ARCHITECTONICS OF A HUMAN BODY: CULTURAL AND SYMBOLIC ASPECTS // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2013. Issue 9 (137). P. 241-248

In the work that is devoted to the study of human body semantics the heterogeneity of corporality is considered through the notion of body boundaries. The material for analysis is Eastern-Slavic mythological tradition diversified in folklore, literary texts; language system bearing culturally significant typifications; peculiarities of ceremonial practice. The topic of boundary, which rises from the fundamental perceptions of consciousness about heterogeneity of space, is projected on the microcosm of a human body. In symbolic anatomy it is possible to outline the inner boundaries that structure a body from inside, and external ones that fix the boundaries of structures that go outside.

Keywords: traditional culture of the Russians, body, symbolic anatomy, body boundaries, myth, folklore, linguistic consciousness, ritual

EAST SLAVIC MYTH IN THE PROSPECT OF NON-CLASSIC METHODOLOGIES // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2014. Issue 7 (148). P. 73-77

The article considers methodological potential of non-classic methodologies, in particular the concepts contained in the schemes of French sophists M. Foucault and G. Bachelard in reference to the East Slavic mythological tradition analysis. The notion of cultural imposition and discontinuity; the notion of self-determination discourse continuity by Foucault, the concepts of feedback and echoes by Bachelard open the potential for specialized analysis of mythological materials.
