- Abstract
The purpose is to highlight the circumstances of the uprise and organizational evolution of the Shevchenko Society, the development of its book culture and educational activities in 1873--1892, to show the place of the society in public life and in the national cultural and historical memory of Ukrainians. Methodology is based on methods of scientific analysis and synthesis, systematic examination of social structures in synchrony and diachrony, historical-typological and comparative methods, methods of intellectual history and history of ideas, studies of historical and cultural memory, and bibliographic methods. The main results. Based on the analysis of cultural memory and book culture, the origin of the idea of society is analyzed, the intellectual environment in which it arose is shown, and the main tasks and publications in 1873--1892 are demonstrated. The birth of the Shevchenko Society in 1873 and its subsequent transformation into the Shevchenko Scientific Society in 1892 were Transdnipro cultural impulses. Its basis was the desire of public figures of Central and Eastern Ukraine to develop the Ukrainian project in Halychyna against the background of oppression in the Russian Empire. In the first stage (particularly in the 1870s), the new society faced financial difficulties and was closed and elitist. However, the 1880s became the stage of the expansion of his social influence, the transition from literary-scientific-popularization syncretism to the separation of science, popularization, and artistic culture. The printing house of the Shevchenko Society was a driving force for the spread of Ukrainophilism and the displacement of Russophile ideology in Halychyna. This means that the Shevchenko Scientific Society became a new, changed form of the Shevchenko Literary Society. In the conditions of Halychyna, it embodied the ideology of the university and the academy at the same time. From the very foundation, the Shevchenko Society spread and strengthened the ideology of the unity of the Ukrainian lands and was a center of enlightenment. Prospects for further research consist of a deeper comparison of the activities of the Shevchenko Literary Society and the Shevchenko Scientific Society against the background of the cultural transformations of Halychyna and Ukraine in general.
