Постколоніальні студії: Україна в постколоніальних дослідженнях

The substantive provisions of orientalism and postcolonialism are analysed in the article. The development of postcolonialism is connected with the publication of the book Orientalism by the American author E. Said in 1978. It influenced the evolution of postcolonial studies in other countries. The main lines of the postcolonial theory in Ukraine and its features are exposed. Carnivality, allegoricalness, entertainment and soft parting with colonial past are their typical features.
