'''Taras Voznyak''' (born May 11, 1957 in the village of Svarychiv, Rozhnyativ rayon, Stanislav (currently [[Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast|Ivano-Frankivsk]]) oblast) – Ukrainian [[Culturology|culture expert]], [[Political science|political scientist]], editor-in-chief and founder of [http://www.ji-magazine.lviv.ua/ Independent Cultural Journal "Ї"].

==Biography==

Taras Voznyak was born after his father returned from [[exile]] in [[Magadan]] (exile lasted from 1945 to 1956). The family settled in the town of Broshniv-Osada.
* 1974-1979 – Taras Voznyak studies at [[Lviv Polytechnic|Lviv Polytechnic Institute]] (currently [http://lp.edu.ua/ Lviv Polytechnic National University])
* 1980-1984 – Taras Voznyak serves as an officer in the armed forces in the town of [[Iziaslav, Ukraine|Iziaslav]] of [[Khmelnytskyi Oblast]]. During army service he translates philosophy works by [[Edmund Husserl]], [[Roman Ingarden]], [[Gabriel Marcel]], [[Martin Heidegger]], [[Hans-Georg Gadamer]], and [[Max Scheler]].
* After [[Demobilization|demobilisation]] in 1984, Taras Voznyak starts working as a [[programmer]] at [http://www.stanok.lviv.ua/ Lviv Factory of Milling Machines]. After Gorbachev’s thaw he becomes an activist of democratic movement and co-organises the first general strike in [[Ukraine]] (at Lviv Factory of Milling Machines).

Taras Voznyak was close to an informal group of intellectuals united under the name “Lvivska Shkola” (Lviv School). Ihor Klekh, Hryhoriy Komskyi, Mykola Yakovyna and others were part of this group, which was operating in [[Lviv]] in the 1980s. He organised the printing of [[samizdat]] culturology literature. He translated a large number of texts and also published within samizdat, in particularly the books of Polish-Jewish writer [[Bruno Schulz]].

===Editor - Independent Cultural Journal "Ї"===

In 1987 Taras Voznyak together with Mykola Yakovyna initiated the creation of the Independent Cultural Journal. The name of the Journal – "Ї" – was thought up by Ukrainian translator Hryhoriy Kochur and linguist [[George Shevelov|Yuriy Shevelyov]] during the meeting in Lviv.

The [http://www.ji.lviv.ua/n1texts/n1.htm first issue of the Independent Cultural Journal "Ї"] was published in 1989. Since then Taras Voznyak remains the Journal’s editor-in-chief and publisher. With the support from [[Sąjūdis|Reform Movement of Lithuania "Sajudis"]], the first five Journal issues were manufactured as [[Photocopier|photocopies]] in [[Vilnius]]. The photocopies would be brought to Lviv, and then they were stitched and distributed nationally in Ukraine. This is when Oleksandr Kryvenko, the editor of samvydav Lviv newspaper "Postup", joined the Journal team. In 1995 the Journal was officially registered – Taras Voznyak, Mykhaylo Moskal and Oleksandr Pohranychnyi became the Journal founders.

Independent Cultural Journal "Ї" is published in paper and electronic form. The Journal has long ago transformed into an influential NGO and a [[think tank]]. The main issues, which the NGO Independent Cultural Journal "Ї" is working upon, are the issues of civil society, human rights, interethnic relations, cross-border cooperation, multiculturalism, European integration, regionalism, globalisation and anti-globalist movements, ecumenical dialogue, political changes in the region.

As a leader of NGO Independent Cultural Journal "Ї" Taras Voznyak organises and holds numerous international, national and local conferences, meetings, round table discussion, and [http://www.ji-magazine.lviv.ua/seminary/seminary.htm other events]. He is the initiator and organiser of community campaigns on the promotion of cultural heritage of [[Galicia (Eastern Europe)|Halychyna]] – in particular the sculptor of 18th century Johann-Georg Pinzel, writer and painter [[Bruno Schulz]], writer [[Zygmunt Haupt]].

Journal "Ї" has become a cult publication in Lviv. Journal’s series have been reconstructing local identities of [http://www.ji.lviv.ua/n36texts/N36-mista.htm Halychyna], [http://www.ji.lviv.ua/n49texts/N49-volyn.htm Volyn], [http://www.ji.lviv.ua/n44texts/N44-zakarp.htm Zakarpattya], Bukovyna for many years. Several Journal issues have been promoting the almost non-existent Polish, [http://www.ji.lviv.ua/n51texts/N51-hebr.htm Jewish] and Armenian cultural landscapes of the region – [http://www.ji.lviv.ua/n52texts/N52-pol.htm Polish], [http://www.ji.lviv.ua/n48texts/N48-hebr.htm Jewish] and Armenian "uni-verse" of Halychyna. A range of Journal issues is dedicated to phenomena of the cities – [http://www.ji.lviv.ua/n29texts/N29-lviv.htm Lviv], [http://www.ji.lviv.ua/n56texts/N56-czerniwci.htm Chernivtsi], [http://www.ji.lviv.ua/n55texts/N55-stanyslaviv.htm Ivano-Frankivsk], [http://www.ji.lviv.ua/n63texts/N63-ternopil.htm Ternopil], [http://www.ji.lviv.ua/n62texts/N62-kolomyja.htm Kolomyja], Zhovkva.

In 2001, an honorary distinction "Order for Intellectual Bravery" was established (initiated by Taras Voznyak and Oleksandr Pohranychnyi), which since then has been accepted by [[Borys Tarasyuk]], Nataliya Yakovenko, [[Myroslav Popovych]], [[Emma Andijewska|Emma Andijevska]], Roman Viktyuk, Vyacheslav Bryukhovetskyi, [[Valentin Silvestrov|Valentyn Sylvestrov]], [[Myroslav Marynovych]], Hryhoriy Hrabovych, [[:pl:Andrzej Nikodemowicz|Andrzej Nikodemowicz]], Borys Hudzyak, Pavlo Chuchka, Yevhen Zakharov, Roman Petruk, [[Bohdan Osadchuk]], Leonid Finberg, [[Mustafa Abdülcemil Qırımoğlu|Mustafa Jemilev]], [[Anatoliy Hrytsenko]], Ihor Isichenko, Oksana Pakhlyovska, Andriy Sodomora, [[Ihor Ševčenko|Igor Shevchenko]], Yaroslav Grytsak, Aleksandra Gnatyuk, [[Moysey Fishbein|Moses Fishbein]].
