Репрезентація образу людини культури в англійськомовній літературі

This article examines the person of culture image represented in Anglophone literary texts, conceptualized through social and cultural contexts. Fiction, in particular, foregrounds fundamental philosophical and existential issues, given through the prism of culture and experience, inviting readers to reconsider established assumptions about the world and the self. Such experience is mediated through literary characters who, by artistic concept, are deeply rooted in cultural traditions and function as embodiments of cultural values. The authors define the person of culture as an individual who has assimilated humanity’s cultural experience and realizes their life potential through cultural values, humanism, and spirituality.The study explores how this image is constructed through recurring themes characteristic of Anglophone literature, including cultural identity, postcolonialism, trauma and memory, moral choice and act. These themes are realized through various modes of image positioning, ranging from explicit character development to implicit cultural allusions. Employing content analysis methods, such as thematic coding and qualitative interpretation, this study examines the way the person of culture image is introduced and developed in the Anglophone novel. The design and adoption of thematic coding is grounded in the premise that such an image is formed in literary texts through the recurring representations of dialogism, individuality, and cultural awareness. The authors identify six primary dimensions of representation: cultural experience, commitment to humanistic values, spiritual and moral values, innovativeness and creativity, aesthetic taste, and self-development. The research shows that the interpretation of the person of culture image cannot be fulfilled in isolation but should be contextualized within broader themes such as postcolonial discourse, cultural identity formation, and cultural values. The authors propose to extend the analysis of the representation of the person of culture image at both verbal and conceptual levels, through the interpretative frameworks of linguistic and cultural approaches.
