Purpose. The article suggests a new approach to system analysis of culture. In this connection, as an image, there is discussed the construct, which was created on the basis of the “symbolic message” from the work of A. de Musset. Exactly its influence, from the point of view of the author, generates destructive processes occurring in the cultural field at the level of structural links. Methodology.

The result of this work, first, can be considered conclusions about the need to identify factors that allow us to study the dynamics of socio-cultural life in various aspects. As one of these factors, the author suggests to use the “destruction factor”, with the help of which it is possible to understand and analyze the violations of structural bonds in culture. Practical implications. The results of the study can be applied in the field of studying trends in cultural paradigms, revealing their stability and viability. In practical terms, the results of the research can be applied in the teaching of general and special courses of the history and philosophy of culture.
