Preservation and transmission of the nation’s cultural code in the conditions of the information age: the experience of the National library of Belarus
Abstract
The phenomenon of the cultural code of a nation is considered as a complex symbolic system that includes a set of symbols, archetypes, ideas, norms, and value systems, with the help of which national self-consciousness is formed and the continuity of historical experience is ensured. The synthetic nature of the cultural code, its influence on the individual, value system, and social practices, as well as the dynamic processes of its adaptation to changing historical and technological realities, are analyzed.
Special attention is paid to the concept of glocalization, which reveals the dialectical interaction of global and local elements of culture. The activities of the National Library of Belarus and its role in the preservation and popularization of the national cultural heritage are considered
