In addition, she based on the text of the novel reconstructs the imaginary topografy Buchach (in the form of narrative maps) that is deeply entwined with sensory codes of forming a separate level of experience space and creating cultural landscape. These factors are important in the design of the possible tour routes (Agnon routes), and also to establish the general Buchach imagology.

The music of the spheres, derived from one of the oldest concepts of a single, cohesive nature of the world, has had a long history dating back to the Pythagoreans’ writings, and alongside other representations of music as a fundamental principle of the existence and functioning of the world and humans, forms a separate set of ideas that a German musicologist, Walter Wiora, referred to as transmusical. The “cosmic” dimension of musical representations is irreversibly connected with the idea of the musical essence of human soul that baffles all rational interpretations. Such approaches to music correspond thus to the two ways of viewing human beings — looking up towards the stars or inside themselves towards the depth of their souls — which reflect the musical ideas of culture circulating in Europe. Both tendencies were reconciled, to some extent, in the philosophical and artistic practices of the early 20th century, when the representation of the musical became the foundation for a new language of art, especially in poetry and painting. This is perfectly illustrated by works of the Ukrainian poet Pavlo Tychyna and the Lithuanian painter and composer Mikalojus Konstantinas Čurlionis.

Drawing on contemporary reflections on time and temporality (A. Assman, A. Huyssen, R. Koselleck), the author of the article analyses lively discussions about the past, the present and the future of Ukrainian culture that were taking place in the first few decades of the 20th century. Generally opposing cultural projects — national-positivist and modernist — focused on the future which was to be marked by a “national revival.” The author examines its vision as presented by the artistic avant-garde and, in greater detail, the dilemmas, proposals and solutions that can be found in theoretical statements and artistic output of Mikhail Semenko. She explores the inner tensions of the futurist programme as well as external factors preventing its implementation. Despite the failure of this artistic avant-garde of the past, it still proves to be interesting as a bold attempt to break with the casual continuity of the historical process, an attempt made in the sphere of art, but one that had far-reaching consequences, because it concerned, in fact, the temporal experience.

Gansiniec was a professor of Classics at John Casimir University in Lviv (1919-1939, 1944-1946). He remained in Lviv during the Second World War, but he was forced into exile by the Soviet regime and had to leave Lviv in 1946. His notes contain detailed descriptions of the changes in the city and hostile comments addressed to the new regime. He believed that Lviv would remain a Polish city. In fact, his Polish nationalist ideology, classical education and personal qualities, such as an uncompromising nature, lter the image of the city presented in his journal. ese descriptions of the city give us an opportunity to reconstruct the audiosphere of the city and analyse how sensitivity to sounds changed in the new culture. e historical fate of Eastern Europe during the twentieth century was marked by the domination of nationalistic ideology and totalitarian regimes, the tragic events of two world wars and two genocides (the Holocaust and the Holodomor), mass resettlement, and a sea change in the cultural landscape, deprived of the variety and polyphony developed over the centuries. Re ection on that di cult history has become an important part of the process of reconstructing the national identity of countries in the region that are experiencing political, economic and social transformations. Within this context, the case of Lviv-a city on the cultural border, now a Ukrainian city with a complex and not entirely accepted history-attracts the attention of historians, 1 who, especially in recent years, have proposed a more complex and controversial picture of the relationship between the various ideological, national and cultural projects implemented within the space of the city. In addition to works that build up an overall picture of events and 1 e.g. Snyder, Bloodlands.
