This year Revaz Siradze presented his new book – “Culture and Imagology” to those interested in culture. Prof. Siradze offers a decisive research of cultural issues, connected with imagology of literature and art, and historical and modern conceptology. The book unites six researches, which represent the new reading-realization of concrete questions, on the basis of researches of imagology and modern conceptology, by taking into consideration traditional opinions. Imagological periodization introduced by R. Siradze (which joins four periods), maybe arguable for a lot of people, but it is worth mentioning that a new viewpoint, methodological approach will be distinguished on the basis of prolonged scientific research.

Essay – Time and Period –unites essential concepts, ideas and events connected with historical and contemporary conceptology. Prof. Siradze tries to represent the above mentioned issue by means of image perception. It should be noted that two essays of Siradze’s book – Sioni and Georgian Churchology and Svetitskhoveli, Aia-Sopia and Sioni” – should be analysed and perceived as a whole. These two researches form the basis for the preceding chapter – “Sveti-Tskhoveli” – Essence for Georgian’s Spiritual Life. In general, the reader will get acquainted and will realize the significance of Georgian’s spiritual life –inner-essence of Sveti –Tskhoveli and “Svetitskhoveli”.

One of the essays of the book – Toponymy “Gareja” and its ecclesiastic content – aims at clearing the debatable issues of scientific literature which are still disputable and cause discussions. In the essay – Bodi-Bodbre and Soji Queen – is singled out the issue of Bodbe baptizing during St. Nino (on the basis of “Moqtsevai Qartlisai”). There is also mentioned the special importance of Bodbe and entire Kakheti acquiring after St. Nino’s burring there. R. Siradze considers that the personality of Soji Queen also plays an important role in the importance of Bodbe, whose public life represents ”Big Kakheti’s” union with Georgian Christen world. The work – Ioane Petritse’s Imagology – is crucial for the perception of Ioane Petridze’s imagology.

We have an opportunity, in this complicated philosophical thinking, with the help of different viewpoints, to recognize the peculiarities of imaging being perceived and formed by the philosopher. We can define the place and importance of image in Petritse’s opinion about varieties of events. In the essay – Rustaveli’s aesthetical viewpoint - R. Siradze finds interesting explanations to the problems raised in scientific literature concerning Rustaveli’s aesthetical thinking and proves his viewpoints on the basis of theoretical-literary principles of middle ages, which represent the novelty and leads us towards the way of truth finding. In Siradze’s work - “tsasa tsatasa” (Queen Tamar’s Iambic) – R.

Siradze singles out essential observations and expresses a significant opinion, which can be explained and considered with the help ofimagology. In the essay – Galaktion’s “Blue Horses” and V. Kandinsky’s “Blue Hosreman” (towards inter-textual reading) – inter-textual analysis of the problems, representation of reminiscences and aesthetics helps us to guess and read the inner(spiritual) content of the creative works. R. Siradze shows us in wholeness the accompanying impulses of creative processes of the writers, spiritual being or poetic philosophy. R. Siradze’s research – Apocalypse of Book. Apocalyptic Contemplate “In St. Nino’s Life” – shows the importance, deep content of the text of “St Nino’s Life”.

It is a treasure of paradigmatic imagology, to be perceived and analyzed with the help of inter-textuality. In the essay – “They Stood and Waited”, “They Stand and Wait” – R. Siradze’s aim is to represent two sources of “High Mountains” by means of “inter-textual” reading: !. Evsevi Aleksandriely’s “Kviriaki” and 2. Goethe’s understanding of the nature of mountains in “From Voyage in Italy”. It should be noted that these works are first mentioned as source of “High Mountains” in this research. The essay – “A Soul Speaking with Action” – concerns the representation-consideration of Ilia Chavchavadze’s “Shadow”s problematic. The mentioned research offers rereading of “Shadow” in a new way.

Interpreting Shadow’s image and the whole poem in this way enables the reader to take a deep insight into Ilia Chavchavadze’s works and his view point. The essay – Towards Georgian Paradigmatic Imagology - ends R. Siradze’s book. It consists of several subheadings and represents inter-defining issues as a whole. The above mentioned research is one of the decisive and distinguishable between his numerous works and in general among Georgian scientific researches. Its essence is defined as from the point of view of literary theory, as well as general science. R. Siradze’s monograph – Georgian Culture and Imagology – enables us, to look at the history of imagology of Georgian literature, artistic-aesthetic or general-artistic study of literature, research-study of paradigmatic imagology of Georgian literature, Georgian thinking traditions, national aesthetic world perception, change of language perception, connection of cultural issues with historic and contemporary conceptology and others.

Therefore, the above mentioned book shows new-old words, ideas and events and opens a new spiritual world to the specialists and readers interested in Georgian culture.
