Abstract:

The paper presents an interpretation of Joyce’s work as symbolist. After outlining the history of the codification of Joyce’s works, V.M. Tolmatchoff proposed to return to the advantages of Joyce’s vision as a symbolist, proposed in general terms by E. Wilson in 1931. This symbolism, declared by Irish authors in the twentieth century and systematically realized by Joyce, genetically goes back not only to the practice of the French Symbolist poets, W.B. Yeats, as well as to the experience of the ‘death of God’ declared by Nietzsche (who shifted the understanding of symbolism from the reform of

Abstract:

Abstract Cultural landscapes are multi-layered entities that constantly endure changes and transformations, especially in Europe due to its ancient history and anthropized nature, which reveals itself not only in physical elements, but also through immaterial heritage. This paper aims to analyse the connection between sacred landscapes, small religious architecture and folklore, focusing on the origin and transformations of several places in Galicia (northwest of Spain). Galicia is defined by its rich flora and fauna, a management of its land based on smallholding and the social idiosyncrasy o

Abstract:

In contemporary development, feminism is divided into two major trends, that of difference and that of equality. The former tends to rely more on ontology and religious symbolism, and the latter on sociology and political praxis. This paper aims to show that this antagonism has as its background the complementarity and unity between both approaches, which are based on religious symbolism. Religious symbolism has both an ontological value and a sociological value, which give both internal consistency and external form to society.

The passage from sacred to secular space confers on religious space a wider functionality that will allow the incorporation of an abstract and open spatial symbolism to different perceptions of the divine to see, feel or invoke God. According to Rudolf Otto, on the Protestant churches the architectonic expression of the numinous is made by three fundamental elements of representation: obscurity, silence and emptiness. As elements that conceptually oppose the concrete or definitive symbol, they acquire a universal meaning that modern architecture itself will incorporate as a process of artistic

Through these numbers, Firdausi not only structures his narrative but also imbues it with layers of divine and cosmic significance. The number one represents unity and the divine essence, while three symbolizes completeness and perfection, and seven reflects the sacred and c

Sacred Prayer Flags of different colours and symbols are not just decorative pieces. Symbols have more deeper meaning and the attached intangible beliefs than their mere outer creativity. Each and every colour and objects symbolizes good fortune, health, happiness, protection. The prayer flags are very sacred, because they contain texts from the holy sutras termed as 'mantras' and symbols that should be respected. Hence the painted or printed objects and colours are of great values to humanity.

In a secularized society, on the base of the rapid development of technologization and globalization, we also observe an intensive "return" of the sacred. It "returns" with the growth of nostalgia for the personalism of social relationships. And this return is reflected, in particular, through the phenomena of contemporary art – some of them are filled with appropriate symbolism and emotional atmosphere. Undoubtedly, there is no historical period, which would be characterized by complete secularization and the absence of any sacredness. However, in the modern era, the uniqueness of the sacred

SACRED AND LUDIC SYMBOLS OF A GOLDFINCH IN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE The article is dedicated to symbolic representations of szczygieł (a goldfinch) in Polish language and culture, taking into account the European cultural background. The author presents the process of symbolization of the sacred and ludic profile of a goldfinch as a representative of avifauna based on linguistic data (etymology, phrasematics), text data (literature and folklore), as well as on iconography. References to Western European painting made it possible for the author to present the multiple layers of a goldfinch symbolis

Abstract:

The image of a dog holds a special place in the culture and mythology of many peoples. This study examines how the dog became a sacred symbol associated with the afterworld, ancestral land, and subterranean realms. Using mythological texts, archaeological data, and linguistic analysis, the research identifies unique cultural and universal patterns in stable expressions about dogs in Kazakh and English. The study employs S. Qondybay's mytholinguistic method and comparative analysis to uncover the sacred and symbolic meanings of these expressions. The findings reveal that the dog is often seen a

Abstract:

Sacred spaces, such as Iberian caves, with liminal location and character, had important ritual significance and socio-political meanings for their communities. Through the Geographical Information Systems –GIS– techniques, we can analyse these sacred spaces in context. In this paper, by using a regional study as an example, we show the main analysis undertaken with gis, such as visibility and mobility, considering diverse variables and formulas. This will allow to develop comparative perspectives with other similar Mediterranean contexts. A first approach to the sacred landscape of the Iberia

The purpose of the research is to determine the influence on the spontaneous and creative formation of song symbolism (in particular, musical-typological), which took place through instincts. The research methodology uses scientific methods to emphasise that folklore is an extremely complex and much more difficult system to be systematized than literature and music. Therefore, the criteria of genre classification of written works to folklore can be used in part, aware of their conditionality.

Abstract:

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in analyzing the manufacturing techniques of Byzantine church doors in laboratory settings. However, the connection between the iconography and significance of the décor of church doors and their liturgical performativity, as well as their parallels with iconostases in Byzantium, remained a relatively underexplored area of study. This article seeks to delve deeper into these intersections. By focusing on the relationship between the iconography of church doors in Middle to Late Byzantium and their connection to the sacred space and liturgical

Abstract:

The article is an attempt to interpret the sacred dimension of Wincenty Korab-Brzozowski’s poetry. It was considered important to demonstrate that Brzozowski’s writing is constituted in the area of research on the sacred, presenting a syncretic dimension of religiosity, reconciling various orders. In addition to paying attention to the peculiarly shaped lyrical subject (his emotional transformations in contact with a reality that is not always understandable), symbolism derived from various religious systems was also examined. Against this background, the sphere of mystical phenomena is presen

В статье доказывается, что с древнейших времён символам придавали сакральное значение и смысл, которые были недоступны человеческому сознанию, а их природа рассматривалась как сверхъестественная. Даётся анализ различных точек зрения на сущность и природу символов, и делается вывод о том, что издавна символика рассматривалась как прообраз высшей реальности, хранилище и проводник священной информации космического уровня, которую нельзя передать обыденными словами. Рассматривается связь символики с архетипами и выделяется три основных подхода к рассмотрению символов - логический, лингвистический
