ARCHETYPE HOUSES IN GLOBAL-GLOCAL CONFIGURATIONS OF THE MODERN CITY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the conceptual analysis of globally-glocal interpretations of the archetype of the House, taking into account the peculiarities of the organization of social space in modern transformations of the city. The archetype of the House as a component of the universal symbolic triad “House - Field - Temple” is considered from the standpoint of contradictory global transformations of the modern city, the global manifestations of which are specified in ontological, existential, cultural and phenomenological aspects. The proposed archetypal triad has a powerful ontological orientation in determining the existential foundations of the temporal deployment of the life path against the background of the realities of native culture, nature, family comfort in vital networks of the interweaving of the material and ideal. The archetype of Fields is associated with nature, the environment, mother earth, which reflects the organic connection of human, nature and ethnicity. The modern interpretation of the archetype of Fields is the value basis of environmental movements, which finds original implementation in environmental styles for the development of urban studies and eco-feminism. The archetype of the Temple symbolizes sacredness, which can be embodied in the semantic contexts of the language and cultural areas of shrines. The archetype of the House has an existential filling of orderliness and security, which concretizes the locus of one’s own truth and freedom, showing family unity and general comfort, which tends to be clearly labeled as a separate space of “One”s”. The crisis connotation of the archetype of the House has existential contexts of the loss of internal connection with the native land, occupation and capture, which is manifested in images of ruins, emptiness, breaking the connection of generations and doom to wander. The glocal-global theming of the archetype of the House demonstrates the possibility of expanding the space of His-Own from a specific locus of residence (home, yard, district, city, region, country-homeland) to global dimensions of the planetary perception of the World-as-Home, which is manifested in cosmopolitan settings and understanding the shared responsibility for the future of humanity. A separate perspective of the archetypal interpretation of the House provides for the formation of common places of We-House as an organization of a cultural landscape of common interest in the form of a public space “We-in-the-world” as a common place for work, study and development, which is specified in the formats of the People’s House, House of Culture, hub, coworking, smartworking, etc. The article notes that the archetype of the House is a local expression of constructing an open living topos in the unity of sociocultural, natural and sacred-symbolic, characterizing the city of the globalization era not only in terms of universality, but also the activation of regionality, the need for selfdetermination in uniqueness, organic connection of the past and future, adaptation advantages of environmental friendliness, etc.
