Abstract

The analysis of the concept of “Renaissance” and the experience of its application in cultural and academic practice demonstrates the emphasis on such a semantic aspect as the restoration of the lost status, its re-actualization. This emphasis is due to the original use of the term “Renaissance”, symbolizing the restoration of the values of ancient culture. In the following centuries and today, we can note a situation in which this process is repeated, albeit on a smaller scale; when the very idea of the “revival” of cultural heritage is subjected to “revival”, thereby the boundaries of the meaning of the terms “Renaissance” and “neo-Renaissance” are expanded.
