CULTURAL CODE AS THE SEMANTIC CONTENT OF SOCIO-CULTURAL ACTIVITIES: INTERCONNECTION AND MUTUAL INFLUENCE

Abstract

The article is devoted to the definition of the functional role of the cultural code in the theory and practice of social and cultural activities. The cultural code is a semantic matrix, the correlation of information with certain symbols, allowing us to understand their meaning. Modern socio-cultural activity is used as a powerful resource for the formation of the cultural component of Russian civic identity. The heuristic significance of the culturological approach to the study of the determinants of socio-cultural activity is revealed. There is a co-evolution of the cultural code and the content of socio-cultural activities. It is argued that, while undergoing historical changes, the cultural code retains the status of a semantic core and system-forming factor; there is an ontological unity of the cultural code and socio-cultural practices. The cultural code of Russia is aimed at strengthening the Russian statehood; it is the key to a shared vision of the world. There is a deep relationship and mutual influence of the potential of socio-cultural activities and the cultural code in the system of pedagogical activity. Scientists of the Siberian Federal University analyze the educational process as a space that helps solve a set of problems in the formation of a cultural code among young people in forms that are convincing to them and contribute to the process of their socialization in society.
