• Description:
  About the Need of BiographyThe author quotes an opinion that in the recent time Ukrainian historical discourse has deeply changed. The previous monopoly of Marxist language has been suppressed and replaced by discourses of modern humanities. Although this transformation is apparent, some Ukrainian critics are worried that it might be only a superficial adaptation to a modern paradigm of historical science: Ukrainian scholars have conformed to this Western standard of scientific discourse, but in reality they do not treat popular terms as actually working tools for analyzing their own historical problems. In the author’s opinion there are some deficient terms among ones so frequently used by Ukrainian historians, such as “identity” or “biography”. A new approach to the issue of biography, especially to the writing of biographies of those national activists whose life was affected by cross-cultural influence, is a crucial need of Ukrainian historiography.
