Феноменология рубежности. К типологии культурных интерференций

Abstract

The article raises the question of the necessity to update the nomenclature of the humanities. A productive direction may be the appeal to the concept of borderline which has already been developed in a broad cultural field. However, using the concept of borderline requires adequate methodology which is not available within the modern scientific paradigm yet. Thus, the problem requires theoretical understanding from the point of view of phenomenology. What is meant by the phenomenological approach here is concentration on the anthropological, cultural (in a broad sense) reality of human existence. In this case, the phenomenology of works of art allows revealing much more meaning than traditional historical and cultural analysis. In other words, rather than study the correlation of forms, styles and movements, it is supposed to try to discover hidden narratives of the epoch of borderline as a special cultural landscape, since any borderline is, by definition, a chronotope of changes and renovations; it implies the emergence of a new quality of being, a new world relationship. The phenomenology of borderline reveals a dual cultural identity in which different semantic vectors are brought to the fore depending on the circumstances.
