Abstract
Introduction. The object of research is the book of journalism by M. Slaboshpytsky «The Great War. 2014… Ukraine: Challenges, Events, Materials», analyzed in the aspect of anthropological reception. An important prerequisite for the actualization of anthropological issues in modern conditions is Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to find out the ideological and aesthetic features of the documentary and journalistic edition by M. Slaboshpytsky «Great War», to analyze in anthropological terms the problem of the confrontation between man and war. The methodology. The research is based on the achievements of literary anthropology. The article uses and interprets considerations from the works of Ukrainian and foreign scholars on anthropological approaches as a dominant humanities research. Cultural-historical, aesthetic methods, hermeneutic approach are used. Results. All articles, interviews, reports of the analyzed publication, despite the diversity of content, form a complex structural whole. They are united by the pervasive idea of protecting the integrity of Ukraine in a time of global challenges, when the image of the world and the image of man himself is being destroyed. Arranged in a certain chronological order, the space-time model of the book «The Great War» is based on the synthesis of real and psychological chronotopes. The publicist bases his reflections on the anthropological paradigm, revealing the character and behavior of our contemporaries, the impulses of his heroic deeds in extreme conditions. At the same time, the irrefutable facts convincingly reveal the cynicism and hypocrisy of the so-called elite, with the tacit consent of which Ukraine, its sovereignty and independence once again found themselves in a state of threat. Conclusions. The productivity of further research on the selected problem is determined by the influence of M. Slaboshpytsky-publicist on his contemporaries. It seems promising to analyze his work in comparison with those journalistic texts, where not only recorded but also reflected seen and experienced. The developed material can become a component of complex research of military journalism.
