The research methodology is based on the application of the method of phenomenological analysis to reveal the essence of the phenomenon of memory, penetration into the implicit layers of value-semantic semantics of the content of the concepts "communicative memory", "cultural memory"; the method of hermeneutic interpretation is used to understand the phenomenon of "national-cultural memory"; method of semiotic analysis - when addressing the structures of consciousness that generate the value-content continuum of culture; the method of intentional analysis was used in the reconstruction of semantic intentions of the phenomenon of a creative personality. The scientific novelty of the article is that for the first time a theoretical concept was proposed, which allows considering the problem of cultural memory in terms not only of the collective but also of the individual dimension, namely - through the prism of the phenomenon of the creative personality. In this regard, it is substantiated that the methodological basis for the study of creative personality can be: the anthropocentric approach, personalized approach, as well as the method of "representative figures" and the biographical method. The author's clarification of the concept of "national-cultural memory" is offered. Conclusions.
