Chronotope as a Semantic category of Ukrainian Folk Art Culture: Conceptual Dimension
In the paper spatial and temporal realities (time-space) are the key coordinates of the semantic field of culture. It is emphasized that the time-space (chronotore) approach to Ukrainian folk art culture is a key component of its semiotic analysis and corresponds to the priority trends of the development of contemporary culture studies. The time-space method of investigation leads to the study of integral image of the world of folk culture.It is substantiated that the time-space category can be applied to the study of static phenomena and dynamic processes. As a universal context of functioning of the piece of work, chronotope is also individual for each sense and is simultaneously a mutual feedback of spatial and temporal parameters based on continual unity (duration) and discrete (continuity) principles, it enables the implementation of a double transition of temporal forms into space ones and vice versa.As cultural meanings space and time enter the world of the theory of ethnic values (axiosphere) so axiological neutral setting in the interpretation of chronotope, as part of the flow of content creation, is combined with the inherent to Slavic philosophy of culture value reflection.
