The femme fatale as a code of Viennese modernism. The article examines the image of the femme fatale as one of the key transnational images of European modernism. Special emphasis is placed on the Viennese ssecession context, as well as the formation of a new type of femininity in the archetypal images of femme fatale and femme fragile in the literature of fin de siècle. In the focus of the research is the transformation of these images in Ukrainian literature from decadence (M. Iatskiv, V. Pachovskyi, I. Franko) to expressionism (V. Vynnychenko). The article examines the ambivalent characterization of femme fatale in the works of Ukrainian authors, which reflects the reception of the image of the “new woman” – emancipated and threatening, awakening creative genius and at the same time associated with sexual threats.
