Course Catalog Description
Introduction to contemporary Ukrainian culture in historical context. This course presents an overview of the literature, visual arts, and social thought produced in Ukraine and its transnational diaspora since regaining independence in 1991.
Class Description
How many Maidans did Ukraine have in the last 30 years and how did they shape the current agenda in Ukraine? Is Ukraine a culturally diverse country? How is the attitude of Ukrainians towards the environment and their ecological history connected with socio-political life? How do fictional representations open up new ways of thinking about catastrophic events in Ukraine (Holodomor, Chornobyl, 2022 war) and social problems (corruption, poverty, gender inequality, and discrimination)?
This course will help you find the answers to these questions and come up with more ways to understand and learn from Ukrainians and their exceptional invincibility.
