- Abstract
This article is devoted to the analysis of cultural-semiotic approach that is considered as one of the key principles in studying the art of indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East. The author proposes systematization of the methodological principles of cultural- semiotic approach (understanding of culture as a structure consisting of series of symbolic systems and cultural texts; symbol creation principle actualized in fictional dialogism; culture representativeness and symbolic interpretation of signs of culture and the concept of “value” as a key concept in semantic philosophy of art). On the basis of correlation of cultural-semiotic approach methodological principles and constructivism ideas, the definition of “art” is specified. Art is understood as a cultural-semiotic construct that generates social meanings in the individual’s and collective’s consciousness and allows a human being to verify ideas about the world around us and, on a subconscious level, design his/her picture of the world
