Псалмодія Тараса Шевченка у компаративних студіях

The contemporary phase of the investigation of the religious sources of Taras Shevchenko’s art is not a well analysed aspect of literature studies, even though Biblical motifs in the works of this Ukrainian poet are still an inexhaustible source for literary research. The works of Taras Shevchenko contributed to the artistic embodiment of the Christian topography and inspired the artistic interpretation of the basics of patristics. Nowadays the topic of the Bible and Shevchenko is analysed in its interconnected aspects: general cultural, hermeneutic, linguistic, discourse and sociological, identifi cation and descriptive, comparative, intersemiotic, religious, etc. On the basis of the reception strategies of translation studies as part of comparative studies and cultural approaches, embracing the wide circle of social codes, conventions and representations, the article focuses on the typology of Shevchenko’s poetic adaptations of psalms in the context of Ukrainian literature, and religious, ceremonial and spiritual traditions.
