This paper focuses on the symptom of a “sick body” that symbolizes the phenomenon of dissociation and dis-communication in the prose of contemporary Ukrainian young writers. Homelessness, rupture of generations, autism, and loser’s self-consciousness become the existential modes of being in the works of young writers O. Ushkalov, I. Karpa, M. Brynykh, and T. Maliarchuk. The paper analyses an extravagant character of self-representation of their heroes and shows how a particular morphology of body, such as annihilated body, monstrous body, fetish-body, is brought about. Another aspect of this paper concerns the melancholic sublimation that takes form of kitsch images of pop-culture and serves as a means to overcome a syndrome of total homelessness in the post-postmodern time.

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.
