Early XXI Century Research Articles

Распределение сенсорной лексики в локальных армянских текстах XIX-XXI вв.

The aim of the research is to determine the nature of distribution of sensory perception vocabulary in local poetic texts about Armenia in the Russian literature of the three periods: the XIX century, the early XX century, the early XXI century. Local texts make it possible not only to describe the history of the country, its cultural, moral and ethical values, but they also create an opportunity to study the peculiarities of their perception by the author of a literary work. The paper investigates the specifics of Armenia’s perception by analysing sensory vocabulary in poems. Scientific novelty of the paper lies in using a quantitative approach involving a number of statistical procedures (coefficient of variation, Busemann coef cient, chi-square criterion, approximation of frequency distributions using an exponential function), which allows the researcher to shed light on the linguistic mechanisms of creating an artistic image of Armenia. As a result of the analysis, patterns and trends reflecting the use of sensory vocabulary in the description of the artistic world of local texts about Armenia have been identified, the ratio of decorative and dynamic descriptions has been determined. It has been found that the dynamics of the description changed to static during the transition from the first to the second period. In the third period, the paradigm of perception modes expanded and the perception types themselves are used with frequencies that correspond to an exponential distribution.

Поэтика романа инициации в современной литературе США

The aim of the research is to identify the genre features of the poetics of the initiation novel in the national literary tradition of the USA. The paper highlights the genre-forming features of the initiation novel: invariant elements of composition, chronotope, motif-thematic complexes, character systems; determines the role of the genre in the formation of the national identity of American literature. The research makes a theoretical contribution to the study of the genre: the term “initiation novel” is introduced, an intra-genre classification is proposed, which accounts for the scientific originality. Three genre forms are distinguished within the initiation novel: the novel of release, the novel of overcoming and the novel of discovery. Works of the American literature of the early XXI century the plot-forming basis of which are the themes of growing up, gender, existential, cultural self-identification of teenagers, problems of overcoming crises, post-traumatic syndrome serve as the research material. As a result, it has been proved that the genre under study has unique features that can be traced at all levels of the literary text.

Deported Lemkos in the Nets of Soviet Post-war Propaganda

The article reveals the complex pages of the notoriously planned Soviet propaganda among the deportees in the post-war period. It shows its detrimental effect on the preservation of the ethnic foundations of the Lemko group.
 Considering that Lemkivshchyna today had lost its integrity as a historical and ethnographic region, and the Lemkos were settled around the world - these only actualize the task to a comprehensive and thorough analysis of the socio-political and national-cultural processes in the region and Lemkos in their context in the new era; to ascertain the role of Lemkivshchyna and Lemkos in the ethnopolitics of the states and, accordingly, their contribution to the development of various Ukrainian public, political, cultural and state organizations, institutions and entities, and generally assess their role and significance in the history of Ukraine of XX - early XXI century.
 It is claimed that the whole catastrophe of modern times for the Lemkos was their deportation from their native ethnic areas, first to the USSR in 1944 - 1946, where they found themselves among their people, but not on their land, and later - in 1947 those who remained were settled in Poland. New powerful political-administrative and ideological factors against the local population during the Soviet-Polish negotiations were used. The most brutal action against local Ukrainians was Operation Vistula in April-July 1947, which unjustifiably had the task of erasing traces of their national image in peacetime.
 The difficult stages of life in the Lemko region in the conditions of deportation actions of the 1940s, carried out as a result of the Soviet-Polish conspiracy of 1944 are traced, and pointed out their territorial, social, cultural and mental consequences.А reflection of Russian and later Soviet propaganda, at first, in the Lemkos region, and later among the deported Lemkos, is carried out.
 The deportation of the local population has led to irreversible territorial, demographic, cultural and mental losses. The analysis of the sources allows us to suggest that the policies of both Poland and the USSR aimed at eradicating Lemko natives from their ethnic areas. And this was done by various methods, starting with propaganda, in the initial stages, to using force at later stages.
 Having been deported to the Ukrainian SSR from their ethnic territories in Poland, autochthonous Lemkos fell into the nets of total Soviet propaganda. Soviet ideologues tried to involve the most diverse methods, which even in the interwar period manifested in different ways (from public influences, populist calls for a better future, active agitation for leaving the USSR), were well supported materially. At the beginning of the Second World War, we observed a transition to more pragmatic measures through the organization of a special centre and the activities of special agitator instructors. In the post-war period, meetings and conversations with the population took place in almost every village, in which Soviet agitators contrasted poverty in Lemkivshchyna with prosperous life in the USSR. Such oral propaganda, moreover, in all regions of the Ukrainian SSR where the Lemkos arrived, the Bolsheviks reinforced with various slogans, brochures and appeals.

Caspian Sandy Natural Focus: Phylogenetic History and Origin of <i>Yersinia pestis</i> Strains

The purpose of the work was to analyze the phylogenetic relations and origin of Yersinia pestis strains isolated in different periods of epizootic activity of the Caspian sandy natural focus (CSNF) of plague in the XX–XXI centuries.Materials and methods. We used 40 Y. pestis strains from CSNF and adjacent plague foci, isolated in 1922–2015. Carried out was whole genome sequencing of 19 Y. pestis strains from CSNF. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using whole genome SNP analysis based on 1914 identified SNPs. The search for marker SNPs was conducted using the Snippy 4.6 software. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using the Maximum Likelihood algorithm, the GTR nucleotide substitution model.Results and discussion. The whole genome SNP analysis has revealed that Y. pestis strains of the medieval biovar from CSNF belong to 2.MED1 phylogenetic lineage and fall into two major branches. One of them circulated in the focus in the first half of the XX century, and the other – in the second half of the XX – early XXI centuries. It is shown that strains of the first branch were the cause of outbreaks and individual cases of plague in the CSNF in the first half of the XX century. They are closely related to strains from the Caspian North-Western steppe and Volga-Ural sandy natural plague foci, which caused numerous outbreaks with high mortality rate in the same period. Y. pestis strains from the CSNF of the second half of the XX and early XXI centuries belong to the second phylogenetic branch of the 2.MED1 line, at the node of which the strains from the Northern Aral Sea region of 1945 lay. The latter were the predecessors of all strains isolated in the CSNF after a long inter-epizootic period that occurred in the middle of the XX century. There can also be traced a genetic relation between the strains from CSNF and the Dagestan plain-foothill focus.

Опыт палестинского отчуждения в романе Адании Шибли «Незначительная деталь»

The paper examines the issue of a person’s alienation using the novel “Minor Detail” by the Palestinian writer Adania Shibli as an example. The researcher proves that alienation from the outside world helps the heroine to strive for personal freedom. The study aims to provide insight into the issue of alienation of Palestinians in Adania Shibli’s novel “Minor Detail”. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that the paper is the first to carry out a comprehensive analysis of this work through the lens of the alienation technique. As a result, it has been determined that the technique of removing characters from public life and depersonalising them makes it possible to delve into the essence of the Arab-Israeli conflict and create a realistic picture of the Palestinian life in the late XX - early XXI century.

MAIN DIRECTIONS OF RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT OF GRIGORY VASHCHENKO PEDAGOGICAL FIGURE

Among the famous Ukrainian scientists, prominent teachers, educators, public figures of the first half of the twentieth century a worthy place is occupied by Gryhoriy Gryhorovych Vashchenko (1878–1967), an outstanding representative of Ukrainian culture, statesman and public figure, writer, scientist-educator with his own understanding of ways to reform national education and school, teacher-practitioner, whose pedagogical heritage is more than 100 works and deserves in-depth study.Generalization and systematization of scientific research of historical and pedagogical direction of the late XX - early XXI centuries allow us to say that the figure, activity and scientific and theoretical heritage of Gryhoriy Vashchenko have become the subject of in-depth analysis, have caused discussion among scientists and the public. The aim of the article is to single out the main directions of elaboration of the researched problem of the pedagogical figure on the example of the outstanding Ukrainian teacher of the XX century Gryhoriy Vashchenko.To understand the origins of the formation of worldviews of the teacher, sound, consistent study of the chosen topic, we turn to sources: 1) which cover the history of formation and development of pedagogical thought, which influenced the formation of his original pedagogical position, ideas, beliefs; 2) which reflect socio-political, socio-economic changes in the history of Ukraine; 3) which contain methodological approaches, criteria for studying the problem; 4) which reflect the activities of the scientist, full of promising innovative searches, achievements in the development of non-standard approaches to upbringing, personal education, aimed at improving methods of teaching and educating young people; 5) historical and pedagogical researches of the times of independence of Ukraine, the authors of which fragmentarily investigated separate directions of activity of the scientist. The available source base allowed us to identify nine areas of elaboration of the researched problem: philosophical-methodological, historical-narrative, scientific-personalistic, historical-pedagogical, general-didactic, spiritual-conceptual, axiological-generalizing, archival-integrative, auxiliary-integration.In the course of the research it was established that G. Vashchenko first of all addressed the world history of pedagogical systems, understood the process of building the national education system as an extremely difficult and responsible task, called to take into account the experience of Ukraine’s education system during “the tsarist period”, and “bilshovyk rule”, and during the short and bright period of the “renaissance of Ukrainian education and schooling”, which fell, according to the teacher himself, in 1917–1923. G. Vashchenko was also convinced that it is necessary to use in a building of a national education system better achievements of Western Europe and America. Such a well-founded approach to the education of the scientist-statesman, which the historian of pedagogy and a contemporary of the reflected events left a rich and valuable factual material, was dictated by the care and love for his people. G. Vashchenko, based on research in the field of pedagogy and psychology of domestic and foreign scientists (V. Vakhterov, J. Dewey, P. Kapterev, V. Lay, P. Lesgaft, M. Montessori, G. Skovoroda, K. Ushinsky, etc.), enriched the domestic pedagogical science. His scientific proposals on ways to form a creative personality, the introduction of subject-subject relations in education, the processes of humanization, nationalization and democratization of education, the development of education are especially important today - during the development of the national school, revision of education, introduction of new forms and learning technologies.The concept of spiritual and moral education of youth, created by G. Vashchenko, now needs its awareness for the events of the early XXI century. The research does not cover all aspects of the problem and requires further study of the pedagogical heritage of G. Vashchenko.

Ukrainian National Revolution as a factor in the development of the law of Ukraine-Rus in the XVII century

The paper examines the impact of signifi cant historical events associated with the Ukrainian National Revolution of the 17th century to changes in the legal sphere, which were the origins of legal norms that have a long-term eff ect. In Ukraine, the jump in interest in the history of socio-cultural and state-legal institutions in our country and on the European continent is largely due to the events of the late XX –early XXI century, formation of Ukraine as an independent state. The problem became even more relevant in connection with the events in Ukraine in 2013-2014, as well as the temporary loss of Crimea and the occupation of some eastern territories, the desire to rewrite the history of development and achievements of our country. In the history of Ukraine and many other European countries highlights the events of the midseventeenth century in terms of their then signifi cance and long-term impact on the development of social and legal institutions in the future: the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, which was the source of modern international law; The English Revolution led by O. Cromwell; Ukrainian National Revolution led by B. Khmelnytsky. The aim of the paper is to study the impact of signifi cant historical events related to the B. Khmelnytsky Revolution on changes in the legal sphere, which were a source of legal norms that had long-term eff ect, as well as to compare the consequences of large-scale historical events in Ukraine and Europe to the development of the legal doctrine of the New Time. At the beginning of the XVII century in the Ukrainian-Russian lands there was a situation that can be called “revolutionary”. Legal sources related to the rule of Polish magnates, the Polish nobility and the Catholic Church in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth ceased to exist. “Cossack law” became widespread, which meant the system of customary law, which was formed in the Zaporozhian Sich and was integrated into public relations during the Ukrainian National Revolution. Zaporozhian customary law was perceived not only as local, but also as purely national. Deep religiosity was one of the hallmarks of the Cossacks, and the protection of the Orthodox faith of ancestors and the church was the basis of their lives. The National Revolution in Ukraine in 1648–1676 was related to large-scale sociopolitica movements in a number of Central and Western European countries. Its signifi cance lay in the restoration of state life, the formation of the Ukrainian state idea, and the development of national consciousness. As a result of the turbulent events of the Ukrainian National Revolution, the development of legal institutions took a diff erent path than the development of legal institutions in European countries associated with the end of the Thirty Years’ War and the adoption of the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. Unlike the transformations in European countries, the events in Ukraine have not become a direct source in the legal sphere; in this regard there are not yet suffi cient conditions for signifi cant changes. Considering the further historical development of Ukraine, these events were only a necessary impetus for such changes in the future. Key words: Ukrainian National Revolution, necessary and suffi cient conditions for changes in the legal sphere, the origins of law.

О синтаксической интерпретации русской прозы конца ХХ — начала ХХI века

The appeal to the syntactic interpretation of modern prose discourse is motivated by the inadequacy of a grammatical approach to new linguistic phenomena, an obvious gap between cultural studies, literary studies and linguistic studies.

The aim of this article. The purpose of the article is to analyze the historical processes of the development of ballroom choreography in the Caucasian countries in the second half of the 20th century - early XXI century. Research methodology. The following methods were used in the work: historical and historical-genetic - to understand the genesis, the specifics of the processes of development of ballroom dance; source study - for the selection and processing of sources related to the art of ballroom dancing; comparative - to compare the historical periods of the evolution of ballroom culture; included observation - to view individual choreographic works and their preliminary comprehension. Novelty. For the first time, an attempt is made to scientifically study topical issues of the development of ballroom choreography in the Caucasian countries in the second half of the 20th century - early XXI century. Results. The article highlights the peculiarities of historical processes of ballroom choreography development in the Caucasian countries in the second half of the XX century - early XXI century. The history of formation, local specifics of ballroom choreography in Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan are analyzed. Ballroom choreography in the Caucasian countries has been constantly evolving in recent decades: the number of its supporters is growing, associations have become members of international federations, and the training of ballroom dance specialists has improved. It is concluded that the gradual integration of ballroom dancing into the international socio-cultural space is a common trend in these countries. It is emphasized that the majority of the amateur target audience of ballroom choreography in Caucasian countries is children's and junior contingent. On the other hand, the mass popularization of ballroom dancing as a recreational and health resource among the middle-aged and elderly is almost non-existent, and in this respect, the Caucasian countries lag far behind the Western world with its more developed social policies against ageism. Broadcasting the experience of different generations of ballroom dancers gives the right to talk about the heritage of ballroom choreography traditions in Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. Keywords: ballroom choreography, ballroom dance, competition dance.

The embodiment of postmodernism categories in the artist’s biography

The thesis objective is to reveal the specifics of implementing postmodernism categories in the artist’s biography via involving the conceptions of culture theorists. The research methodology: a complex of approaches has been applied for the integral comprehension of the given issues, i.e. biographical, analytical, historical, hermeneutic, systemic, the one of theoretic generalisation and some others. The scientific novelty. For the first time ever, national humanitarian studies are represented by the thesis identifying the issue of a creative personality’s biography from the position of implementing postmodernism basics. Conclusions. Postmodernism is the artistic and aesthetic trend of the late XX – early XXI centuries being characterized as a unique outlook focused on sociocultural renewal, seeking the progressive ways of spiritual evolution and denying the traditional ideas of art. The aforementioned trend absolutizes anthropological issues, thus, its predominant task is the grasp of the creative personality essence as the driving force of ontological processes. The artist’s biography becomes the central personality-focused genre able to meet the philanthropic needs of the century. Its content, purpose and existence conditions are presupposed by the impact of the basic philosophical categories of the era: pluralism, play, irony, intertextuality and some others. Pluralism is revealed via admitting the truthfulness of multifaceted views, different interpretations of the master’s biography and the multitude of presentation variations depending upon the intellectual and moral level of the audience. The play illustrates the artistic practice sense: freedom, the ability of meanings, contexts, symbols and codes amusement. It deprives the biography of ratiocentrism, excessive seriousness and contributes to the character’s profound representation. Irony is a humanistic definition focused on restoring the master’s genuine essence, though in a non-typical, occasionally frivolous form. This viewpoint renews the image and the personality’s achievements in a multifaceted, emotional, and outrageous way, as well as addresses them to the future generation of the recipients. Intertextuality is the master’s demonstration embracing the writings and semantics of the biographies accomplished by scholars of the preceding eras. A contemporary author multiplies different experiences and provides modern awareness being interpreted from the position of postmodernism paradigm. Keywords: the artist’s biography, postmodernism, pluralism, play, irony, intertextuality.

The Stage Universalism of Peter Brook's Directed Theater

The purpose of the work is to dentify the features of the artistic work of English director Peter Brook through the prism of the experimental nature of his creative studio.

His use of innovative methods of interpreting the classical Shakespearean text and the experience of avant-garde trends in European theater contributed to the formation of a new canon, representative of which were such components of theatrical performance as scenography, mise-en-scène, light score, musical design, and acting. P. Brooke's directorial works clearly represent modern culture – a network of branched symbols or interpretations, in which the director interprets the realities of the classical text, agreeing only with his own rules.

Analysis of the main trends of modern Ukrainian wartime painting and artistic parallels

The purpose of the article is to highlight the main stylistic features of modern Ukrainian fine arts of the war period in relation to the art of Ukraine of the twentieth century. The research methodology is based on the comparative analysis of the visual-plastic language of contemporary Ukrainian art, as well as the comparative-historical method, which allows us to analyze the artistic temporal parallels of the development of Ukrainian fine arts. The scientific novelty consists in the first attempt to create a holistic picture of the development of modern Ukrainian fine arts of the war period and to determine the main artistic trends in the formation. Conclusions. The war period for Ukrainian art became a milestone that separated the artistic trends of the early XXI century and stylistic features of 2022, which introduced new artistic priorities and requirements. As a result of the analysis, it is established that the main trends in the development of modern Ukrainian wartime painting can already be identified. Generally speaking, this is primarily a tendency to posterity, generalization, monumentality. Heroization of the images of the victorious pages of the past in Ukrainian history, as well as glorification of the image of Ukraine-woman, suffering, but unshakable in the fight against the enemy. The use of Ukrainian symbols in works of art - flag, coat of arms, Ukrainian ornament, etc. - acquires a new sound. An attempt was also made to structure works of modern painting in the following areas: features of graphics and posters; tendencies of folk art and neo-primitivism; signs of heroic and epic style, neorealism. Of course, this process of forming a new plastic trend in Ukrainian painting has only just begun; it develops, moves, pulsates, changes. It is happening here and now. However, despite the terrible catastrophe and its destructive action, which we are witnessing and the name of which is the war, today we can see how radical changes are taking place not only in the national context of Ukraine, but around the world. And the destiny of art is not only to reflect these global changes that we have witnessed, but also to lead society, consolidate, affirm the eternal values and ideals of humanity, national foundations and lead to victory.
 Key words: modern painting, poster, national style, neorealism, neo-primitivism, avant-garde, national symbols.

Features of the reflection of computer technologies and social networks in fiction and fantasy cinema in the XIX – early XXI centuries

The article is devoted to understanding the specific features of the reflection of computer technologies and social networks in the works of science fiction writers and in films made as part of development of the fantasy genre. In their work, the authors give a brief description of the essential aspects of the functioning of computer technologies and social networks. The article examines the degree of significance of the above phenomena for the effective development and existence of human civilization as a whole, and also analyzes the essence of social networks as a cultural phenomenon that has a significant impact on the development of social relations. This study indicates the inconsistency of the statement according to which the fantasy genre is not an essential segment of world art and demonstrates the need to take into account such works when understanding the technological development of human civilization and the evolution of relations in society towards the online mode. In this paper, the features of displaying the development of technology in science fiction literature and adventure fiction are analyzed with a comparative analysis of the difference in approaches in these two components of the fantasy genre. The study also comprehends the reasons for the lack of serious interest in displaying the analogue of social networks in fiction literature and cinema, and provides a justification for changes in this issue in the early 1980-s. This article examines the characteristic features of the dynamics of the reflection of the development of social networks in fiction literature at the end of the XX – first decades of the XXI century, taking into account changes in public relations in this period.

DEIDEOLOGIZATION AND REIDEOLOGIZATION: WORLD AND DOMESTIC EXPERIENCE

The purpose of the study. The article examines the processes of “deideologization” and “reideologization”, which had a significant impact on spiritual processes in the second half of the XX - early XXI centuries both in the West and in our country. The causes and consequences of these processes, their difference and intersection have become the object of this article. Conclusion. There are both common positions and significant differences between the processes of “deideologization” and “reideologization” in the West and in Russia. The current state of Russian society is characterized by increasing attention to the process of forming a national idea.

Game of the World différance and Ukrainian Theology: Language, Experience, Ethics, Advent

Late XX and early XXI centuries are marked by increased interest in deconstruction of Jacques Derrida, which covered with its influence almost all spheres of humanities studies, including theology. In Ukrainian theological discourse the theme of deconstruction is just beginning to be elaborated. The main purpose of the presented article is to consider the key Derridian word-notion “différance” (distinction) – the engine of deconstruction – and its influence on philosophical discourse, the central theme of which is language. The author also critically analyzes the adjacent strategies of “pure gift”, “chora” (khôra) and “unconditional hospitality” in the context of the key symbol of the Derridian corpus: a coming democracy (démocratie à venir), identified in this article with the Christian eschatological symbol “the Kingdom of God”. These strategies, developed by Derrida, aim at a gradual transformation of experience and ethics in the known structures of existence (linguistic, political, religious, social and domestic). The article concludes with an analysis of the relationship between the principles of coming democracy (represented by Derrida’s deconstructivist project and John Caputo’s “weak theology”) and Ukrainian theological thought, as well as a consideration of its possible future.
