Dansul ca fenomen cultural și psihologic

Abstract

In this article we proposed the study of dance to be a symbolic phenomenon of culture and a special psychocultural phenomenon, due to its multifunctionality, is capable to promote the process of social communication in the historical and cultural continuum. The representation of dance as a psychocultural phenomenon presupposes a view of it as a historical way of human existence. When analyzing cultural determinants and their communicative properties, we must pay special attention to language, customs and art, because it is precisely for these types of social practices that the main function, meaning and main value are fused by communication, which is traditionally divided into verbal and nonverbal. The study of dance as a phenomenon and symbolic sign of culture is a multifaceted problem, and as a psychocultural phenomenon, dance is one of the oldest natural manifestations of man. Thus, dance can be considered not only as a means of purification and emotional transformation, but also as a means of self-knowledge, which, in turn, leads to effective self-expression and the adequate construction of the social communication process.
