On the Artistic Worldview and the Mythologemes of Dance
The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the artistic and poetic worldview in its initial relationship with the Myth and mythological worldview. A myth is a special set of views on the world around us, which a person develops according to the laws of beauty and a holistic perception of the world, this is the basic psychological structure of a personality, the most important mechanism for a person’s realization in culture. Dance in its ancient and primordial sense is one of the projections of the myth, realizing the connection between the «sacred and the earthly». Considering the features of the historical types of worldviews and the modern specifics of the artistic image of the world, the author comes to the conclusion that the dance does not repeat, does not duplicate oral speech, but speaks with the help of its figurative-communicative dynamic structure. The language of dance not only expresses the deep emotional state of a person, it also has a sign-symbolic nature, and for a symbolic language, external beauty is inseparable from internal beauty. The prospects for further research are understanding the possibility of returning to the art of dance its original sacred sound when forming a new image of the world.
