The phenomenon of the Ukrainian Maidan in today's media discourse

Social changes in a country generate new realities and new lexemes on their denotation. An innovation is fixed by the language of mass-media first-ever, because journalism, by definition of Ukrainian media scientist Volodymyr Rizun, is a "second hand of history". In the days of swift political changes active lexical composition of language is filled up by neologisms, that quickly become clear both for a native speaker and for world community. Public resonance has been obtained lately by the events in Kyiv`s Independence Square. Therefore, we decided to investigate the features of the phenomenon of Ukrainian Maidan in the columns of Ukrainian newspaper "Day".

The rise of cities: analysis of urbanization in Southeast Asia

In the second part of the twentieth century Southeast Asia experienced rapid urbanization with an unequal spatial distribution pattern. At least one city per country grew in terms of population disproportionally compared to other urban areas. Its major cities not only expanded, but also became mega-urban regions: urban areas of consolidated political, economic and social power frequently stronger than the wider administrative regions to which they belong to. This study explores urbanization patterns in Southeast Asia in the 1960s- 1990s and how they were shaped by the factors of economic globalization, in particular foreign direct investments and exports of goods and services. By projecting world-system theory on empirical analysis, the study suggests that urbanization and especially the rise of mega-urban regions in Southeast Asia were facilitated by the incorporation of national economies into the global economic system

Образ блазня: динаміка розвитку в творчості О. Копиленка 1920–30-х років (The image of fool: dynamics of the development in Alexander Kopylenko’s novel fiction)

У статті проаналізовано художню реалізацію образу блазня у творчості О. Копиленка. На матеріалі романів письменника «Визволення» та «Народжується місто» досліджено особливості функціонування та смислову трансформацію цього образу – від сміховинно-сатиричної традиції до проблематики юродивості та божевілля в літературі 1920–30-х років. Висновок про важливу символічну роль образу блазня в рамках літературного контексту доби надає можливість нового підходу до інтерпретації художніх творів цього періоду, їх ролі в соцреалістичній парадигмі першої половини XX століття. (In the article the literary realization of the image of jester in creative activity of A. Kopylenko is analyzed. Based upon the content of writer’s novels «Liberation» («Vyzvolennya») and «The City is Rising» («Narodjuyetsya misto») the both this image’s features of functioning and transformation of meaning are studied within the frameworks of humor tradition and problematic of god’s fool and madness in the literature of 1920–30th. In A. Kopylenko’s literary activity was observed seman-tic grading and dynamic of the popular at that time artistic image of a jester: revealing and radical trickster Antin changes to passive, inactive holy fool Vahrah. Writer managed by this symbolic episode to show the existential alienation and needlessness motif – Antin and Vahrah were in the position of «black sheep» because their views conflicted with generally accepted postulates of socialism building. Divergence of social development has caused a deep personal crisis, so these characters are endowed by clown features. The character of the earlier novel Antin tries to protest, but Vahrah which is character from the Socialist Realism oriented work differs humility bordering on madness. The conclusion about the significant symbolic sense of the jester’s image in literary context of that time makes possible the new approach in the interpretation of fiction.
