Full textAbstract:
Background.Rosa, as the "Queen of Flowers" has always occupied a special place in the garden. The emergence of rose gardens is rooted in antiquity. Rose is a kind of “tuning fork” of eras. We can see how the symbolism of the flower was transformed, depending on the philosophy and cultural values of society. And this contributed to the various functions and aesthetic delivery of roses in gardens and parks of different eras. Despite the large number of works on roses, today there are no studies that can combine philosophy, cultural aspects of the era, the history of gardens and parks with symbols of the plant world (in particular roses) with the identification of a number of features and patterns.Objectives.The purpose of the article is to study the symbolism of rosesin landscape gardening art of different eras.Methods.The historical method helps to trace the stages of the transformation of the symbolism of roses in different historical periods. The inductive method allows you to move from the analysis of the symbolism of roses in each era to generalization, the identification of patterns, the connection of the cultural life of society with the participation of roses in it. Graph-analytical method reveals the features of creating various types of gardens with roses, taking into account trends in styles and time.Results.In the gardens of Ancient Greece, the theme of refined aesthetics, reflections on life and death dominated. It is no accident that in ancient times it was an attribute of the goddesses of love. In antiquity, she was a favorite flower of the goddess of beauty and love of Aphrodite (Venus). In connection with the legend of the goddess, there was a custom to draw or hang a white rose in the meeting rooms, as a reminder of the non-disclosure of the said information. It was also believed that roses weaken the effect of wine and therefore garlands of roses decorated feasts, festivities in honor of the god of winemaking Dionysus (Bacchus). The rose was called the gift of the gods. Wreaths of roses were decorated: statues of the gods during religious ceremonies, the bride during weddings. The custom of decorating the floor with rose petals, twisting columns of curly roses in the halls came to the ancient palace life from Ancient Egypt, from Queen Cleopatra, highlighted this flower more than others. In ancient Rome, rose gardens turned into huge plantations. Flowers from them were intended to decorate palace halls during feasts. In Rome, a religious theme was overshadowed by luxurious imperial greatness. It is interesting that in Rome, which constantly spreads its borders, a rose from a "female" flower turned into a "male" one. The soldiers, setting out on a campaign, put on pink wreaths instead of helmets, symbolizing morality and courage, and returning with victory, knocked out the image of a rose on shields. From roses weaved wreaths and garlands, received rose oil, incense and medicine. The banquet emperors needed so many roses, which were also delivered by ships from Egypt. Ironically, it is generally accepted that Nero's passion for roses contributed to the decline of Rome. After the fall of the Roman Empire, rose plantations were abandoned because Christianity first associated this flower with the licentiousness of Roman customs. In the Early Middle Ages, the main theme is the Christian religion and roses are located mainly in the monastery gardens, symbolizing divine love and mercy. Despite the huge number of civil wars, when the crops and gardens of neighbors were violently destroyed, the only place of peace and harmony remained the monastery gardens. They grew medicinal plants and flowers for religious ceremonies. During this period, the rose becomes an attribute of the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ and various saints, symbolizing the church as a whole. More deeply, the symbolism of the rose was revealed in Catholic life, when the rosary and a special prayer behind them were called the "rose garden". Now the rose has become the personification of mercy, forgiveness, martyrdom and divine love. In the late Middle Ages, in the era of chivalry, roses became part of the "cult of the beautiful lady." Rose becomes a symbol of love of a nobleman to the wife of his heart. Courtesy was of a socially symbolic nature, described in the novel of the Rose. The lady, like a rose, symbolized mystery, magnificent beauty and temptation. Thus, in the Late Middle Ages, the secular principle manifests itself on a par with the religious vision of the world. And in the Renaissance, the religious and secular component are in balance. The theme of secular pleasures and entertainments was transferred further to the Renaissance gardens. In secular gardens at palaces, villas and castles, it symbolized love, beauty, grace and perfection. In this case, various secret societies appear that choose a rose as an emblem, as a symbol of eternity and mystery. And if the cross in the emblem of the Rosicrucians symbolized Christianity, then the rose symbolized a mystical secret hidden from prying eyes. In modern times, secular life comes to the fore, and with it new ways of communication, for example, in the language of flowers, in particular roses. In the XVII–XVIII centuries. gardening art is becoming secular; sesame, the language of flowers, comes from Europe to the East. White rose symbolized a sigh, pink –an oath of love, tea –a courtship, and bright red –admiration for beauty and passionate love [2]. In aristocratic circles, the creation of lush rose gardens is in fashion. Roses are actively planted in urban and suburban gardens. In modern times, rose gardens carry the idea of aesthetic relaxation and enjoyment. Many new varieties were obtained in the 19th century, during the period of numerous botanical breeding experiments. At this time, gardening ceased to be the property of the elite of society and became publicly available. In the XX–XXI centuries. rosaries, as before, are popular. Many of them are located on the territory of ancient villas, palaces and other structures, continuing the tradition.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of the article “Wine, Opium, Hashish in Georgian and European Symbolism” is the identification of the cultural links between Georgian and European (primarily French and, German) symbolism. Our goal is to determine the role and place of Georgian symbolism in the world literature context and study the cultural-aesthetic ties that have influenced the art of the Georgian symbolist group, the process of forming their aesthetic taste and worldview. In this article, we focus on the genesis of the symbolist theory of the myth, its specific nature and the motivation for the creation of a new mythology. In addition, we consider the theme of wine, opium and hashish in Georgian and European cultural areas, and analyse the conceptual sense and function of this new mythology.

Full textAbstract:
The article treats the role art magazine Zolotoe runo played in history of symbolist’s theoretical ideas. By 1906, symbolism as a philosophical and aesthetic movement enters a crisis stage (and, then, a renaissance) — the pioneering movement has become utterly formal, tendentious, and has even acquired public recognition, which contradicts the modernist spirit. Zolotoe runo turns into a platform for the adversaries of outdated, decadent or individual symbolism, changing the symbolist nature and landscape. V. F. Khodasevich suggests that not only hasn’t symbolism been yet studied, but it also doesn`t seem to have been even read. This phenomenon and its notion deserve proper research. The scientific community’s interest in this movement is growing, as the importance of symbolism comes to light, and it becomes more evident that it was not only a milestone in history, but it also predetermined many trends in the development of culture and art up to the present day. Apart from that, the extreme heterogeneity within the symbolist movement and its paradoxical and unexpected metamorphoses are rarely understood. Nonetheless, through the analysis of such magazines as Zolotoe runo, and by drawing upon the research of cultural scientists, art historians and literary critics, we can clarify the features of symbolism, contradictory and holistic at the same time.

Full textAbstract:
Storage of symbolic information outside the human brain is accepted here as the first undisputed evidence for cultural modernity. In the hunter-gatherer context of the Stone Age this storage could include artwork, rapidly changing artefact styles and organized spatial layout of campsites. Modern human behaviour in this context is distinguished by a symbolic use of space and material culture to define social relationships, including significant groupings based on attributes such as kinship, gender, age or skill. Symbolism maintains, negotiates, legitimizes and transmits such relationships. It is argued here that artefacts are not inherently imbued with symbolism and that modern human culture cannot be automatically inferred from inventories of archaeologically recovered material culture. Evidence for the out-of-brain storage of symbolism in southern African sites first appears in the final phase of the Middle Stone Age at about 40,000 years ago.

Full textAbstract:
The paper analyses the symbolist works in the under-researched opus of painter Miho Marinković. Trained at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, he is primarily known as a painter of intricate themes that can be categorized as late 19th-century symbolism. In 1904, he settled in Belgrade and became an active participant in the cultural scene of the Serbian capital. In 1911, Marinković’s paintings were exhibited in the Pavilion of the Kingdom of Serbia at the International Exhibition in Rome. His symbolist oeuvre covers the standard themes of symbolist painting, such as Medusa, Lucifer, or The Sinner, which speaks both of the artist’s personality and of the eclectic turn of the century. Symbolism in Marinković’s work reflects his training in Munich, which in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was the European centre of somnambular themes and artistic experiments. In this paper, his oeuvre has been considered in the context of general symbolist structures, with particular references to the Munich symbolism. Some reviews of Marinković’s symbolist paintings have been pointed out, which testify to the history of the reception of his work in the Kingdom of Serbia in the early 20th century. The positive reception of Marinković’s paintings in the Serbian setting is evident from the fact that as many as thirty-five of his works have been included in the holdings of the National Museum in Belgrade.

The article introduces the symbolism of the willow and the lily, which have played an important role in the lives of Chinese and Poles over many years. The research issue of this article is the question: What are the differences and similarities in terms of willow and lily symbolism in Chinese and Polish culture? The article is based on an analysis of literature. It aims to indicate the symbolism of the willow and the lily and to find the roots of their differences and similarities in Chinese and Polish cultures. The first part of the article is devoted to the theory of a linguistic worldview, which is the theoretical basis of the research. The second part of the article focuses on the most important and widespread symbolisms of the willow. The third part presents the most important connotations of the lily in both cultures. I It turns out that there are many similar symbolisms of the willow in Chinese and Polish culture, such as homesickness and vitality, etc. Nevertheless, the willow is an attribute of the noble hermit in Chinese culture, while in Polish culture it symbolizes susceptibility because of its pliancy. There are also many analogies in the associations of the lily in Polish and Chinese cultures, such as purity and holiness. Contrary to appearances, in the two civilizations the differences in lily symbolism are not readily apparent.

Full textAbstract:
<p class="p1">Roman de la Rose is a French poem which chronicles the journey of a young man within a secluded garden setting (the Garden of Dèduit). The poem was initially written by Guillaume de Lorris in c.1230 and later completed by Jean de Meun in c.1270. However, the authors’ differing literary styles have resulted in debates surrounding the poem’s meaning. In this study, I address the central interpretative problem by focusing on the illustrated garden setting of Dèduit and its relation to the literary content. Ultimately, I attempt to answer the following questions: How did the medieval audience perceive the garden symbolism? Did the images make a difference in the medieval reader’s understanding of the garden? What are the possible ways in which the medieval reader could interpret this garden symbolism?</p><div> </div><p class="p1"><strong> </strong></p>

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In Rose Tremain’s The Road Home, the culture clash of the British and the East-Central European is portrayed through a complex symbolism centred on images of food, consumption and waste. This literary representation may shed light on British literary auto-images, as well as hetero-images of the Eastern European immigrant. The novel’s presentation of this culture shock is defined by the cultural historical and economic circumstances of the parties. Food and material provide the symbolic sphere where the relationship between Britain and East-Central Europe is characterized in terms of capitalist worldview as opposed to a post-communist existence. William Shakespeare’s Hamlet is the most important intertext for Tremain’s novel. Hamlet is obsessed with the vulnerability of material in light of the spiritual value attached to it in the form of human soul. Stephen Greenblatt’s ideas on food, waste and the Christian belief in divine existence residing in material objects - ideas that originate in early modern times - shed light on the motif of material and food in The Road Home. Seen through the symbolism of food and the idea of differing values being attached to matter, the narrative identity of Lev, the protagonist of Tremain’s work, experiences drastic change due to his encounter with the capitalist, British ‘other’.

Full textAbstract:
Tikal caches frequently contain a wide variety of marine materials such as shells, fish bones, and stingray spines (Coe 1990; Maxwell 1996). Beyond the possible use of stingray spines as bloodletters, however, little attention has been given to the role of these objects in ritual. Numerous caches contain the remains of toxic animals, including stingrays, porcupine fish, cone shells, and potentially toxic corals and sponges. Intriguingly, these objects are found in the greatest frequencies dating to the period from a.d. 562 to 695—known as the Tikal hiatus—beginning immediately following the defeat of Tikal by Caracol and ending with the ascension of Ruler A. It is proposed toxic marine objects were employed in rituals at Tikal and these rituals were most important during the hiatus period.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the role of symbolism in reader understanding and interpretation in Nigeria. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: The role of symbolism in reader understanding and interpretation is profound, as symbols serve as powerful tools for conveying deeper meanings and themes within literary works. Through symbolism, authors imbue objects, characters, and events with additional layers of significance, allowing readers to engage with the text on multiple levels. Symbolism facilitates the exploration of complex ideas, emotions, and societal issues, often transcending language barriers and resonating with diverse audiences. Moreover, it encourages readers to actively participate in the interpretation process, fostering personal connections and insights that enrich their reading experiences. Consequently, the study of symbolism underscores its crucial role in shaping reader comprehension and interpretation, highlighting its capacity to evoke profound reflections on the human condition and the world around us. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Reader-response theory, semiotic theory and cognitive theory of metaphor may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the role of symbolism in reader understanding and interpretation in Nigeria. Educators should implement evidence-based instructional strategies for teaching symbolism in educational settings, including guided discussion, close reading, and scaffolded instruction. Educational policymakers should consider integrating symbolism into curriculum standards and assessments to ensure that students develop symbolic literacy skills alongside other critical reading competencies.

Full textAbstract:
In the third article of the series publications on the topic “A. Blok and Vl. Solovyov”, the author considers the representation of the heritage of Western esoterism in Blok’s drama “The Rose and the Cross” on the example of the poet's appeal to the themes of Joachimism and Catharism, including the neo-mythological connection of the Cathars with the legend of the Holy Grail. The author analyzes the influence of V.V. Solovyov's historiosophy and E.V. Anichkov's aesthetics on the symbolism of the drama from the perspective of rethinking these themes. It is shown that the drama of Blok is deeply intertwined with the neo-mythological concepts of the "French school" of Western esotericism, which were widely discussed in the circle of Russian symbolists, for example, in connection with the work of Sar Peladan. The conclusion is made about the influence on the symbolism of the drama of the works of V. Solovyov and the beliefs of E. V. Anichkov associated with medieval mysticism. An extensive bibliography is provided.

Full textAbstract:
The review discusses a collection of articles produced by a team of scholars under the supervision of professor Igor Svetlov. The book focuses on alternative experiments in late 1800s — early 1900s French art, which, although they failed to grow into independent movements, succeeded in producing several interesting concepts. The study is especially concerned with the Paris-based salon of ‘Rose + Croix’ and its founder Josephin Peladan — a writer, philosopher, occultist, and an able organizer. The book considers his artistic interests and views on the connection between art and religion, the role of symbolism in artistic thought, and the relationship between the modernity of his day and the previous epochs, including the esoteric and magical traditions. The collection covers a broad variety of subjects, such as the fantastic and the demonic in Paris, the mystical components in landscape paintings of the late 1800s, illustrations in the era of decadent art, intellectualism and intuition of the regulars of Peladan’s salons, esotericism and symbolism as a bridge into otherness, the existential and the universal in 1900s’ Parisian architecture, M. Voloshin’s turn-of-the-century spiritual and aesthetic experiments, the Parisian ‘imprint’ in Kandinsky’s early works, and Paris photographed at nighttime.

Full textAbstract:
This article considers the problem of the historical sources reflected in Blok’s drama “The Rose and the Cross”. It demonstrates that Blok’s marginalia in the books of his library serve as an indication of the unknown literary and historical sources of the “Notes” on the Albigensian crusade in the drama “The Rose and the Cross”, and can also be used in interpreting the symbolism of this drama. The marginal notes on the history of the Albigensian crusade that Blok made while working on the play are drawn on as a scholarly source for the first time. In the Appendice to the article facsimiles of Blok’s notes on the Albigensian crusade are published for the first time, accompanied by commentaries and a concordance.

Full textAbstract:
It is the thesis of this article that a secular form of the biblical Exodus pattern is used by Woody Allen in his Broadway Danny Rose. In the history of the Bible, and its interpretation, the Exodus pattern is again and again used as a model for inspiration: from oppression to deliverance. It was an important source of both argument and symbolism during the American Revolution. It was used by the Boer nationalists fighting the British Empire and it comes to life in the hand of liberations theology in South America. The use of this pattern and its use during the seder meal is to be taken loosely here: Exodus is not a theory, but a story, a “Big Story” that became part of the cultural consciousness of the West and quite a few other parts of the world. Although the Exodus story is in the first place an account of deliverance or liberation in a religious context and framework, in Broadway Danny Rose it is used as a moral device about how to survive in the modern wilderness.

Full textAbstract:
The function, realization and the role of sound-symbolic phenomenon can vary in some languages. The study of sound symbolism and onomatopoeia in Armenian, Russian and English showed that highly expressive forms of language occur not only in daily conversation, advertising, newspapers and magazines, but also in creative literature: children’s poems, stories and great works of art. As a powerful stylistic device they realize an impact upon the reader or listener and evoke certain emotional expressively evaluative reactions. The comparative analysis of this phenomenon demonstrates that the word is heard differently in different cultures.

Abstract Colour symbolism plays an important role in everyday life and science. The subject is interdisciplinary and receives significant attention in the literature. It is increasingly entering the field of economics and finance. The authors are the first to research the connotations and symbolism of colours in finance. The following research aims to: identify and determine the meaning of colours in connection with the word “finance”, determine the popularity of the use of particular colours in relation to the word “finance”, and identify the most popular subject areas in the literature related to the most commonly used colour in finance. Bibliometric and textual analyses were adopted as research methods. The main research conclusions are as follows. Of the 14 colours examined, only green, blue, brown, black and white showed connotations accurately portrayed in the text. Apart from the colour black, the symbolism is universal and unambiguous. For black, the symbolism is twofold, with one of the meanings going back to historical times. The dominant colour is green. The main research areas pursued under “green finance” include investing in and financing environmentally friendly projects (including various types of technology), developing financial instruments to support environmentally friendly activities and supporting clean energy projects.

Sustainability 15, no. 2 (January 16, 2023): 1684. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/su15021684.
Full textAbstract:
In today’s competitive environment, it is important to understand that consumers’ evangelical behavior depends on symbolic brand attachment. This study, drawing on social identity theory (SIT), investigates the direct relationship between brand symbolism and three characteristics of brand evangelism, namely purchase intention, positive brand referrals, and oppositional brand referrals, while also considering the mediating role of consumer brand identification (CBI) and the moderating role of generational cohorts. A total of 323 Starbucks coffee shop consumers were analyzed, and the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach was employed using Smart PLS 3.2. The findings revealed that brand symbolism is the strongest predictor of positive brand referrals, followed by purchase intention and oppositional brand referrals. CBI was a significant mediator between brand symbolism and the three aspects of brand evangelism. The results of the moderation effect of the generational cohort showed a significant relationship between brand symbolism and purchase intention. Interestingly, the generational cohort was not a significant moderator between brand symbolism and positive brand referrals and oppositional brand referrals. The study concludes with theoretical and managerial implications, as well as some suggestions for future studies.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the research is to analyze the perception of color by the viewer and to establish the role of the color score in the structure of the film, to determine the symbolism of the main colors in the fabric of the film. To achieve this goal, the following tasks are outlined: to establish the role of color in building the character and image of the character; to prove the importance of the ability to build and harmoniously organize the color scheme in the use of a monochromatic color system; to consider the role of color and its symbolism on specific examples. The research methodology consists of the application of the following methods: theoretical – for the analysis of films, and informative sources; generalization of the different colors’ influence on the general association of perception, the formation of subjective perception of scenes with the dominance of a certain color from the chromatic range; structural and functional, which consists in the isolation of color as a separate element from the integral fabric of the film and determining its function in the construction of characters, creating dramatic tension, etc. The scientific novelty is that the role of certain colors is analyzed in the example of modern projects, and a detailed analysis of the selection of colors depending on certain tasks in various scenes is carried out; with the help of theoretical analysis, the factors that influence the general impression of the viewer are determined. Thus, work was carried out on the collection and systematization of theoretical material on the topic and an attempt was made to apply theoretical concepts in practice. Conclusions. In the course of the article, we have analyzed the ambiguity of colors, the use of color combinations with sound, with other colors of the chromatic range.

Purpose This paper aims to improve knowledge regarding the complicated relationship among brand cultural symbolism, consumer cultural involvement, brand authenticity and consumer well-being. Although some literature has mentioned the relationship between the above concepts, these relationships have not been confirmed by empirical studies. Design/methodology/approach Based on the self-determination theory and the authenticity theory, a causal model of brand cultural symbolism, consumers’ enduring cultural involvement, brand authenticity and consumer well-being is developed. The structural equation model and multiple regressions are used to test the hypothesis. The primary data are based on an online survey conducted in China (N = 533). A total of six brands from the USA, France and China were selected as study samples. Findings The data reveal that brand cultural symbolism has a positive relationship with brand authenticity and consumer well-being; brand authenticity partially mediates the relationship between brand cultural symbolism and consumer well-being; and find a weakening effect of consumers’ enduring cultural involvement on the relationship between brand cultural symbolism and brand authenticity. Research limitations/implications The weakening effect of consumers’ enduring cultural involvement on the relationship between brand cultural symbols and brand authenticity should be further verified through experiments and the model should be tested in different cultural backgrounds from a cross-cultural perspective. Practical implications The present study offers novel insights for brand managers by highlighting brand authenticity as the fundamental principle that explains the effect of cultural symbolism of brands, consumers’ enduring cultural involvement, as well as eudaimonic and hedonic well-being. Originality/value The findings suggest that cultural significance of a brand is closely related to brand authenticity and consumer well-being; however, on consumers with a highly enduring cultural involvement, the effect of brand culture symbolism and brand authenticity is weakened. This is an interesting finding because in this case, consumers may measure brand authenticity more based on the brand actual behavior (e.g. brand non-commercial tendency and brand social responsibility) rather than the symbolic image.

Full textAbstract:
Traditionally, it has been understood that campus sexual assault adjudications need not take on the formalities of the justice system. Since the consequences faced in campus adjudications are considerably less than punishments faced in the justice system, less process is owed under the Due Process Clause. However, in September 2018, the Sixth Circuit reconceived what constitutes due process in campus sexual assault adjudications in the case of Doe v. Baum. The court found that in cases involving conflicting narratives at public universities, the accused or his agent must have the ability to cross-examine his accuser in the presence of a neutral factfinder. On November 29, 2018, the Department of Education took Baum several steps further in a proposed rulemaking on Title IX, mandating cross-examination in all campus sexual assault cases at both public and private universities. In this Comment, I argue that the proposed rulemaking on Title IX goes too far, misinterpreting the case law and the dictates of due process, while neglecting empirical evidence and foreseen adverse consequences. I argue that the proposed rulemaking misinterprets case law—most notably the recent Baum decision— by failing to appreciate important limits to the scope of compulsory cross-examination. I also unpack the vast negative implications of the proposed rulemaking, including drops in reporting rates and considerable institutional costs. As a result of these legal shortcomings and practical implications, I argue that the proposed rulemaking fails to pass the Mathews balancing test. As universities, the federal government, and courts determine how best to adjudicate campus sexual assault allegations, all efforts must be taken to minimize trauma to the victim, safeguard the rights of the accused, and protect the financial viability of educational institutions.

Full textAbstract:
Shifts between the Preclassic and Classic periods involved transitions in many aspects of Maya society, including the role of ritual activities as sources of power for and markers of political authority. During the Classic period, royal individuals were often buried in crypts or tombs marked with water symbolism that symbolically placed the individual within the watery underworld. Layers of lithics overlying these important interments were part of this symbolism. Water symbolism of this nature has deep roots in Maya ideology, beginning as early as the Middle Preclassic, prior to institutionalized political authority. In this article, we explore the relationships between large lithic deposits and underworld and water symbolism at Las Ruinas de Arenal and Buenavista del Cayo to shed light on diachronic transformations of ritual practices involving lithics and other objects reflecting the watery underworld. The deposits at Arenal suggest that during the Preclassic period, watery underworld symbolism was part of communal ritual activities that occurred in public ritual locations. At Buenavista, large lithic deposits reflecting underworld symbolism are more restricted and individualized in nature. We believe this reflects elite incorporation of communal practices to legitimize their privileged position in society and reinforce their political authority.

In this essay, I argue that though symbolism performs many roles in different cultures, it has a uniquely moral one in Igbo land. That unique role which symbolism performs in the pristine communalistic Igbo society concerns the regulation of human freedoms and actions in order to maintain social order. But is this something that can be sustained in a modern Igbo society that is more individualistic than communalistic? This paper is of the view that through the proper maintenance of such symbolism: social control between individuals and groups shall be more coordinated in the contemporary Igbo world; regulate and checkmate the Igbo moral consciousness of oneness; control some cultural maladjustment and bring more about social unity in Igbo land.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the work of the composer A.K. Glazunov in a relatively new paradigm. In this regard, the author resorted to biographical, musicological methods of research, as well as to system analysis. On the example of his work "Salome", the composer's contribution to the world of symbolism, popular in the late 19th - early 20th centuries, is considered. The Dance of Salome, written for Ida Rubenstein and performed by her in defiance of censorship restrictions, is a prime example of the innovative art of the time. Other outstanding artists of that time also worked on the production -Meyerhold, Bakst, Fokin. The article studies the role of exotic music in the work of A.K. Glazunov. Research findings: A.K. Glazunov created a magnificent symbolist work in the spirit of the advanced ideas of his time, revealing new facets of his talent. In the work of A.K. Glazunov's "Salome" is not the only "exotic" work, there were several more, including "Spanish Serenade" (1888), "Oriental Dream" (1888), "Oriental Tale" from the string quartet "Five Novels" (1886) , "Oriental Dance" from ballet scenes (1904), "Bacchanalia" from the opera "Raymonda" (1898), Oriental Rhapsody (1889), Oriental Suite (1895) and the song "Oriental Romance" in addition to an excerpt from "Seasons", used in "Cleopatra".

Full textAbstract:
This article delves into the intricate world of Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 by exploring the profound symbolism and language structures embedded within its narrative. The novel presents a bleak future where books are banned, and critical thinking is suppressed, offering a cautionary tale about the dangers of censorship and intellectual apathy. The primary focus of this analysis is on two interconnected aspects: symbolism and language structures. The symbolism of fire, prominently featured throughout the novel, serves as a multifaceted metaphor representing destruction, transformation, and rebirth. By delving into the symbolism of fire, this article unveils deeper layers of meaning and thematic resonance within Bradbury’s work. Furthermore, the article explores how language structures play a pivotal role in shaping the dystopian society depicted in Fahrenheit 451. Bradbury’s use of language manipulation, propaganda, and censorship highlights the power dynamics at play and underscores the theme of control over information and thought.

Full textAbstract:
Scientific interest in the problem of ekphrasis and the peculiarities of ekphrastic description has increased over the past decades. The article analyzes the ekphrastic poetics of E. Shvarts’ poem “Memory of Fra Beato Angelico’s fresco ‘Baptism’ at the sight of the head of John the Baptist in Rome”. The aim of this article is to identify the intermedial correlation of the verbal level with the visual level, revealing the ontological ekphrasis in this poem. The author of the article examined how the three levels of the image in the poem correlate in their ratio: artistic text, frescoes’ visual images, and symbolism (cultural codes). Ontological ekphrasis helps the poet find new ways to reveal traditional Christian themes. Visual images of the early Renaissance fresco acquire an ontological status in the text (dove, “rose,” gray color, water, fog, coal [fire], flower, river, blood, wine, relics [the head of John the Baptist], Lapis Niger, dawn). Through symbols and cultural codes, these images reveal the metaphysics of Baptism from a historical, cultural, and modern perspective, leaving the reader with options for interpretation. In the spirit of the early Renaissance artist himself, Shvarts ontologically recodes the medieval symbolism of Baptism, immersing it into thereality, perceiving Christian history as a struggle of life and death, culminating in the eschatological hope of the Second Coming of Christ. Fra Angelico turned out to be in tune with Shvarts precisely as an artist of the early Renaissance, in the painter’s movement of medieval mysticism to Renaissance ontologism and humanism.

Initially, we examined the biological characteristics of cats and their relationship with humans. We then investigated the interpretation of cat symbolism from diverse perspectives, including literary and artistic perspectives, geographical and cultural perspectives, religious and mythological perspectives, as well as psychological and contemporary perspectives. Furthermore, we examined how the symbolism of cats is currently interpreted in the clinical process of sand play therapy, drawing insights from literature and real-life cases. Through these investigations, we confirmed that the multifaceted symbolism of cats can be utilized to facilitate the individuation process of clients.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to test the effects of corporate brand symbolism on consumer satisfaction and loyalty on a sample of Australian automobile consumers. Design/methodology/approach – Survey research was employed to test the study hypotheses. The regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationships between an independent variable (corporate brand symbolism) and dependent variables (consumer satisfaction and loyalty). Findings – Support was found for all hypotheses formulated in this study. Regression results reveal consistent favourable and significant effects of corporate brand symbolism on both consumer satisfaction and loyalty. Research limitations/implications – Although this paper makes contributions in international marketing, the cross-sectional nature of the data collection method limits the information gained to the single point in time. This research studied the impact of corporate brand symbolism on consumers of one original equipment manufacturers (OEM). Having a larger number of participating car manufacturers/OEMs would have provided a wider insight. However, time and resources limitation did not allow to study a larger sample. In the future, practitioners are recommended to further understand the relationship between self and social aspects of brand symbolism in order to formulate more targeted communication strategies. Practical implications – The findings of this study point to the strategic role of the brand in generating both satisfaction and loyalty. In the light of increasing advertising costs and decreasing consumer loyalty, strengthening corporate brand symbolism makes a lot of economic sense. The findings suggest that managers need to take into account consumer need for identity expression and consider this in their branding strategies. Social implications – Humans are social beings by nature. However, international brand research has paid relatively little attention to how products are used by consumers in everyday life, including their social life. Consumer behaviours increasingly depend on social meanings they imbue brands with beyond products’ functional utility. It is argued the focus of symbolic consumption needs to be broadened and integrated more with social science concepts. Originality/value – This study captures a construct of corporate brand symbolism by including self and social aspects of symbolism. The current study also comprehensively measures consumer loyalty, including cognitive, affective and behavioural types of loyalty.

Homo Sapiens (HS) started emerging around 300,000 BP. HS, a long-distance fast bipedal runner had a 29-year life expectancy. The ensuing physiological mutations caused the birth of long-dependent children. Their side-effect was enhanced vocal articulation. Linguistic phylogeny produced language with three time-ordered articulations: 1- rotation vowels-consonants into roots; 2- space- and timecategorization of roots into stems; 3- functional and temporal specifications of stems into fronds. Women henceforth developed as spiritual members in their communities, hereinafter their place in the production of symbolic cave and mobiliary art. The spiritual dimension of such symbolism must heavily be centered on women. Around 45,000 BCE all over the world, HS communities who had migrated out of Black Africa between 250,000 and 70,000 BP developed women-centered symbolism for the first time on durable media, though male-centered hunting weapons and tools had been produced even by previous Hominins.

Full textAbstract:
This research is dedicated to examination of a specific role of landscape in symbolism. Based on comprehensive analysis of the works of symbolists and artists of their circle – Segantini, Böcklin, Gauguin, Nesterov, Čiurlionis, the author attempts to determine the characteristic features of using the images of nature in the overall system of pictorial artistic-aesthetic expression. Special attention is paid to the problem of inscription of human figures into landscape, as in doing so many symbolists and artists of their circle were bringing the landscape to life, forming a special creative space. Landscape of symbolists is viewed as a peculiar animated space that carries a mediating role between the visually palpable images and indescribable pleroma of metaphysical being. Such approach to symbolism is considered innovative. In the course of this research, it is demonstrated that special artistic space as a carrier of symbolic meanings or a spirit of symbolism in painting emerges in each painters a set of artistic means of expression characteristic only to their works. At the same time, some symbolists view the unreachable in external forms of visible nature by focusing attention of the opposition of earth and sky, life and death, human and divine beginning, reality and its mythological grounds. Some symbolists create the world of practically abstract and musically accented color forms and graphic solutions. While others paint landscape imbued with tranquility, tenderness and picturesque hymns of the Creator. In general, symbolic landscape leans towards a fairly vivid philosophical aspect.

Full textAbstract:
The present study examines how the language of political symbolism operates within the framework of identity construction. It focusses on the themes of sovereignty during the 2022 French presidency of the European Union and the national presidential election campaign. On the basis of Conceptual Metaphor Theory, it suggests that, apart from purely linguistic features, extra-linguistic factors are also essential in order to convey a global view of symbolic rhetoric. The analysis is conducted according to an overall 6-tier model of figurative origins involving the parameters of personal background, political context, cultural history, reference, conceptual metaphor and linguistic metaphor. By applying the parameters of the model, it is proposed that the core of political argumentation in the corpus analysis is based on national symbols and the conceptual mapping they embody. The basic hypothesis of the model assumes that a politician attempts to portray the symbolisation of unity in accordance with his or her political background and personal biography. A political narrative is thereby created within the current political context using predominant symbols in cultural history. An over-riding factor is the role of referential points which may determine divergence in conceptual mapping. These features then lead to the construction of conceptual metaphors which can take on a particularly hyperbolic structure in the ensuing linguistic metaphors. The implications of the study highlight the important role of symbolism in political debate, its interaction with conceptual metaphor, the relevance of extra-linguistic factors portrayed by the 6-tier model, the link between cultural history and hyperbolic linguistic structures and political divergence in similar symbols.

ABSTRACTPoetry always has a unique charm that captivates and draws the reader into its figurative world. One of the most interesting charm is symbolism used by the poet, in one single word lays a deeper explanation beyond what is perceptible by the eyes. Therefore, the aim of this research was to reveal the symbolism in “The Haunted Palace”, a gothic-themed poetry written by a well-known poet Sir Edgar Allan Poe. Having analyzed this poetry, the writer later found that Poe’s “The Haunted Palace” has some unique symbols used by the poet himself. Despite of writing long and descriptive lines, the poet chose appropriate symbols that lead the readers to think and conjecturing more deeply. Every symbol used in “The Haunted Palace” represents simplicity, authenticity and brilliancy of Poe himself. Thus, a symbolism holds a very important role of poetry. It is not only pleasantly presented but also elucidating things beyond its literal substance. It proves that Poe’s “The Haunted Palace” is pleasant to be read but difficult to be interpreted.Keywords: poetry, symbolism, The Haunted Palace, Edgar Allan Poe

Abstract Howard Phillips Lovecraft is widely considered to be one of the most influential writers of modern horror fiction and one of the main pioneers of the genre in its current form. One of the less discussed attributes of his work is his use of animal symbolism, despite how common it is, and serves several important functions. We will examine the different forms of animal symbolism in Lovecraft’s writing, their use and their respective functions. Our main goal will be to examine how animal symbolism in Lovecraft’s work was influenced by cultural and mythological sources and his own opinions towards different creatures and what they represent, in which case we will examine how his knowledge and beliefs may have influenced his depiction of animals. Our focus will be on the depiction of cats, dogs, snakes, aquatic, and amphibious animals as these play a significant role Lovecraftian fiction. We will also examine how animal symbolism connects to the key themes in cosmic horror, such as its negation of anthropocentrism.

Recent work has argued that sound symbolism plays a much larger part in language than previously believed, given the assumption of the arbitrariness of the sign. A slate of recent papers on Pokémonastics, for example, has found sound symbolic associations to be rampant in Pokémon names cross-linguistically. In this paper, we explore a real-world dataset that parallels Pokémon, in which human players similarly have physical attributes of weight, height, and power: Major League Baseball. We investigated phonological correlations between baseball player statistics and their given first names, chosen baseball-official first names,and baseball nicknames. We found numerous sound symbolic associations in player-chosen names and nicknames, where conscious design may play a role in choosing a name that communicates an attribute. These associations were often mediated by language-specific hypocoristic formation processes. We conclude that sound symbolism occurs in real-world naming practices, but only when names are chosen in cognizance of the relevant attributes.

There is a fascinating tradition of depicting solar eclipses in Western art, although these representations have changed over time. Eclipses have often been an important feature of Christian iconography, but valued as much for their biblical significance as for the splendour of the physical event. However, as Western culture passed through the Renaissance and Enlightenment the depictions of eclipses came to reflect new astronomical knowledge and a thirst for rational learning well beyond the confines of the church and other elites. Artists also played a surprisingly important role in helping scientists in the nineteenth century understand and record the full phenomena of an eclipse, even as the advent of photography also came to solve a number of scientific puzzles. In the most recent century, artists have responded to eclipses with symbolism, abstraction and playfulness. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Atmospheric effects of solar eclipses stimulated by the 2015 UK eclipse’.

Full textAbstract:
This article is a multidimensional study of Russian symbolism as one of the most prominent 20th century literary schools that had a major impact on the development of Russian modernism. The current state of art in the field of modernism is relevant in the context of the metamodern paradigm. The article specifically focuses on the figure of Vyacheslav Ivanov, symbolist poet, leading theoretician of this literary school, and religious thinker who played important role in the development of the so-called Silver Age in Russian literary history. The purpose of the article is to map out methodological approaches, representative of contemporary studies of Vyach. Ivanov. The study bears on the corpus of the most interesting works on Ivanov in the past decades. It demonstrates that besides traditional philological readings, there are a number of novel approaches to the poet’s heritage based on philosophical, linguophilosophical, cultural, religious-axiological, psychoanalytic, hermeneutic, intertextual, or comparative perspective.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the article is to analyze the symbolism of clouds in the idiostyle of Sergey Yesenin. The object of the analysis is the “atmospheric phenomena” symbolism within the semantic field of “nature”. The focus of the research is the specificity of the symbolism of clouds in the linguistic image of the poet’s world. The research methods of semantic analysis and linguistic description are used. The material for the analysis is fragments of poetic texts by Sergey Yesenin. An attempt is made to describe the mechanism of creating a symbolic sense, which is also a metaphorical sense and is based on associative, analogous thinking. The factual material illustrates the role of the semantic phenomenon of the contextual connotation of words (lexemes) in a poetic text. The article shows that the symbolism of clouds in Yesenin reflects certain phenomena, e.g., things (beard, lace), atmospheric phenomena (rain), place (cornfield), physical phenomena (chill), animals (horse), perception of the world (unhappiness, illusion, mystery), people (believers). The attention was paid to the exceptional transparency of the phenomenon of things (honey, smoke, threshold, blade, beard, lace, lake, torn clothing (outfit)), which create the so-called functional metaphor. The conducted analysis will contribute to the enrichment of knowledge on the creation of a model of mechanisms controlling symbolic-metaphorical (figurative) thinking, as well as to further studies on the functioning mechanism of associative (metaphorical) thinking. A possibility of comparative analysis of clouds symbolism in the idiostyles of other Russian or European poets is suggested.

With “Un coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard,” of 1897 (“Dice Thrown Never Will Annul Chance”)—a meditation on how to set up a mental dice game that would visually inscribe the fatal play of human thought shipwrecked against unbeatable chance—Stéphane Mallarmé announced modernism. As his celebrated white sonnet about a swan stuck in the glacier of the blank page (“The new, lively, and lovely today”) had established the image of writing as a near-to-death experience, his equally celebrated understatement about how the ultimate presence of the rose depends on its absence “from any bouquet” had set up symbolism as the art of suggestion. Had any French poet ever had such influence on writers to come? such resonance for readers and artists? With Mallarmé modern poetry begins.

Full textAbstract:
Произведения Ф. М. Достоевского сложны для понимания не только в силу своего разнопланового философского «многоголосия», но и потому, что их идейнообразующее начало нередко возникает на уровне поэтики. Важную роль в этом играет выразительная деталь. Актуальность данного исследования определяется возрастающим вниманием к особенностям поэтики писателя, к взаимодействию текста и подтекста. Целью статьи является изучение роли художественной детали, связанной с упоминанием о самоцветных камнях в его романах. Предметом исследования стала символика самоцветов, издавна известная в мировой художественной культуре и получившая особенное распространение в России в ХVIII–ХIХ столетиях. Анализ романов Ф. М. Достоевского позволяет сделать вывод, что в художественном мире писателя случайные, казалось бы, упоминания о самоцветах несут большую смысловую нагрузку, открывая читателю глубины подтекста. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы в школьном и вузовском преподавании литературы. F. M. Dostoyevsky’s works are difficult to understand not only because of their polyphonous and multilayered philosophy, but also because their poetics is associated with idea capturing and idea shaping. Artistic details play a great role in Dostoyevsky’s works. The relevance of the research is accounted for by the ever-growing attention to the writer’s poetics, to the interconnection between the text and implications. The aim of the article is to investigate the role of gemstones in Dostoyevsky’s novels. The object of the research is gemstone symbolism which gained popularity in Russian literature in the 18th–19th centuries. The analysis of F. M. Dostoyevsky’s novels enables the author of the article to conclude that even seemingly random references to gemstones have great symbolic significance and help uncover numerous implications. The results of the research can be used at literature lessons in secondary and tertiary educational institutions.
