THE QUESTION OF THE MYTH CREATION IN THE RECEPTION OF LITERARY SCIENCE

Abstract

The article examines the traditional scientific view of the archetypal image, mythologeme, mytheme, symbol, motif, analyses the relationship between these components and improves scientific approaches to the problems of myth poetic categories implementation in artistic creation. The subject of research is the structural unit of myth – archetypal image, mythologeme, mytheme, symbol, motif and so on. The purpose of the article is a compilation, systematization and improvement of the theoretical aspects of myth creation and its components. The methodological base of research is a thorough study of archetypal theory and mythological criticism by N. Frye and K.-H. Jung. The basic studies in the field of myth analysis and theory of myth poetics by modern Ukrainian literary critics I. Zvarych, O. Kolesnyk, V. Kuyevda, R. Markiv, A. Niamtsu, T. Shestopalova and other have been used. Structural units of mythological texts are considered in line with the archetypal criticism; their main functions in the artistic creation (axiological, philosophical, cultural, integrative, etc.) are investigated. The general scheme of invariant core archetype implementation in literary contexts is built. Attention is drawn to the phenomenon of the author's worldview and its relationship with ancient mythological images. The methods and types of functioning of archetypal patterns in literature are considered. The received results can be used while studying theoretical literary disciplines. The research proves that archaic worldview and mythological consciousness are realized through archetypes, which concentrate the collective memory of the people. One archetype may combine several archetypal images, shapes, motifs realized in myth creation. The structural unit of mythological text at sentence level is mytheme in which the semantics of the myth lies, the objectification of the latter depends on the interaction of mytheme and mythologeme. The latter should be understood as a myth image or universal image-concept which based on certain archetype and can express the values of several different archetypes. Mythological content is expressed through a symbol which reproduces an ideological paradigm for both national and human universes
