In Ukrainian literature, the 1986 Chornobyl nuclear disaster has come to signify the crisis of totalitarian representation and a distrust in the Soviet Union's grand narratives. As a post-totalitarian trauma, the Chornobyl catastrophe has also defined a new post-Soviet Ukrainian literature. Dr. Tamara Hundorova's presentation will focus on the questions of post-Soviet memory, generational gaps, and authorial identities of writers to explore the aftereffects of the Chornobyl catastrophe as central to the main paradigmatic shift in contemporary Ukrainian literature. May 4, 2022, 1:00PM CST.
