkiv and Kyiv universities and academic institutes, primarily the M. T. Rylsky Institute of Art History, Folklore and Ethnology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The subject, purpose, main tasks, methodological basis, theoretical guidelines and problems of studying Ukrainian folklore as a socio-cultural phenomenon based on the structural-semiotic approach, namely the systematic analysis of the model of domestic oral folk creativity as a subject-figurative system - the semiosphere of traditional meanings, are defined. Examining the archaic mythopoetic model of the Slavic world through the prism of studying the essence of folklore consciousness and the genealogy and evolution of mythological images allows us to reproduce the mythological image of Ukraine as a worldview and communicative phenomenon and highlight the main features of time-space semantics in Ukrainian folklore discourse. Particular attention is devoted to revealing the scope and content of the concepts "folklore", "folk art", "folk art" in the light of the analysis of the problems "folklore and mass culture" and "specificity and main features of traditional and modern folklore".
