Abstract

The article attempts to analyze the socio-ontological resources of folklore/fairy tales: the socio-ontological meanings contained in the fairy tale are in the orbit of research attention, and its socio-cultural positioning as a kind of focus of social "wisdom" is substantiated. The subject of cognitive interest is the formality (image) and content (concept) of folklore as a generator and carrier of socio-philosophical meanings, their influence on understanding the specifics of positioning a socio-cultural community. The purpose of the study can be stated as the substantiation of folklore / fairy tales as a unique material for obtaining "metaphorical answers" to the question of the content / essence, the state of social reality and the development strategy of social existence. In the process of working on the article, the following were used: socio-cultural approach; structural and functional analysis, hermeneutic method; dialectical principles of representativeness, consistency, complementarity and correspondence, which allowed to create the basis for socio-ontological interpretation and explication of images-concepts of folklore / fairy tales. The article describes: social space as an unusual socio-ontological topography of a two-world; social time as the eventfulness of a closed cycle; social movement as a path to a "Different realm" — "wherever one's eyes look", "I don't know where"; social motives explaining the activity /passivity of the social positioning of the characters; social collisions being — the hierarchy of society, social relations, social ideals. The generalizations and conclusions made in the end make it possible to understand and accept the legitimacy of studying fairy tales as a space for the examination of socio-ontological meanings that reproduce the "mythopoetic consciousness" of the people, which is not only theoretically justified, but also has empirical relevance: it allows for the explicit support of the process of complex socio-humanitarian social knowledge.
