Львова 20–30-х років ХХ з огляду на бінарну проекцію українського та польського бачення.
(The purpose of the paper is to present imagological specific of the prose by the Western Ukrainian writers M. Holubets, B. Nyzhankivskii and I. Kernytskii. The conflict of identities of Ukrainian and Polish discourse is observed in the cultural identity of the city. Lviv is a heterogeneous space of Austrian, Jewish, Armenian, Greek and other nationalities. This city have several versions of its’ past, its’ multicultural history. From the literary image of the city the history and fragments of individual experience can be defined, and gave new mode of perception. Text of the Ukrainian Lviv is interpreted as a conflict of own, alien and the other (stranger). In the Western Ukrainian prose written during 20–30s of the XX century and dedicated to Lviv the city suburbs is represented with the bounds between the city and the country side, between the downtown and the
provinces, and as the space that combines common features of both. Characteristically, that such type of the space is marked as peculiarly Ukrainian space in the city borders. In the analyzed texts the space of Lviv is shown in oppositions of city and village, external and internal, additional burdens have the images of stranger (in prose by B. Nyzhankivskyi) and the character
of the city’s subculture – batiar (in the prose by I. Kernytskyi). Special attention was paid to the specific of urban identity in conditions of dialogue between cultures and strategies of self-determination of Ukrainians. It’s concluded that on the example
of Ukrainian literature of 20-30s where Lviv was interpreted as a Ukrainian literary city, the space of city is built on a spatial oppositions and understanding of the urban identity occurs through the interaction with the other people and cultures.
