Polysemantic of the festive forms of Belgian culture

In the article the author gives a cultural analysis of the festive forms in the plane of the semiosphere on the example of the culture of the Kingdom of Belgium. Festive culture, in its conditionality and variability, is viewed from the position of the text of culture, with all the semantic meanings implicit in it. Being part of the spiritual culture of society, the festive forms of actualization of certain meanings, meanings and symbols express a number of components of ethno-national self-consciousness. Collective ideas about the origin, about the heroes of the national history, about the values of the family, labor and the pleasures of life are demonstrated in the architectonics and atmosphere of the holidays in the ceremonial-ritual and game forms. The use of comic and theatrical traditions, rituals and rituals, ceremonies and customs, symbols and attributes that reflect everyday life and customs in their dynamics, determines the polysemantic tic of the festive forms of national culture. This polisemantika in no small measure activates emotional perception and understanding by participants and spectators of festive actions of history and modern life of their country.
