СМАК НАЦІЇ: БОРОТЬБА ЗА КУЛЬТУРУ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ КУХНІ У ХХ СТОЛІТТІ

У 2022 році Україна отримала значний розголос коли культуру приготування борщу внесли до списку нематеріальної спадщини ЮНЕСКО. Ейфорія що виникла, породила чимало шкідливих історичних міфів та призвела до значної політизації питання. Сьогодні, це створює ризики у популяризації знань про цю важливу частину національної ідентичності. Об’єктивні, науково перевірені знання про роль та місце української кухні в частині ідеологічного, політичного та національного опору нації у ХХ столітті допоможуть уникнути пастки відомої під терміном “gastronativism”. Доповідь доктора історичних наук Ігоря Лиля про зв'язок між смаком, ідентичністю та баченням майбутнього. 


Доктор Ігор Лильо – історик і антрополог зі Львова, спеціаліст з європейськоъ історії та культурі. Він отримав ступінь доктора філософії в Львівському національному університеті імені Івана Франка і викладав у кількох європейських університетах. Зараз він є запрошеним професором на факультетах слов'янських, німецьких та євразійських студій та історії в Університеті Канзасу. Навесні 2024 року викладав для студентів бакалаврату курси Understanding Russia and Eastern Europe та історії України. Автор і співавтор кількох популярних книг з історії української кухні. Як співавтор книги «Україна: їжа та історія» (Київ, 2021), отримав престижну премію Gourmand World Cookbook Award в Іспанії.



THE TASTE OF A NATION: THE BATTLE OVER UKRAINIAN CUISINE IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

In 2022, Ukraine drew worldwide attention when the cultural tradition of preparing borscht was added to UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Yet, alongside the celebration came new historical myths and a wave of politicization that now risk distorting our understanding of this critical part of national identity. How can food reflect not only culture but also history, politics, and even national resistance? And how can we avoid falling into the trap of what some call “gastronativism”?

In this talk, historian Dr. Ihor Lylo will explore the fascinating connections between taste, identity, and visions of the future, showing how Ukrainian cuisine has become more than nourishment, emerging instead as a powerful language of survival and self-expression..



Dr. Ihor Lylo is a historian and anthropologist from Lviv, specializing in European history and culture. He earned a Ph.D. from Ivan Franko National University in Lviv and has taught at several European universities. He is currently a visiting professor in the Departments of Slavic, German, and Eurasian Studies and History at the University of Kansas. In Spring 2024, he taught undergraduate courses on Understanding Russia and Eastern Europe and the history of Ukraine. He is also the author and co-author of several widely read books on the history of Ukrainian cuisine. As co-author of Ukraine: Food and History (Kyiv, 2021), he received the prestigious Gourmand World Cookbook Award in Spain.



The lecture will be delivered in Ukrainian.

Discussion will take place in Ukrainian and English.
