Abstract
In the article, the authors, on the basis of a socio-technological approach, design step-by-step procedures for the renovation of sociocultural constants that have a constructive potential for the reproduction and development of regional communities. It is noted that the sociotechnological solution to the problem of the renovation of socio-cultural constants in the region presupposes the construction of this paper according to the model of an algorithm, which is the order of performing an exact sequence of actions that are clear to the executor, ensuring the achievement of the result. Proceeding from the nonlinearity of the constant renewal process, the authors substantiate the need to use a flexible algorithm, that is, an algorithm with branching, which assumes that the transition to subsequent procedures (actions) is carried out depending on the results of checking the performance of the previous procedure. In such an algorithm, reflection of completed procedures and, on the basis of it, the choice of possible further actions, which is quite adequate to the requirements of the socio-technological approach, acquires particular importance. In the algorithm for the renovation of sociocultural constants, the authors distinguish the following sequential procedures: initiation of the renovation of a constant or a system of constants; expert assessment of the validity of the choice; establishing the degree of complementarity of the constants to the dominant attitudes and orientations of the mass consciousness; establishing a normative interpretation of the content of a constant; decomposition of a constant in the form of a system of ideas, images, symbols, everyday ideas; the transformation of a constant into a permanent element of regional public discourse; formation of the “asset” constant; building a constant infrastructure. The basis for reflection at all stages of the constructed algorithm shall be the results of diagnostics (self-diagnostics).
Highlights
In a globalizing unstable society, where the relativity and conventionality of social realities are postulated, there is an urgent need for firmly established sociocultural guidelines recognized by the majority of citizens
The problem is considered in relation to the region, which is understood as any constituent entity of the Russian Federation, we shall talk about the support of most of the regional community, including both the regional elite and the bulk of the population [5]
Not all elements of social reality can be available for formalization and rationalization
Summary
In a globalizing unstable society (often defined by researchers as a “postmodern society” [1,2,3,4]), where the relativity and conventionality of social realities are postulated, there is an urgent need for firmly established sociocultural guidelines (constants) recognized by the majority of citizens They can become a reliable basis for social reproduction and development of society, including at the level of local communities (regions, cities and municipalities) These constants are immanently contained in the historical development of territories, and can potentially be revived and used considering the specifics of the current situation. Even if there is political will to solve the problem of renovation and social consensus about its importance, any actions aimed at updating socio-cultural constants in the new conditions require scientific substantiation
