Вещь-символ-знак в славянской и еврейской культурной традиции
A collection of articles “Object – Symbol – Sign in the Slavic and Jewish Cultural Tradition” includes the papers
of international conference held in Moscow on 5–7 December 2018. The book includes 17 articles by scholars
from Russia and the Republic of Belarus, who devoted their research to the analysis of the subject code in the
texts of the book and oral tradition. The attention of authors is focused on the role of the object / item / artifact in
the rites and rituals, the secondary use of ritual attributes; such topics as subject and symbol in the language of
culture were highlighted, as well as the image of the object / objects in the oral narratives (family heirlooms,
local symbols and brands, etc.), and an object / artefact as a carrier of cultural information.
