HIERARCHICAL RELATION IN THE BODY: THE RITUAL MOVEMENT OF DUA AND ITS REFLECTION IN ISLAMIC MULTIMODAL COMMUNICATION
Keywords:
Corporeality, dua, ritual movement, hierarchical relationship, multimodal communication, metaphorical gesture, fractality.Abstract
The article discusses the ritual movement accompanying the pronunciation of dua as a bodily form of expression of the hierarchical relationship between God and the World in Islamic culture. The study is based on the procedural logic of Islamic thinking, the theory of conceptual metaphor and the author's model of fractal reproduction of semantic structures. Empirical material includes sermons and narrative interviews with Muslims. It is shown that the structure of the dua movement is reproduced in non-ritual communication, fixing the difference between the source of action and the perceiving subject and preserving the semantic design of the Islamic worldview at the bodily level.
