| Title | THE CONSTRUCTION OF UKRAINIAN NATIONAL SPACE BY THE INTELLECTUALS OF RUSSIAN UKRAINE, 1860S-1870S |
| Summary | Imagining the nation requires addressing two basic components – space and time, or, better to say, if it deals with historical imagination, – space-time. Considering the notion of “national space” as a crucial component for the process of nation-building this investigation emphasizes its constructed nature and explores the practices of its creation. Using a concept of a “mental map”, I would like to focus my research on creation of Ukrainian national space, underlying its constructed character. During the thesis I argue that there was no stable vision of Ukraine in the course of the nineteenth century. Although the first lively discussions started only at the beginning of the 1860s, already in the 1870s they resulted not only in the mental image of Ukraine, but were even reinforced with the cartographic image of Ukrainian national space. |
