Abstract
The subject of the study is such a phenomenon in the cult architecture of the Near East region (Levant, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Elam) as the erection of stelae. Special attention is paid to the semantics of stelae, which had a sacred meaning for ancient people. The purpose of the research is to identify the main functions and meanings characteristic of such a typological unit in the architecture of the Near East as the stela (stele). The relevance of the research is determined by the development of interdisciplinary discourse in this issue among domestic (N. Ya. Merpet, E. V. Antonova, A. B. Zubov, T. V. Kornienko, V. V. Emelianov) and foreign (J. Mellaart, K. Schmidt) scientists. The scientific research of the article is based on the architectural-ontological research method: analysis of architectural objects (Göbekli Tepe, Nevali Çori) with the identification of typological and compositional features, analysis of literary sources in the form of sacred texts (the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Bible) with the identification of the semantic field of meanings. The novelty of the study is determined by the identification of the architectural and ontological role of stelae in the ancient architecture of the region. As a result of the study, a number of basic semantic meanings and functions characteristic of such a typological unit in the architectural tradition of the Near East as the stela (stele) are given. These conclusions can be applied in such areas of the humanities as history, philosophy, cultural studies, religious studies, art history, architecture, archeology and other sciences.
该研究的主题是近东地区(黎凡特、美索不达米亚、安纳托利亚、埃兰)的邪教建筑中出现的石碑竖立现象。特别要注意的是石碑的语义,它对古代的人有神圣的意义。本研究的目的是确定像石碑(石碑)这样的类型学单位在近东建筑中的主要功能和意义特征。研究的相关性是由国内关于这一问题的跨学科话语的发展决定的。Merpet, E. V. Antonova, A. B. Zubov, T. V. Kornienko, V. V. Emelianov)和国外(J. Mellaart, K. Schmidt)科学家。本文的科学研究基于建筑本体论的研究方法:分析建筑对象(Göbekli Tepe, Nevali Çori),识别类型学和组成特征,分析神圣文本形式的文学来源(吉尔伽美什史诗,圣经),识别意义的语义场。这项研究的新颖性是由石碑在该地区古建筑中的建筑和本体论作用的识别决定的。作为研究的结果,给出了像石碑(石碑)这样的类型学单位在近东建筑传统中的一些基本语义和功能特征。这些结论可以应用于历史、哲学、文化研究、宗教研究、艺术史、建筑、考古学和其他科学等人文学科领域。
