Metacultural Aspect of Creative Work of the Modern Ukrainian Composers: the Tradition of the Mother of God

Abstract

Relevance of the study. During the 20–21st centuries constant social and cultural changes can be observed. As a result, there is a need to update the usual vector of research. The article emphasizes the need for a special approach in the process of studying the state of culture, which will allow restoring a complete picture of the world without destroying the individuality of cultures in it. In the context of the phenomenon of the tradition of the Mother of God, this is especially true in connection with the universality and archetypical features of this image in the context of world cultures. The purpose of the article is to identify the specific development of the tradition of the Mother of God in the context of the concept of metaculture, with an emphasis on the importance of the author's reflection in the process of writing modern music in the context of national culture. The research methodology is based on the synthesis of existing knowledge in the field of cultural studies and art history in the context of the genesis of the tradition of the Mother of God and complements the analysis of modern music using the metacultural method of research. Results. Ukrainian sacred art exists not only in the context of national culture, but also throughout European metaculture. This is possible due to the fact that it is able to cross the borders of other Christian cultures with the help of universal images, one of which is the image of the Mother of God. The specificity of the embodiment of the tradition of the Mother of God in the works of modern Ukrainian composers manifests itself in the synthesis of traditions and the author's understanding; there is a reflexive smoothing of cultural boundaries with the embodiment of a transcendental image in the context of national culture. Novelty consists in using the metacultural method of research in relation to the figurative themes of Christian art, namely the musical tradition of the Mother of God. The author tries to trace the influence of the state of reflection in the context of the creative work of national creators on the development of culture towards its meta- culturalization. The practical significance. The paper may be of a particular interest to the specialists in cultural studies and art history.
