The Mythologem Eros-Logos and its sense generative functions in the story "Garnet bracelet" by A. Kuprin

The articl deals with the sense – evocative paradigms of an erotologikal myth dominating the system of mythemes incarnated in the story. Analysis of the world–simulating coordinate, system of characters, plot structure of the story results in a conclusion about reaccentuation of the opposition "cosmos – chaos" typical of the European culture. Kooprins artistic thought reveals the conceptual insufficiency and idleness of a one-way apology of the efficiently logical basis characteristic of modern civilization.
