| Title | The Past of Ukrainian Jews in General and Local Histories in Post-Soviet Ukraine |
| Summary | The thesis covers representation of the past of Ukrainian Jews in historical narratives addressed to the popular audience, i.e. textbooks, travel guides, general historical surveys, and museum exhibitions produced since Ukrainian independence in 1991. The analysis of representations of Jewish history in general historical narratives is supplemented by the local cases of Odessa and Lviv. Whereas at the national level, Jewish past has been effectively left out as incompatible with the master-narrative of Ukrainians’ striving for statehood, at the level of local histories, some elements of other-ethnic heritage has been included theorugh applying a cosmopilitan or a multicultural paradigm. Yet, unlike in other countries of East-Central Europe, in Ukraine this is a rare phenomena, while the domain of public historical representations is still defined by nationalizing histories. |
