Strany: 13 - 23

Jazyk: eng

This article aims to determine the transformations of verbal and non-verbal codes in works about the Russian-Ukrainian War. It claims that contemporary Ukrainian literature forms: 1) a new kind of story about the war – that of the strength of resilience of Ukrainians; 2) a new type of narrative that combines verbal and visual (or multimedia) components, which emphasize documentary authenticity and deep figurative meaning in the interpretation of the Russian-Ukrainian War. Such a narrative is focused on documentation and metaphorical understanding. It is a unique combination of individual and collective traumatic experiences in a coherent text about war written in times of disaster.
