Latviešu mitoloģija vizuālā un verbālā tekstā (1880-1945)

2019

Promocijas darbs sniedz ieskatu latviešu mitoloģijas vizualizācijas vēsturē, analizējot faktorus, kas ietekmējuši vizuālos priekšstatus par mitoloģiskiem tēliem un motīviem. Pētījums ir saistīts ar teksta uzbūves struktūras semantikas jautājumiem, un folkloras teksts ar tajā iekļauto mitoloģisko tēmu tiek skatīts kā dekontekstualizēta verbālā teksta vienība, kas vizuālās mākslas kontekstā ieguvusi jaunu simbolisko nozīmi. Darbā analizēti 19. gadsimta beigu un 20. gadsimta pirmās puses tēlotājas un lietišķi dekoratīvās mākslas paraugi ar mitoloģiskā žanra iezīmēm (J. Rozentāla, Ā. Alkšņa, A. Cīruļa, E. Brastiņa, H. Vīkas, J. Bīnes u. c. autoru darbi), kā arī grāmatu grafika ilustrētos tautas…
