The subject of this article is the image of Seraphim from the story of the same name by Yordan Yovkov, included in the collection “A Womans Heart”. The aim is to examine the uniqueness of this artistic image in the new Bulgarian literature from a theological point of view. The image of Seraphim as a projection of the folk motif of Christ’s descent to earth. The human heart is the center of man’s experiences in his communion with God. It is a moral principle that elevates and separates man from the vanity of this world. It is also a col lective metaphor, which gives homogeneity to the stories from the collection “Women’s Heart”.

The article interprets the correlation between the museum as an institution and the urban memory as a social phenomenon. The historical connection between the museum and memory as a social reality is outlined with examples from the Bulgarian cultural environment. The conceptual basis of analysis is Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of the city as habitat and habitus. The artifactual relationship between the museum and memory is unfolded in the interpretive logic of the idea of the museum as a topos of active communications between values and audiences. The buildings, reserves, and historical complexes in which the museum narratives flows are the second contact zone between the two phenomena. Art, not least, provides the aesthetic fields of elevation and creative uplift through which the museum and memory condense the semantic and artistic connections between each other. In conclusion, it is emphasized that the museum and the city memory are inseparable – not only in the space of the exposition and the historical object, but also in the symbolic fields of cultural communication – intergenerational and intragenerational. As a rule, what lives in the museum as atefacticity and message has its imprints in the collective memory; and vice versa.
