Rębacz is a short story written by Ivan Franko and published in Polish in 1886 in Przegląd Społeczny journal in Lviv. The work was heavily inspired by Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy, as well as the author’s relationship with a social and political activist Mykhailo Drahomanov, to whom Franko dedicates the Ukrainian translation of the story. The aim of this paper is to present a comparative and genre analysis of Rębacz, with a particular focus on autobiographical themes in the story. The article analyses the influence that Franko’s translation activity had on his literary work and demonstrates that Rębacz was an attempt to modernize Ukrainian literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article gives a comparison of Polish, Ukrainian and German written oil-texts, that is fictional and non-fictional literary texts depicting the oil findings in Galicia in the late 19th century. It shows the key notions connected with oil as a source of wealth or poverty. National antagonisms between Jews and Ukrainians or Poles dominate the oil-texts by Ivan Franko and Artur Gruszecki, personal success or failure is pointed out by the Jewish author Hermann Blumenthal and the Polish writer Ignacy Maciejewski. For Stanisław Szczepanowski, himself an oil entrepreneur, this natural resource ensures progress and wealth of the whole society, whereas for Saul Raphael Landau, a Jewish activist, oil as a tool of modern capitalism enslaves Jewish proletarians.

We use approaches from the theory of complex networks to analyze the Prologue to Moses, a poem by the Ukrainian writer and scholar Ivan Franko. The Ukrainian text (in the original orthography from 1905 and the modern one) and several translations into Polish, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Slovak, and Spanish are studied. Networks are built in a manner that links are drawn between words (considered network vertices) within a stanza. Seven network parameters are calculated: all-degree centralization, assortativity, average path length, betweenness, clustering coefficient, density, and transitivity. Their dynamics is analyzed as the vertices with the highest numbers of links are removed from the networks one by one. The data obtained for the human-made translations are compared to those based on machine translations generated by the Google Translate service. Peculiarities of certain translations are underlined. Tentative correlation between the values of parameters and levels of language analyticity/syntheticity are established. Prospects toward automatic lemmatization and related problems to be solved are briefly outlined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Peculiarities of studying the pedagogical views of Ivan Franko in historical retrospect are investigated. The socio-cultural and political prerequisites of French studies in different periods of research are clarified. The relevance of a comprehensive and more objective and diverse review and understanding of his heritage is argued. The importance of critical rethinking of the methodological approaches of Soviet French studies is proved. The necessity of systematization of pedagogical French studies and conceptualization of educational ideas of the thinker is substantiated. An axiological parallel between Franco and modernity is drawn. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to find parameters that can be used for classification of not very long texts, for example, by author, genre, etc. We go through various known parameters and analyze to what extent they are useful for the intended purposes. We also suggest some improvements that need to be checked further. We calculate the values of parameters at various points of text comprising N tokens (running words) counted from the beginning of text. As parameters with prospects of author and/or language attribution we identify, in particular, the h-point scaling coefficient, Yule's K, relative repeat rate, and the fraction of dis legomena. These parameters demonstrate quite stable behavior in N. Another set includes scaling exponents of parameters with respect to N. Certain modifications are suggested for Lambda and entropy introducing logarithmic corrections being powers of ln N. The results are applicable for texts of thousands to tens of thousand words.

The present paper aims to analyze the representation of sexuality in the prose of the Ukrainian writer Ivan Franko (1856–1916). Selected works of this author are presented in the context of Polish-Ukrainian relations in Galicia, then a province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and against the background of contemporary modernization-oriented ideologies, such as socialism and nationalism. The main objective of the paper is to present Franko's work with regard to how knowledge/power in relation to sexuality was obtained both generally in Europe and also locally, in Galicia. Those contexts functioned in a network of relationships between the discourse concerning sexuality and the emergence of a modern Ukrainian political entity. Hence, the paper's theoretical rests on the assumptions of Michel Foucault (1978) regarding the role played by the subjugation of sexuality in the process of constructing the subject. In addition, the text seeks to examine the genealogy of the representation of the body, sex and gender to be encountered in contemporary Ukrainian culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is an attempt to analyze the reprinted issues of the works of Ivan Franko Ukrainian public and cultural activist, writer, and the mentioned member of societies, based on the printed issues of two powerful centers of Eastern Galicia, the society of «Prosvita» and the Shevchenko Scientific Society in Lviv. Despite the popularity of Franko's works in the region and abroad in 1920-30s, the society of «Prosvita» published only 19 poems and some excerpts of poems in folk illustrated calendars. The publishing committe of the society made an interesting selection of writer's poems for publication in the adviser's books. Almost all works of philosophical and patriotic content, were incomplete and many of them were little known to the Galician reader. According numerous requests of the members of «Prosvita», they issued «Stolen Happiness», a drama on rural life in 5 acts, which was included in the «List of Censored Ukrainian Plays» authorized by the Polish authority. Shevchenko Scientific Society as well as «Prosvita», did not actively reprint the works of Ivan Franko (except two poems «Ivan Vyshenskyi» and «Zachar Berkyt»). The scientific research of Volodymyr Doroshenko has invaluable importance for Franko researches, historians, literary critics and translators. This author had been working for many years on the bibliographic Frankiana, but because of the war time and material crisis in Shevchenko Scientific Society, the publication was delayed every time. The reasons for the low number of reprinted issues of Kameniar's works during the interwar period were several: the social and political conditions of Ukrainian publishing, cultural and educational development of the people in the region, the difficult financial position of publishing institutions, the influence of the liberation struggle of the 1914-1920, literary works concerning everyday life, and customs and traditions of Ukrainians outside Galicia. On the other hand the young writer's radical position, his views on the organization of societies and publishing, his critical reviews and personal dislike of «Prosvita» and Shevchenko Scientific Society members all had some influence on the publication of the literary heritage of Franko even after his death. In the interwar period Galician people could read the works of Ivan Franko at the libraries, reading houses of «Prosvita» or buy them at local bookstores. Publishers had been very eager to advertise his works in their own catalogues, which helped the public to search an interesting or «useful» literature. At the same time, the Kameniar's works helped cultural and scientific institutions to shape the national outlook of Ukrainian people. Therefore, in spite of the policy of some publishers for literary heritage of Ivan Franko, he was one of the three most popular writers in the interwar period together with Taras Shevchenko and Andrii Chaikovskyi.

The problems of nation and national development of the Ukrainian community in Ivan Franko’s social and philosophical heritage in the context of modern Ukraine’s development tendencies were described and substantiated in thearticle; it was found out that the writer–philosopher treated the nation as the supreme form of the ethnic group existence, whose vital activity should be fully ensured by the state, and he considered the solution of the national issue in balance with the cultural and civilizational one – taking into consideration all the directions.

The article deals with the means of constructing a naturalistic character, the model for which was proposed by French writers: the Goncourt brothers and Émile Zola. Naturalists draw their personage concept from the interpretation of its biological nature. The focus of its depiction is shifted to the study of fundamental features of human nature rather than "variables" of the historical forms of its manifestation. A naturalistic character, being "a biological being" rather than "a set of social relations," is completely absorbed by the environment. The "social" core of a realistic personage is based on the principles of typification, but the "biological" core of a naturalistic character cannot be a generalized type because in it the individual prevails over the typified. Images of Germinie Lacerteux and Thérèse Raquin from the Goncourts' and Zola's same-name novels respectively are considered to be prototypes of naturalistic characters. In Ukrainian literature, Ivan Franko interpreted and synthesized Western European experience using realistic and naturalistic art to create his own concept of "scientific realism." The difference in Franko's personage construction lies in the fact that he does not confine himself to the observation and description of his heroes' behavior but offers a plan for correcting their deficiencies.
