A psychosemantic analysis of the film "The Barber of Siberia"
(RESUME)

The psychosemantic approach to the study of personality realizes the paradigm of the "subject" approach to understanding another. The specificity of the approach is in studying a work of art through an intermediary - the recipient, trying to understand the work in its transformed shape - as an event, a spiritual experience in the life of another person. Reconstruction of the individually transformed existence of a work of art is performed by means of building subjective semantic spaces serving as operational models of the viewer's mind. In the study described in the paper a psychosemantic survey of spectators' impressions was used to reconstruct a system of artistic constructs structuring the meaning of a work of art.
