Self-regulating System of Academic and Civic Movements (the Case of Climate Change)

The aim of this paper is to analyze the campaign on global warming raised by academic communities and taken up by civic (environmental) movements. The self-regulating system of these movements involved certain mechanisms that ensured communication of the social organization, and this, in turn, stimulated the informational and cognitive activity of society. Methodology. The author uses as a methodological basis of this study the principles and methods of the culturological approach to the analysis of numerous publications concerning problems of global warming raised by academic communities and taken up by civic (environmental) movements. Results. The alliance between scientists, environmentalists and opinion leaders has ultimately brought the issue of global environmental change into the public order of the day. Novelty. In the article, our attention is focused on two different types of civic movements (academic society and social movements, in our case environmental ones). A new environmental consciousness is being created that leads to the widespread awareness of the reality, causes and effects of climate change through science-driven civic movements operating in and through the media and the Internet. Using the Internet as an organizational and advisory facilitator to engage and unite citizens, the pressure is placed on governments to address environmental issues.

Sociocultural aspects of the content of the concept of "guest": to the problem

The purpose of the article is to find out the socio-cultural conditions for the formation and gradual transformation of the content of the concept of "guest." The methodology of the study is based on an interdisciplinary combination of methods, principles, and approaches, integrated both with a general scientific methodological basis (analysis, synthesis, scientific certainty, and sub.) And with some liberal arts. Thus, linguistic methods were used to determine the etymological origin of the concepts "hospitality," "guest"; systemic - cultural and historical genesis and content of hospitality, anthropological - connection of the concept of "guest" with the social life of man. As a conceptual and theoretical basis for solving the purpose of the research, a culturological approach was used. Scientific Novelty. For the first time in Ukrainian cultural studies, the main directions for the study of the concept of "guest" are determined, in particular, by clarifying its origin and its connection with the socio-cultural aspects of human existence. Conclusions. In the process of socio-cultural transformations, the concept and status of the guest have changed. Now, this status guarantees personal safety and security of a person's property. The guest remains the main consumer, around which the whole modern system of service in the hospitality industry is built. At the same time, no matter how historically the concept of "guest" evolved - from its interpretation as "alien," "other" to the desired, desired - the original meaning remains in it. After all, in any case, the guest comes to someone else's territory, and therefore the opposite of his-stranger retains its main signs. Although it changes its poles, because it's foreign, the owner of the region, the representative of the country of visit, already becomes another, etc. Therefore, even in modern society, the main archaic structural and semantic aspects, in particular in the mutual relations of the guest and the host, retain their stability, and their basis is communication, which unfolds in a specifically symbolic time-space.

The Role of Local History Texts in Implementing the Culturological Approach to Teaching the Russian Language: the Basic General Education Level

The prevailing view in the scientific and methodological community has long been that the culturological approach to language studies (called the leading approach in linguodidactics at the turn of the 21st century at the IX International Congress of the International Association of Teachers of Russian Language and Literature (MAPRYAL) held in Bratislava in 1999) is necessary. The issue of means, ways and possibilities for students to master the values of spiritual and material culture through a language can be solved in various ways, but, in our opinion, one of the most effective ways is to include materials on local history and studies into the school curriculum for the Russian language course. Such materials are intended, first, for expanding both the students’ universal background knowledge and the knowledge of their country. In this context, one of the most important components aimed at implementing the culturological approach in Russian language lessons is a culturological text on local history and studies. Acquainting students with texts on local history and studies is aimed at ensuring the historical continuity of generations, preserving, distributing, and developing national culture, and fostering an attitude of care towards the historic and cultural heritage of the peoples of Russia (Makeev, 1995). All of the above has prompted the authors of this article to attempt presenting their view both on the significance of studying a text on local history and studies within the implementation of the culturological competence and including such texts in the system of educating and training students using the means of the Russian language course.

ИНТЕРТЕКСТ КАК ДУХОВНОЕ ПРОСТРАНСТВО КУЛЬТУРНОЙ ПАМЯТИ

Due to active globalization processes that form single information space intertext becomes spiritual space of cultural memory. Spiritual and moral issues in intertext are developed at several levels: mythological, religious, moral and ethical ones. Modern literature refers to folklore subjects and traditional values that act as a code of ethnic identification, the basis of a cultural matrix. The novelty of the study is determined by the culturological approach to the analysis of intertext as an important phenomenon representing both ethnic and universal human spiritual values.

V. Jabotinsky’s Concept of the Jewish Nation-Building in the Context of Ukrainian Revival in the Late 19th - Early 20th Centuries

The aim of the paper is to analyze the concept of Jewish nation-building by V. Jabotinsky, who is considered to be a leader of the Zionist movement in Ukraine, in terms of correlation of ideas and interactions between Jewish and Ukrainian national modern movements.Research methodology. The author uses a comprehensive culturological approach to examine nationalism and national movements as a general methodological basis of this study. The study also draws on the methodological principles of M. Feller’s Ukrainika Judaika (Ukrainian-Jewish studies) as an ethno-cultural science of Ukrainian Jewry in its deep relationship with the Ukrainians. Methods of comparative analysis, synthesis and historicism are also used.Results. Using V. Jabotinsky’s (a Zionism leader in Ukraine) intellectual heritage as an example, the author analyzes three groups of issues directly connected with the objectives of the Ukrainian national movement at that time, namely: the issue of the existential importance of national identity and factors of its development; the issue of national fringe elements, deprived of their origins; a program of interethnic understanding, coexistence on a real political basis. The analysis of texts shows the examples of the typological similarity of a large part of the statements of Jewish nationalists and Ukrainian nation-centered leaders. This fact allows us to conclude that there is an interpenetration and mutual influence in the process of the development of the Zionist and Ukrainian national movements. The common features of the historical destinies of two stateless nations represent the similarity of their national existence, the mechanisms of self-preservation and the nation-building as well as the development of the project of the nation future.Novelty. Ukrainian-Jewish studies as an understanding of the productive ways and an insight into the fundamental levels of coexistence of the Ukrainians and the Jewish people do not belong to the traditional themes of Ukrainian culturological thought that results in the scientific novelty of this study.The practical significance. The results of this study can be used to teach normative courses, special courses, electives on the history of culture, the history of Ukrainian philosophy, philosophy of the national idea, Judaism, as well as in the further study of modern national movements in Ukraine in terms of cultural dialogue and mutual enrichment.
