Linguistic and Communicative-Literary Aspect of Ukrainian-Baltic Humanitarian Ties (Latvia and Lithuania)
Abstract
The relevance of the scientific problem is determined by the historical and modern relations between Ukraine and the Baltic countries, in particular, Latvia and Lithuania. From this position, interlingual, cultural and literary and artistic relations that took place in past historical times and continue in the present are of great importance for positive humanitarian ties. Nowadays, they are undermined by threats and challenges of a neo-imperial nature, the need to protect humanitarian and cultural relations that have historically developed between fraternal peoples. Their philological and linguistic and communicative content is considered, in particular, in Baltic and Latvian studies. Of particular importance in this context are literary and artistic (in particular, translation) ties that were established back in the transitional period (the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th century). At the level of literary and artistic activity, they flourished in the second half of the 20th century and acquired new content and forms since our peoples embarked on the path of Independence.
Iryna Pupurs (2022) systematized data on the characteristics of Ukrainian literature as part of Latvian-language translation studies; evaluated bilingual (Latvian-Russian) indexes, such as «Latvian Soviet Literary Studies and Criticism: Bibliographic Index» (1984–1987) and prefaces to encyclopedic publications, which contained information on Latvian-language translations of prominent Ukrainian writers and Ukrainian-language translations of notable Latvian writers. In 2024, O. Daskaliuk published an article on symbolism in translations of Lithuanian poets.
The purpose of the study is to establish a correspondence between historical cultural relations at the level of humanitarian exchange between the Baltics and Ukraine and the state of their historical development, considered in terms of translations of fiction of various genres, etc. The objectives of the study are: consideration of the source base; description of the history of literature in the Baltic countries and in Ukraine; and characterization of literary and translation activity in the Baltics and in Ukraine.
The research methods originate from various fields: linguistics and philology, literary translation studies (fiction) (comparative analysis); from cultural studies and humanitarian communication. Results of the study: a) the range of philological, linguistic-communicative and artistic-literary sources on the scientific problem is outlined (in Latvia, Lithuania and Ukraine); b) the main directions and examples of literary-artistic translation studies in the Baltic countries (Lithuania, Latvia) and in Ukraine are characterized.
Conclusions. 1. humanitarian relations between the Baltic and Ukrainian ethnic groups were formed back in the days of the Old Kyivan-Russian state; between Lithuania and Ukraine — during the time of the Principality of Lithuania and the Polish-Lithuanian state; 2. artistic and literary activity (primarily in the field of translation) in these countries developed even before 1991, and in the modern historical and cultural period it has acquired new features and characteristics.
