Покровская гора как смысло­вая доминанта брянского текста

The article is carried out within the framework of semiotic approach to the town study. Its purpose is to substantiate the idea thatPokrovskayaMountainis a semantic element of theBryansktext and most fully and systematically expresses its main idea — the ancient history of the town, which determined its fate, image and destination. As a result of the study, the following conclusions were made. Firstly, the semiotic system ofPokrovskayaMountainis characterized by a rich content and, in many ways, nourishes and determines the uniqueness of theBryansktext itself. Secondly, these historical and cultural objects, in the aggregate of their meanings, representBryanskas an ancient and sacred topos, a symbol of courage, military and peaceful labor, literary fame. Thirdly, the example ofPokrovskayaMountainin theBryansktext highlights the metaphorical significance of the town’s location at the highest point of the terrestrial space and the associated with it idea of a special mission of the town as a center for the spread of Orthodoxy and the defender of Russian lands. Fourthly,PokrovskayaMountainis the semantic constant of theBryansktext and is actively used to determine the cultural identity of the territory, plays a special role in the construction of the identity ofBryanskand the creation of its mythological image.
