“Heroic” cinematography in art criticism discourse: conceptosphere

The purpose of the article is a theoretical under-standing of the conceptual sphere of “heroic” cinema-tography as a genre formation. The subject of research in this article is the conceptual sphere of “heroic” cinematography.
 The research methodology is based on the morpho-logical approach in art criticism and those ideas in the theory of film studies, which are contained in the works of H. Batalina, V. Horpenko, R. Cohen and others. We use the idea of V. Horpenko that “the specified problems of terminology demonstrate the complexity of their solution, and, in the end, from many options, you need to take one general direction, which should determine the system-forming methodology” (Horpenko, 2013, p. 77), it is the morphological approach that is the system-forming methodology for the subject of our research. Methodological approaches of Ukrainian media studies researchers outlined in the study “Media studies in the European integration discourse of Ukraine” are also used (Media studies, 2022).
 The result of the research presented in this article. 1. Formation of the conceptual sphere of a specific scientific problem is a necessary and multifaceted pro-cess. It requires not only the definition of the “title” research concepts, but also the levels of their use as scientific tools. 2. The basic principles of the formation of the conceptual sphere of the “heroic” film research are outlined and the semantic connections of the “title” concepts “hero” and “heroism” with the subject of the study are defined. The levels and vectors of the use of these concepts as a working toolkit for the study of “heroic” cinematography are characterized. 3. The polymorphism of “heroic” cinematography as a special morphological formation of modern cinematography is indicated.
 The scientific novelty of the study lies in the understanding of the basic principles of the existence of the conceptual sphere of the study of “heroic” cinematography as the newest polymorphic formation of Ukrainian cinematography.
 The practical significance of the results of the study based on the intelligent use of the specified scientific tools in the future research of modern Ukrainian cinematography.

Approval of Democracy in Modern Ukraine: European Integration Discourse

The study is dedicated to identifying the grounds and factors for the establishment of democracy in post-Soviet Ukraine. The objective grounds for establishing democratic values include national traditions, the territorial and spiritual unity of Ukrainians, and developed a civil society. Taken together, they create the basis for the formation of the main foundations of a consolidated democracy in Ukraine. The main challenges and threats to democracy in Ukraine are related to the functioning of the artefacts of a totalitarian society in the spheres of management, economy, culture, ideology, and, at the current stage, the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.Internal threats include the existence of confrontational dividing lines in society (regional opposition, shadow economy, corruption schemes, social injustice, confessional confrontation, resisting the establishment of the state language, etc.). The main external threats are the interference of the Russian Federation in the sovereign rights of Ukraine to implement its own development strategy.The guarantee of building a consolidated democracy in Ukraine is the collective will of the society itself, which performs a dual creative function: on the one hand, it acts as an initiator and donor of positive democratic changes in the country, on the other, it performs the functions of public control over the activities of all branches of government in their observance of the constitutional principles of state life. The fundamental result of the consolidated efforts of the authorities and civil society is Ukraine's legislatively supported integration course.

THE ROLE OF THE STATE JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION OF UKRAINE IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT OF JUSTICE

In recent years, due to numerous transformations of the legal framework for the functioning of the judiciary, the scientific community has focused on the fundamentals of the judiciary, the legal status of courts, the features of judicial protection of human rights and other important aspects of judicial law. Naturally, the issue of organizational support of justice is a derivative compared to the issues of the judiciary and the legal status of courts and judges. However, we should not forget that even in the context of reforms, the courts continue to operate and the bodies responsible for the organizational support of justice operate. And in this case, the problems of ineffective legal regulation and the implementation of organizational support of justice often make it impossible to achieve the effectiveness of any reforms, and often nullify them. Considering the above, it is critical to revive the scientific discussion on the issues of organizational support of the judiciary. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the role of the State Judicial Administration in the organizational support of justice. The article reviews the role of the State Judicial Administration in the organizational support of justice. Emphasis is placed on the European integration discourse of the study of the legal status of the SJA. Conceptual -categorical, structural-functional and organizational aspects of determining the role of the SJA in the organizational support of justice are described. The importance of further research into the role of the SJA in the financial provision of full and independent justice, analysis of the communicative activity of the SJA in the system of organizational support of justice, as well as finding ways to stimulate innovation activity was emphasized. Key words: State Judicial Administration of Ukraine, organizational support of justice, full and independent justice, system of subjects of organizational support of justice, innovation activity.

СЛОВОТВІРНИЙ ПОТЕНЦІАЛ ДЕВЕРБАТИВІВ В ЄВРОІНТЕГРАЦІЙНОМУ ДИСКУРСІ: МОРФОНОЛОГІЧНИЙ АСПЕКТ

The article is devoted to the study of the derivational potential of verb derivatives in the European integration discourse. This study identifies and characterizes the word-forming and morphonological features of verb derivatives at the explicit and implicit levels in Ukrainian scientific and journalistic texts related to the European integration of Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to analyze the morphonological-formative word-forming markers of verb derivatives in texts related to the European integration of Ukraine. The relevance of the topic is determined by the in-depth and comprehensive study of the European integration issues in Ukraine within texts of various styles, both explicitly and implicitly, in Ukrainian scientific and journalistic texts, focusing on the word-forming and mornophonological aspect. The texts dedicated to the European integration of Ukraine present productive types of deverbatives of substantive, verbative and adjectival blocks. The analysis of morphonological-formative word-forming markers of verb derivatives provides a description of the morphonological facts of deriving words using morphonological rules. The texts predominantly feature derivational and stylistic means characteristic of the modern Ukrainian language. Word formation of deverbatives in the European integration texts reflects the tendencies of intellectualization and democratization as factors of language development. The functioning and active usage of verb derivatives in the European integration discourse is explained by taking into account the societal needs for nominating processes, objectified actions, and phenomena with pragmatic orientation, as well as their utilization in scientific and journalistic styles. The narratives of the linguistic markers on social networks regarding the European integration of Ukraine mostly coincide with the narratives of the Ukrainian official media.

NEW VISION OF CONCEPT EUROPE (A LINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVE)

This article presents a study of the concept EUROPE, done in the area of cognitive linguistics. The concept EUROPE is considered a conceptual quantum of structured knowledge, possessing of different meanings. The article analyzes the concept EUROPE from a linguistic point of view, which allowed to reveal a number of specific features of its semantics, to get a more comprehensive and diverse view of it by constructing cognitive schemes implementing concept EUROPE, as well as to identify basic metaphorical models. Involvement of methods of conceptual analysis allows to present the analised concept in the form of a certain conceptual model, a special way organized conceptual scheme. With the help of the conceptual model of the Subject frame the cognitive dynamics of the concept development in the European integration discourse is revealed.
 Political metaphor is one of the most common and effective policy tools. The research material is characterized by the use of metaphors belonging to such basic types, which are related to the reference spheres as the sociomorphic sphere, the anthropomorphic sphere, the sphere of artifacts and the sphere of nature. Conceptual metaphors of European integration discourse use in their codes the conceptual fields “space”, “travel”, “movement”, “construction”, “work results”, “family relations”, “nature”, “sports”, “art”, etc.

THE METAPHOR IN POLITICS: SEMANTIC AND LINGUISTIC PRAGMATIC ASPECTS

The peculiar features in the theoretical and practical study of political metaphors in their semantics and pragmatics were found in the article. The article discusses the relationship and interaction between language and politics in the field of European integration discourse. It was found that the metaphor is an important factor that constitutes discourse. This paper has shown that political metaphor of European integration process takes a pragmatic goal of reflecting the reality existing in European society as model of a new society without war, where the culture of each nation will be saved. The political metaphor is one of the popular and effective policy instruments. The main principal types of metaphors that used in analyzed discourse are associated with referent fields as sociomorphic area, anthropomorphic sphere, the sphere and scope of nature artefacts. Conceptual metaphors European integration discourse used codes in their conceptual field “space”, “travel”, “movement”, “building”, “Labour results”, “relationship”, “nature”, “Sport”, “art” etc.

THE PRINCIPLE OF BINARITY IN THE FORMATION OF EURO-INTEGRATING ENGLISH DISCOURSE

The article is focuses on the peculiarities of English European integration political discourse concepts.The article is devoted to the investigation of peculiarities of European integration discourse concepts through the representation of the opposition «our» – «other’s» in them. The aim of the study is to examine how the opposition «past» – «future» represents the common semiotic opposition «our» – «other’s». The article is done in the cognitivefunctional aspect. The specific of enlargement ideology was demonstrated, which is the moving force of the European integration discourse. The first attempt is done to analyse the concept EUROPE as a linguistic phenomenon and to get a multifaceted overview about it. Some semantic peculiarities of this concept are revealed. It was proved that the politicization of society has led to the emergence of various modern realizations of the ancient opposition «our» – «other’s». This opposition is becoming an important model for the interpretation of relations in society.The results of this study may suggest a broader hypothesis for further research into the diachronic investigation of the opposition «our» – «other’s» in the English political discourse with the help of the complex analysis which was proposes in this paper.

‘The fatherland perished in the frozen wastes of Russia’: West-Germans in search of the European soldier, 1940–1967

ABSTRACTAlthough the European Union is today largely understood as the guarantor of peace and prosperity on the continent, a continued but neglected aspect of discourses of European integration has been military integration. The idea of a European army appealed in particular to West-German military elites. European military integration, they understood in part as a pragmatic response to technological and geopolitical developments. But they also sought to conceive of a way to safeguard both the West-German state and the Christian Occident from Bolshevik invasion. The solution was a European soldier, who embodied a set of masculine, Christian values. Such an image was a result of experiences gathered on the Eastern Front during the Second World War, which continued to shape the West-German military elite’s thinking about European integration into the late 1960s.

ІНСТИТУТ ГРОМАДЯНСТВА СУСПІЛЬСТВА МОДЕРНУ: ПРОБЛЕМА РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ В УКРАЇНІ

Досліджується проблема реального змісту громадянства в Україні, ступеня реалізації в даному інституті західноєвропейської моделі національного громадянства. Розкриваються основні положення сучасної концепції національного громадянства, головні характеристики моделі громадянства епохи модерну та її динаміка в умовах глобалізації. Дається авторська інтерпретація відповідності політико-юридичної форми і змісту інституту громадянства в українських умовах. Показано, що оскільки політичні рішення (закони) щодо інституту громадянства як форми конкретного політичного явища приймаються відповідно до інтересів політичної еліти, його фактичний змістможе бути неадекватним декларованій формі. Відзначається, щореалізаціязахідноєвропейської моделі національного громадянства в межах однієї держави в умовах трансформації самої моделі, а також викликів і ризиків, пов’язаних із глобалізацією, тягне за собою інституційний дисбаланс. Відмічено, що розвиток інституту громадянства неможливий без його підкріплення реальними можливостями рівноправного для всіх громадян доступу до реалізації прав власності та центрів прийняття державних рішень.

Fading EUphoria at the Dutch‐German Border? The Case of Avantis

AbstractThe paper deals with the failure of the Avantis cross‐border business estate. The inception of this hitherto largely undeveloped site took place in the early 1990s, a period which we suggest characterising with the notion of EUphoria, that is, a widely held belief in the future of a borderless Europe. EUphoria is seen as the key to bringing together otherwise separate discourses under one shared ambition of constructing a cross‐border business estate. With the fading of EUphoria, however, Avantis resurfaces as a shared problem and appears to have been built on expectations and promises held within a discourse of European integration rather than among private investors. In retrospect, Avantis as a product of EUphoria remains a EUtopia, albeit with very few believers.

European Member State Elites’ Diverging Visions of the European Union: Diverging Differently since the Economic Crisis and the Libyan Intervention?

In the midst of the EU’s economic crisis and in the heat of the Libyan intervention, immediate concerns have seemingly crowded out consideration of the long-term issues that have been at the center of the major debates, such as the constitutionalization of the EU, enlargement to the east, or the EU as a global actor. But although these issues appear to be forgotten, the underlying questions about what the EU should be and do that nourished the debates remain. Although each member state naturally has its own specific answer to these questions, the answers have more generally divided into four basic discourses about the EU as a free market, a values-based community, a rights-based union, and/or a strategic global actor. Leaders’ visions of the EU have long appeared associated with particular discourses, with these continuing to inform and explain their actions. But their responses to the economic crisis of the EU as well as to the humanitarian crisis of Libya have thrown such discourses, whether understood in terms of path dependence or incremental development, into question, since some member state leaders’ discourses and/or actions marked radical shifts, and others greater drifts, from the past, at least in the heat of the moment. The question this article therefore poses is whether EU visions are not simply continuing to diverge but also whether they are diverging differently in the aftermath of the EU’s recent crises in economics and international action. It will assess this through the lens of European political elites’ discourses of European integration and international relations, with special attention to the three biggest member states, Britain, France, and Germany.

The Evolution of Dutch European Discourse: Defining the ‘Limits of Europe’

The period since the early 1990s has seen a marked shift in the terms of Dutch European discourse, as dramatically highlighted by the country's ‘No’ vote in its 2005 referendum on the European Constitutional Treaty. The present paper examines the trajectory of this discursive shift, suggesting that a traditional ‘federalist’ referential has been replaced by an elite discourse focused primarily on defining the ‘limits of Europe’ in intersecting substantive and geographical terms. A general framework for the understanding of national discourses of European integration is first set out, highlighting the key role played by national elites as mediators between the European and the national political systems. The Dutch case is then examined against this background, chronicling the general terms of the ‘critical turn’ in national European discourse, the 2005 referendum campaign, post-referendum party positioning and discussions surrounding the 2007 Reform Treaty. Despite the persistence of strong, underlying support for Dutch EU membership, it is finally argued that The Netherlands has not (as yet) found a stable, cohesive national narrative of its ‘fit’ and ‘place’ in the contemporary (post-enlargement) project of European integration.

Trapped by their ideas: French élites' discourses of European integration and globalization1

Until relatively recently, French élites seemed to have found a winning combination for the communicative discourses through which they legitimated European integration and responded to globalization. First, the Gaullist discourse underplayed the loss of sovereignty by emphasizing the gains to interests and identity through French leadership in Europe. Next, the Mitterrandist discourse updated the ideas in the Gaullist paradigm to legitimate further institutional integration while it added a new rationale for greater economic integration: Europeanization as a shield against globalization. The discourse in the Chirac years did little to change or update this discourse. The problem today is that neither the institutional nor the economic ideas in the discourse are persuasive: the public is convinced that France no longer leads Europe and that Europe no longer protects against globalization. And yet, French élites seem trapped in the old discourse, unable to develop new ideas capable of legitimating France in Europe and the world. This was dramatized by the 2005 French ‘no’ vote on the Constitutional Treaty, and did not change with the 2007 French presidential elections.
