As a result of more precise specification of the culturological content of main terms (guest, hospitality, welcoming, guest gift, folk, urban, church and monastery hospitality, so on) two substantial categories, which characterize the historic and eth-no-cultural essence of hospitality, have been distinguished in conceptual and categor-ical matter.

In the thesis the following idea has got its grounds: the phenomenon of hospitality has not been treated yet as a matter of through scientific comprehension, has not been examined from culturological position, instead it has been researched within ethno-graphic studies. On the basis of their analysis the conclusion has been done that the Ukrainian mentality peculiarities are reflected in the hospitality. Hospitality as a real-ization of people’s everyday life forms and reflection of the world is regarded as one of the structural components of people’s mentality, psychic, intellectual, religious, esthetic and other peculiarities of thinking of certain community, social group or sep-arate individual, which are realized in culture, language, behavior and so on.
On the grounds of systematization and analysis of ethnographic, sociological, cul-turological, anthropological, geographical and other studies the following conclusion has been drawn: hospitality is a multi-sided social and cultural phenomenon which needs interdisciplinary investigation.
It has been proved that the specific nature of the Ukrainian hospitality is predeter-mined by the peculiarities of cultural and historic development, to a great extent caused by medial location of the Ukrainian ethnos, in the conditions of geographical neighboring with the population of the abutting territories, which tended to expand its habitat. The double function of the boundary collocation has been determined: de-fensive and regenerative stimulative; its influence onto local modi highlighting in the Ukrainian hospitality has been regarded.
Hospitality is regarded as a result of Ukrainians natural adaptation, which been in-fluenced by different inner and outer factors over a long historic period of time. Due to that hospitality is regarded in historical and cultural aspects as a component of the traditional everyday culture in correlation with its other elements.
The influence of the processes of industrialization and urbanization onto the specific nature of hospitality in the XIX cent. has been discovered. It was resulted in arranging public service establishments aiming at satisfaction of mass needs and mass service. Changes in family and individual everyday life as well as in the corresponding sym-bolic and ritual hospitality forms have been traced.
The conclusion about the sacral nature of receiving guests’ ritual in the Ukrainian hospitality has been made, its three stages have been highlighted: invitation, welcom-ing, seeing off; their content has been discovered.
It has been shown that the Ukrainian society of the XIX cent. was formed by the controversial unity of different strata and social groups, in the presence of common and antagonistic interests, which influenced the differentiation of hospitality types and forms as well as the procedure of arranging corresponding establishments for different social strata.
The urbanization processes predetermined modernization and application of in-novations, introducing the threat of chaotic state to culture, including everyday cul-ture, and furthered the development of urban hospitality. Perception of the urban area and its main square (maidan) as a sacral centre, evidenced about the renascence of the principal archetypes of the archaic culture, the contraposition “Cosmos-Chaos” be-longed to as well. Coming back to historical routes could be explained by fact that merchants, entrepreneurs, bourgeoisie in first and second generations still were con-nected to the traditional values system, so far being originated from the countryside and practically unfamiliar with the urban culture as such. |
