At Yevheniia Butsykina’s lecture:
● We will try to understand the concept of irony, its history, and modern phenomenology.● We will distinguish and analyze the meaning and methods of application of postmodern irony (pastiche, parody, and carnivalization) and post-irony.● We will consider bright works of Ukrainian visual art from the 90s to the present day, in which artists are ironic, searching for truth or proclaiming its absence.
