Abstract



The article proposes to review irony category as cultural context figure, representing the substitution of existing sense by hidden one, and fixing the interruption of common perception or communication and intention to sense creation renewal. The transformation of sense in different cultural paradigms allows revealing of such fundamental features of ironical discourse as reflectivity, contrariety, axiologity. The strict definition of culturological and aesthetical terms, close to irony, their specific and interrelation, revels the content of this cultural universal term. The holistic historical and cultural understanding of irony, as human conscience position and human being existential, which indicates to possibility of its’ further establishment, is proposed into article. The cultural transformations of irony term reveal the genesis of its’ philosophical content. The classical metaphysics understood irony as methodological strategy of knowledge acquiring, but modern and postmodern modality philosophy underlines its’ human measured content. During the process of total semiotic reformation of culture irony looses the destructive potential, becomes the therapeutically procedure and deep quotation, representing the inter textuality of culture, but denies the possibility to prove ontological authentity or creative originality.
