Description
Статтю присвячено опису зовнішньо-фізіологічного наповнення концепту «жінка», детермінованого віковими змінами образів, що репрезентуються фемінним корпусом українського красного письменства ХХ сторіччя. Проаналізовано образний спектр героїнь за шкалою «вік / зовнішня врода».
(The article is dedicated to the description of the external physiological content of the concept «woman»
determined by the age-related changes of characters described by the feminine branch of the Ukrainian
belles-lettres of the 20th century. According to the alternation of basic social and age-related statuses of a
woman in the feminine prose of Ukraine’s Diaspora, the actualization of changes in the external imaginative
field of the concept – represented by a wide range of descriptive types of different generations – takes
place. The integral unit of the concept is amplified by the sub-conceptual feminine-differential components
of a woman’s posture: tenderness → physical strength → drooping shoulders, which not only account for
the contextual (semantic) notion of «beauty / typicality», but also expose the inner depth of psychological feelings of heroines.
A great deal of characters of still young heroines may belong to the first type. Femininity, female defenselessness, selflessness, tenderness, and inner dignity become main features of heroines of this sub-conceptual series, mainly characteristic of representatives of intellectuals.
A transition period from one age-related category to another inevitably tells on one’s posture. The tenderness
of a girl usually changes into the physical strength of a woman who has material hardships on her
shoulders, who faces the challenge of providing for her family in the tragic times of history when the main
provider, the man, was claimed to be «enemy of the nation», was forced to serve in the army or had to do the
military duty at his own will.
The further semantic development of the concept «woman» in the feminine belles-lettres of the Ukrainian
exile takes place due to the external physiological sub-concept «drooped in shoulders» which actualizes
mainly age-related changes in posture.
Thus, the concept «woman», exemplified by the feminine prose of the 20th century, described by the female
author, acquires new bright aspects due to the imaginative visualization of physiological peculiarities
of heroines, which makes their images artistically perfect and at the same time – realism-centric.)
