Специфіка пластичного образотворення в первісному танці : символіко-семантичний аспект
Specific features of fluid image creation in primitive dance: symbolic and semantic aspect

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyze a symbolic content of symbolic means of fluid medium and to outline a semantic aspect of dance images in the primitive dance. The methodology is based on the complex approach principles and applies analytical technique, historical, comparative, semiotic and unifying methods in order to create a holistic view of primordial and symbolic nature of primitive choreographic art. Scientific novelty. A complex analytical study of dance symbolism in the syncretic space of primitive culture has been conducted. The theoretical generalization of the fluid image semantics problem has been offered. The image of the dance is interpreted as a holistic phenomenon of being, as a bodily expression of thought and practical experience. Conclusions. The study of the specific features of the dance image creation reveals that the attributive characteristic of human essence and human worldview at an early stage of the society development is the fluid transformation potential. The dance image, created by expressive imitation movements and gestures, served as a symbol by which the idea of unity with nature, totemic protectors, ancestors, and deities became firmly established.
