The research paper highlights the binary opposition of the masculine and the feminine in the urban habitus of Kyiv. The methodology of research of masculine and feminine aspects of urban habitus makes it possible to understand the connection of spatial dominants of the topos with all components of artistic texts. The masculine topos of Kyiv is embodied through the spatial vertical and incarnates the success of the characters, their socio-political life. The feminine habitus of Kyiv is embodied through the spatial horizontal and incarnates the “low” life of the characters, poverty, anti-urban leitmotifs. The research paper reveals Kyiv habitus in the epic works of writers of the Ukrainian literary group “Lanka”-MARS. The spatial characteristics of Kyiv and all components of poetics of works by Borys Teneta, Maria Galych, Hryhorii Kosynka, Borys Antonenko-Davydovych testify to the embodiment of feminine urban habitus. Valerian Pidmohylny's novel “Misto” demonstrates the binary opposition of feminine and masculine in Kyiv topos and represents the path of the character's ascent from the low (feminine) to the high (masculine) urban habitus of Kyiv.
