Abstracts

EN

The newest aspects of contemporary postcolonial studies and the possibility of their application to the analysis of cultural practices in Eastern Europe are observed in the article. In the center of analysis is the deconstruction of the discourse of orientalism and an appearance of the phenomena of post-orientalism. Post-orientalism is viewed regarding an opposition between postcoloniality as a form of exotisation of the other by popular culture and postcolonialism as a form of inversion of a Eurocentrism narrative. There are two models of postcolonial writing studied in the article — a European romance in the contemporary Ukrainian writing and an immigrant romance in the novel by Marina Lewycka A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian.
