SEMIOTICS OF THE ANTIQUE PLOT IN NATIONAL AESTHETIC CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE ERA OF PETER I (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE DESCRIPTION OF A SOLEMN GATE OF 1703 AND 1704)
The paper is concerned with the esthetic arrangement of the new elements of Antiquity in structure of the national cultural consciousness that interprets the borrowed ancient text in a perspective of political changes. New antiquity forms were entered by Peter I into the field of Russian semiotics and founded beginning for new cultural ideas in historical formation of Russian esthetics. The Antiquity which is revealed in forms of the Byzantine model is a substratum of the Russian spiritual culture of which its linguistic parameters were set by formulas of works of East Fathers of church in national literature of Russian Middle Ages. Peter the Great’s era combines subject lines of two historically developed modes of ancient art in space of Russian esthetics: East (Greek) and Western (Latin). Article purpose is to analyze connecting of two antique paradigms in ontology of the Russian culture by means of esthetic categories: ‘beautiful’ / ‘ugly’. The research has been conducted on the example of the authentic texts of the beginning of the 18th century on the basis of philological and hermeneutical methods.
