УКРАЇНСЬКИЙ ПРОЄКТ КУЛЬТУРАЛЬНИХ СТУДІЙ: АДАПТАЦІЯ ФРАНЦУЗЬКОГО ДОСВІДУ

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to identify and characterise the differences between the concepts of “cultural”, “culturological” and “culture-based”, as well as to outline the main methods of culture-based studies in modern French social science. The research methodology of the article is based on the application of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches to research in the field of culturology. The scientific novelty is to substantiate the appropriateness of applying the term “culture-based studies” to the definition of processes unfolding in the French humanities and associated exclusively with theoretical formations in the context of social sciences and differences from the term “cultural studies”. The concept of “culturebased studies” is introduced into the field of Ukrainian culturology for the first time. Also, for the first time, we have clarified the place and forms for culturology in the French humanities. Conclusions. Working with a source base and methodology is one of the points that are compulsory on the way to solve the tasks, the main of which is the formation of the body of fundamental works for French history (including the history of culture) and historiography of the period since the 1975 year to the present day. On the basis of this body, there is the prospect of building an alternative national culture-based studies project addressed to the vector of the French historiographical, historical-anthropological and cultural-related issues in the field of social knowledge. The article presents the arguments why it is appropriate to use the concept of “culture-based studies” in the context of researching concerning French humanitaristics, in particular, the modern period of its development.
