L’identità di Gogol’ a partire dall’invasione su larga scala dell’Ucraina

Gogol’s identity since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine

Anna Cavazzoni

Abstract


L’articolo si propone di analizzare il discorso sull’identità ucraina di Gogol’ nella pubblicistica ucraina a partire dall’inizio dell’invasione su larga scala dell’Ucraina. Gogol’, figura fortemente ibrida e simbolica della condizione di ‘piccolo-russità’, è ancora al centro di un acceso dibattito culturale. La questione di Gogol’ si intreccia alla formazione delle identità nazionali russa e polacca e al concetto di canone nazionale. L’inserimento o meno di Gogol’ all’interno del canone letterario ucraino esprime l’intenzione, da parte ucraina, di rendere definiti i confini tra le due nazionalità.

 

The article’s aim is to analyse the discourse on Gogol’s Ukrainian identity in the Ukrainian press since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Gogol’, a remarkably hybrid figure symbolizing the condition of ‘Little-Russianness’, is still at the centre of a heated cultural debate. Gogol’s question is intertwined with the formation of Russian and Polish national identity and with the concept of national canon. Whether or not to consider Gogol’ as part of the Ukrainian literary canon expresses the intention of the Ukrainian side to clearly demarcate the borders between the two nationalities.
