Cultural significance of the imaginative embodiment of the theme of the house

The article examines the cultural aspect of the theme of the house and the features of its imaginative embodiment. In relation to the concepts of "Cosmo-psycho-logos" (G. D. Gachev) and "accommodating and feeding landscape" (L. N. Gumilev), the theme of the house is revealed as a cultural tradition inherent in every nation. That is why special attention is paid to the conjugation of the image of the house with the phenomenon of ethno-cultural diversity. Based on the analysis of the transformation of the polysemantic image of the house, its value-semantic capacity and existential sound are revealed. The archetypal features of the artistic experience of modeling the image of the house, inseparable from the temporal experiences of the individual, are revealed. Special emphasis is placed on the influence of the image of the house on the fate of a person in both positive and negative ways. Using examples of works of art by different authors, it is shown that the concept of the house develops by including the motif of time, revealing its ambiguity. The image of the house is associated with the problems of identity, relationships, attitude, value perception.
