PECULIARITIES OF STUDYING YURII ANDRUKHOVYCH'S POETIC WORKS IN SCHOOL

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the peculiarities of studying the poetic works of Yurii Andrukhovych in school. The focus of the research is on the poems "Astrologer" and "The Song of the Wandering Scholar," which are included in both the specialized and standard levels of the 11th-grade Ukrainian literature program. It is noted that Yurii Andrukhovych's works are analyzed in the context of the development of Ukrainian postmodernism, as well as the phenomenon known as the "Stanislav Phenomenon." A review of critical literature highlights the carnival and mythological elements of the writer's creative style, as well as elements of jesting as a form of playful interaction with the reader, along with irony, urban themes, and atmospheric details.

The study provides a detailed analysis of the poems "Astrologer" and "The Song of the Wandering Scholar," taking into account the theoretical and practical aspects that a teacher should consider when working with these texts. The article illustrates that the artistic space of Andrukhovych's poetic texts requires the reader to "decode" meanings.

Special attention is given to the titles of the poems, the imagery of lyrical heroes, and symbolic details that contribute to the deepening and expansion of the context. It is revealed that Yurii Andrukhovych often uses allegorical imagery and metaphors that expand the context, structure the temporal and spatial aspects, and point to philosophical issues. Generally, his lyrical heroes are extraordinary and creative personalities who stand out among others.

Considering the methodological aspect, the article suggests specific problem questions to discuss with students when studying Yurii Andrukhovych's poems "Astrologer" and "The Song of the Wandering Scholar."
