Tsyhovska E. Tsykhovska E. Artistic Time and Space of Leopold Staff: Comparative Aspect. - Manuscript.

Biographic time and space are outlined by means of modalities of past-present-future, differing on principle of priority, which is given by the author to this or other area. Biographic space is equal, according to the candidate for a degree to "inhabited space" (Paul Ricoeur) with the places of stay identified as "I was there", and therefore there is a direct interdependence between biographism and the writer's work with a simultaneous amendment on the possibility of absence of this biographic link. The author examines the childhood reflections in Leopold Staff's lyrics (and in certain aspects in interlacing with Julian Tuwim's), paying particular attention to not traditional embodiment of childhood as a lost paradise, but as primary "museum of things" of a personality where those objects create the foundation of childhood memo fund. It is accented on the change of semantics of objects coupled with contrasting of childhood space to the plane of maturity, modification of which takes place on the principle of both "lexical reversion" and, first of all, "semantic reversion". The important role of Lviv, Lviv University and its representatives in forming of Leopold Staff's europocentrism and aspiration of self-realization on other planes of the world is stressed. It is important that poetic and publicist debut of the Polish artist began at this period with determination of one of the main tendencies of his further work: nietzscheanism, franciskanism, glorification of beauty, synthesis of Christian and pagan motives. In comparison with the Lviv municipal text, which was negatively appraised by Leopold Staff, the "claustrophobical vision of the world" (M. G?owi?ski) of the war represented on the pages of Kharkiv collection "Т?cza of ?ez i krwi" and Italian escape of Leopold Staff and Michael Kotsubinsky from reality are built on contact relations of both and on an analogy between Capri plots, the concept of island and similar perception of reality and dream.
