PHILOSOPHICAL AND LINGUOCULTUROLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF MODERN UKRAINIAN PLAYS FOR CHILDREN WITHIN THE REALM OF THEATRE PEDAGOGY: FROM TEXT TO STAGE EMBODIMENT

Abstract

The article provides a comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of contemporary Ukrainian drama for children and youth as a holistic philosophical, linguistic, and cultural construct within the theatrical-pedagogical discourse. The evolution of the genre is explored, tracing its shift from linear didactic schemes to complex axiological models that meet the demands of the modern recipient.

The purpose of the study is to provide a theoretical and analytical coverage of the potential of the modern children's play in the context of its didactic and stage implementation, to develop a genre-thematic typology, and to identify linguistic and stylistic means of forming national identity.

The research methodology is based on a combination of generation theory, a linguo-cultural approach, and systemic-structural analysis, which allows for the consideration of a dramatic text as a system of cultural codes.

The scientific novelty of the obtained results lies in proving that the author's idiolect serves as a basic tool for shaping the axiological orientations of the younger generation, as well as in identifying the mechanisms of transformation of a literary source into a stage product («educational turn» in the theatre). Special attention is paid to the analysis of expressive individual idiolects (Lana Ra, Oleh Mykhailov, Nadiia Symchych, etc.) as carriers of unique creative manners.

Conclusions confirm that modern Ukrainian drama has transformed into a multi-vector system, where genre and stylistic diversity act as a strategic tool for nation-centered education. It is established that the synergy of linguistic authenticity and interactive strategies of stage embodiment ensures the relevance of art to the demands of the «digital generation» and contributes to the psychological rehabilitation of the individual under the conditions of martial law. The prospects for further research are related to the study of the receptive strategies of adolescents within a multimodal theatrical space.
