КУЛЬТУРА ГОРОДСКОГО ПАРКА: ДИСПОЗИТИВНЫЙ И АКТОРНО-СЕТЕВОЙ АНАЛИЗ ПАРКА ИНТЕРНАЦИОНАЛИСТОВ В САНКТ-ПЕТЕРБУРГЕ

Abstract

The article is the first to comprehensively analyze the social, discursive, ideological, and compositional features of an urban park in a dormitory district of St. Petersburg, taking into account the actor-network theory. Chronological transformations of the Internationalist Park show the dynamics of culture and history of the neighborhood, and implicit values of different actors, including non-humans, reveal networks, practices and narratives that, when coexisting, cause conflicts and tensions due to unfinished needs of the actors. This article analyzes the elements of the park ensemble in the optics of actor-network theory as non-human actors with their own affordances. The Park is seen as an actor in a network of cultural reproduction and identity construction. The Park with its agency performs mainly the function of recreation in an ecologically authentic place and a scene of sporadic events, forming metaphors of a village garden and a mobile stage for unplanned encounters. The network topology of the park is composed of heterogeneous elements that form a dispositive ensemble. Things and ideas are considered as acting actors forming networks of relations. All objects of the network space (network nodes) can be reconstructed from media discourse and systematized without remainder in a conceptual model of actor interaction. Improvements to meet needs are proposed based on the ecological model of the park, identifying points of tension in the park as a structured network of actors.
