Résumé
This essay explores the Uniate Catholic Church of Ukraine and its recent successes in resource allocation in the capital city of Kyiv. Positing that the social use of space allows a people to negotiate the geographies of power that surround them, this article argues that, in excavating the ideology inscribed in their architectural style and spatial appropriations, we come to understand the ways in which the Uniate community in Kyiv is articulating a unique post-Soviet identity.
Résumé
Cet article examine l’église catholique uniate d’Ukraine et ses récents succès dans les lieux de son implantation dans la capitale de Kiev. En assumant que l’usage social de l’espace permet à une population de négocier la géographie du pouvoir qui l’entoure, cet article soutient que, par la mise au jour de l’idéologie inscrite dans le style architectural et les appropriations spatiales, nous pouvons parvenir à comprendre par quels moyens la communauté uniate de Kiev parvient à articuler une identité postsoviétique unique.
