Этнокультурные контакты русских с коренными малочисленными народами Севера (XVII–XX вв.): музыкально-хореографический аспект

The study deals with the historical and cultural ties of Russians with indigenous peoples of the North. Basing on the actualization, structure and identification of elements of traditional values, the author highlights regional features appealing to musical and choreographic creativity. Due to adoption of the civilizational approach in explaining historical reality, this direction turns out to be the most promising.

A higher level of Russian culture, in terms of stages development, turned out to be dominant in the system of ethno-cultural communications. The paper shows that under the influence of Russian culture, musical and choreographic creativity of the indigenous peoples of the region has enriched and proved itself significantly, and has become known to many countries and peoples of the world.

Khalifa Al-Yazia's "The mango tree": tree of life archetype

The subject of the study is the "world tree" concept, coined by the young writer from the United Arab Emirates, Al-Yazia Khalifa, “The Mango Tree” (2021). The authors are interested in this symbol interpretation. Using the example of an Arab family, the artist creates a picture of the quiet and measured life of Arabs in the province of al-Ain. Through the eyes of a little girl, she describes one sultry day spent in the house of her beloved grandmother, in whose yard a magnificent mango grows. The aspects of life of a large Emirati family are depicted - work, prayer, and meals. The methods of historical and systemic analysis allow the authors to prove that the mango tree is a symbol of the cycle of life continuity. A seed planted in the ground becomes a sprout of hope for a bright future and faith in the inviolability of the traditional family way of life. Cicadas chirping on a tree are the embodiment of the element of air. The fish that family members eat at dinner symbolize water, while cats in the yard represent fire. In the game, the heroine tames four natural elements, beating her fears. Thanks to the fragrant and juicy “king of fruits,” an atmosphere of comfort, prosperity and harmony is created in which several generations of the family grew up. That is why the little girl would not break away from their native roots and would follow their parents’ measured pattern of life.

Социокультурные особенности проблемы домашнего насилия в России

The severity of domestic violence in Russia is due to the attitude of the population and the government to the problem. Its emergence is due to the presence of a large number of socio-cultural features of the Russian peo-ple, determined by their worldview and way of thinking, based on the patriarchal way of family life, lack of re-spect for women, traditionally negative attitude towards divorce.

Violence against elderly citizens and children is also raised in the article. In addition, it is noted that the socio-cultural characteristics of the Rus-sian people can be considered as the main reason for the facts of violence in the domestic environment.

Социокультурный потенциал сельского образа жизни с позиций новых цивилизационных отношений: взгляд из Сибири

The research interest in the rural lifestyle is due to several trends. On the one hand, it is the deepening depopulation of rural areas and the growth of crisis phenomena. On the other hand, there is a trend of deurbanization, which it is legitimate to consider not only as a temporary consequence of the pandemic situation, but as an aspect of the formation of fundamentally new civilizational relations, the need for which is stated both internationally and at the Russian level. Thus, the reports of the Club of Rome argue for the inevitability of the transition to a new paradigm of development. In the Russian scientific and philosophical literature, one of the alternative civilizational models has been called noospheric or spiritual-ecological, which should replace the prevailing technogenic-consumer model today. At the same time, the values and attitudes that dominate today are criticized first of all, and a return to a number of basic traditional values, preserved, in particular, in the rural way of life, is asserted at a new level. The purpose of the study is divided into three main ones: to isolate the basic values and socio-cultural traditions of the Russian and, above all, the Siberian peasantry, which correspond to the spiritual and ecological civilizational relations; to identify the degree of prevalence of these values in the modern youth environment of Siberia; to give a general assessment of what is happening and offer their recommendations. As a result of the conducted survey of students of agricultural universities in Siberia, it was noted that the key socio-cultural attitudes and values of the rural lifestyle, namely: nature centrism, hard work, the dominance of direct human communication and mutual assistance, nepotism and the continuity of generations have largely been preserved. The rural way of life still retains its deep potential for the reproduction of the cultural, social and family way of life. But at the same time, it is actively undergoing destruction and transformation, which requires the adoption of appropriate socio-economic measures and infrastructural transformations, taking into account global trends in the development of a “smart village”. A significant role in realizing this potential is assigned to young people, namely graduates of agricultural universities as future professionals in the field of agriculture. The methodology of the research was based theoretically, firstly, on a detailed and multidimensional critique of modern civilization, presented in the works of many authors (the Frankfurt School, E. Fromm, the works of the Club of Rome, etc.); secondly, on studies of the state of modern rural areas, in particular in Siberia. Sociological methods such as questionnaires and express surveys were used as empirical methods.

Demographic and Family Policies as a Part of Contemporary Social Policy: Theoretical Approaches, Goals, Implementation Mechanisms and Performance Assessment (Part 2)

Despite the long history of implementation of demographic policy, there is no consensus on its results. The principles and criteria for evaluating the results are discussed in great detail in the literature, but opinions differ greatly with regard to the domestic policy. Nevertheless, experts assess the results as low, because despite the success of certain years stable natural population growth has not been achieved. The results of family policy are also low, since the poverty of families with children is very high, and the family crisis has not been overcome. The article examines some of the benefits of demographic and family policy, which are aimed at helping young families and families with children. It is noted that the benefits in general do not fulfill their function, because they are small enough to make a noticeable contribution to the family budget, or do not provide a standard of living even at the level of the subsistence minimum. It is shown that, in general, the more economically developed a region is, the more opportunities it has to implement more active policies, although the relationship between the level of economic development and the amount of assistance to families with children is not always direct. However, the differences between the regions are significant. It is concluded that other measures of assistance to families with children need to be considered in more detail, and that regional measures of assistance to families need to be monitored regularly. It is necessary to increase funding for demographic and family policy measures and to modernize the system of benefits. It is also necessary to strengthen family policy measures aimed at creating the need for a family way of life and for several children in the family. This article is the second part of the study. The first part examined the goals, functions, and approaches to demographic and family policies (see Journal Issue No. 1, 2022).
