Modern Ukrainian Opera: Varieties of Genres

"The article examines the state of modern Ukrainian opera of the 21st century, which reflects European and global trends aimed at updating the genre and searching for new genre models. The authors of the article purposefully chose works by composers of almost all age categories, which are quite different in terms of genre content – interpretation of traditions and innovation – from creative youth to the most famous artists in the whole world (E. Stankovich), and consciously focused attention on examples of modern opera from several regions of Ukraine: Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa, Lviv, Dnipro. This work, dedicated to modern Ukrainian opera, combined the efforts of a practicing composer and a musicologist-scientist. After all, the material of research in one of the sections of the article was the parody comic opera by Valentina Martynyuk (Brondzia), as an example of the only opera performance in the Dnieper region. The research methodology is based on historical-typological, genre-stylistic, comparative, and analytical methods. The historical -typological method is related to the problems of the opera genre at the modern stage, which needs updating and radical changes; genre-stylistic, comparative, and analytical methods allow us to draw conclusions about the peculiarities of genre models of modern Ukrainian operas. They reflect Ukrainian national traditions, including authentic music and modern compositional techniques. It is noted that the level of the ratio of traditional and innovative appeal to the opera genre is determined by the individual creative approach of a certain composer and director. Keywords: director, double world, genre, comic, modern opera, project, simultaneous, synthesis."

The Sacred and The Secular in Dance: One Dance, Two Different Functions

The aim of this paper is to highlight the "sacred" and "secular" character of the Xesyrtos or Gikna dance in the community of Asvestades in Thrace in Greece. In particular, this paper intends to highlight the difference between the "sacred" and the "secular" and the way this dichotomy is reflected in the dance under study. Data was gathered through the ethnographic method. The sacred/secular dichotomy, as proposed in Leach's (1976) theoretical model, is used to analyze the data. Further, Laban's notation system (Hutchinson, 2005; Koutsouba, 2005), was used to record the choreographic compositions of Xesyrtos or Gikna dance, while for the analysis of their structure and form, as well as their codification, the structural-morphological and typological method of analysis was applied. Finally, for the presentation and interpretation of the data, Geertz’s model of "thick description" (2003) was adopted. From the data analysis it was found that the Xesyrtos and Gikna dances are danced in exactly the same way, but are clearly separated and demarcated based on the intentions of the community residents related to the performed function of the dance event.

UKRAINIAN HISTORIANS IN THE INTERWAR POLAND: PARTICIPATION IN INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY

The purpose of the article is to comprehensively investigate the forms and directions of international activity of Ukrainian historians of interwar Poland based on the analysis of various historiographical literature. The research methodology relies on the use of an interdisciplinary approach. Based on the principles of objectivity and historicism, the research has d the structural-functional systematic analysis of historiographical facts and the comparative-historical method. The article has used the heuristic possibilities of periodisation, classification and typology methods. The scientific novelty of the article consists in an attempt to comprehensively reconstruct the participation of Ukrainian historians of interwar Poland in international scientific cooperation. Conclusions. Despite the generally repressive cultural policies of the Polish government, Ukrainian historians in the Second Polish Republic generally adapted well to the difficult political and financial circumstances. Giving a proper response to numerous socio-political and cultural challenges, they managed to preserve the traditions formed at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Mainly traditions of international scientific cooperation and, despite constant financial problems, Ukrainian free socio-humanitarianism in foreign forums. In terms of institutions, international scientific cooperation was most actively established by the members of the Shevchenko Scientific Society and the Ukrainian Scientific Institute in Warsaw. This cultural activity gained special national importance in the 1930s of the 20th century, when Ukrainian socio-humanitarianism was subjected to devastating repression under the Soviet occupation. In general, in the conditions of stateless existence at the time, the international scientific cooperation developed by Ukrainian historians in the Second Polish Republic was a kind of cultural diplomacy, realizing the important task of establishing the political subjectivity of Ukrainians.

English media discourse of the early 21st Century: Lexical innovations

The emergence of a new kind of discourse on the world stage called media discourse or media discourse produces the trends of globalization and the development of communication technologies in the world. The article deals with the phenomenon of English-language media discourse as a relatively new linguistic phenomenon. The aim of this research work is a thorough analysis of the concept of English-language media discourse, reflecting the dynamics of modern language and identifying the features of lexical innovations in English-language media discourse. The comparative analysis method, typological method, method of component analysis, and descriptive method of research were used to study the issue of English-language media discourse. Using the comparative analysis method, the saturation of linguistic innovations and their prevalence were determined. Using the typological method, the common qualities of English and Ukrainian in the projection on their variety of linguistic characteristics were established. The method of component analysis helped in the study of the content part of the newly formed linguistic units. Using the descriptive method, the modern state of English-language media discourse was characterized. As a result of the scientific research trends of modern English-language media discourse in content and form have been studied and analyzed, as well as changes in the potential of modern linguistic means through the mechanism of new word formation, which is a prospect for further scientific research in this direction.

ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ ЭТНОГРАФОМ В.А. ФАЛЕЕВОЙ КРЕСТЬЯНСКОГО НАРОДНОГО КОСТЮМА В ПЕРИОД С 1965 – 1971 ГГ.

The article pays special attention to the clothing of the peasant population in the second half of the XIX – first half of the XX centuries on the territory of the Ryazan and Orel provinces. Many aspects that relate to the traditional costume of the Bryansk and Ryazan regions remain undisclosed today. The study allows us to trace the study of ethnographic material, which is extremely relevant for individual territories. The uniqueness of this work lies in basing the material on the personal correspondence of two ethnographers who made expeditions to the above-mentioned areas at different times. These ethnographic studies do not contradict, but complement each other, which makes it possible to create a more complete description and analysis of the peasant costume complex. The fund R-6710 of the State Archive of the Ryazan Region (GARO) has not previously been marked by the attention of researchers and is being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. In the course of the research, the method of content analysis was used, as well as the method of comparison when studying the material delivered by N.I. Lebedeva in the 1920s. In the course of the work, a typological method was used. As a result, it was concluded that this source is important due to its informative nature. The letters reveal personal issues and can serve as important materials to fill in the blank spots in the biography of researchers. As a result of the work, it is possible to reconstruct the appearance of the peasants of the Bryansk and Ryazan regions in the first half of the XX century.

Modern forest climatopes and forest typological zoning of the northern part of European Russia

The article considers the current problem of modern scheme of Russia forest zoning designing and methods of forest typological assessment of forest climatopes and forest typological zoning. For the northern part of European Russia at the beginning of the XXI century, the climates of forest thermotopes, contrastotopes and hygrotopes, their spatial distribution, geographical stretching and zoning has been determined by classical forest typological methods. It has been ascertained four zones of forest climatopes, four zones of continentality (zones of forest contrastotopes), one of that has separate semienclave from the White and Barents Seas, and five zones of forest hygrotopes (one of that is disjunctive). A new, previously undescribed climate of the contrastotop of the mild (seaside) forest climate has been identified, requiring an assessment of the forest-growing effect. It has been established that the modern zones of forest thermo-, contrast- and hygrotopes have a different nature of geographical extent, and modern boundaries of zones have characterized by dynamical mobility and indefinite form in most cases, especially boundaries of forest hygrotopes climate zones. The modern forest typological zoning of the northern part of European Russia is proposed according to three equivalent climatic regimes and it has established forest typological regions with maximal area. In connection with complicate of boundaries of zones character it is established that the greatest diversity of forest typological areas are between boundaries of thermotopes and hygrotopes climate zones and from White and Barents Seas and Ural Mountains. The question is raised about the assessment of the actual existence of some selected local forest typological areas as geographical ecotones.

Modern forest climatopes and forest typological zoning of the southern part of the plain territory of European Russia

The paper considers the current status of forest typology in Russia and methods of forest typological assessment of forest climatopes and forest typological zoning. For the southern part of the plain territory of European Russia at the beginning of the 21st century, the climates of forest thermotopes, contrastotopes and hygrotopes, their spatial distribution, latitudinal and meridional stretching and zoning were determined by classical forest typological methods. Five zone of forest climatopes (three of them have latitudinal zoning), nine zone of forest hygrotopes and six zone of continentality (zones of forest contrastotopes) have been ascertained. A new, previously undescribed climate of the contrastotop of the mild (seaside) forest climate has been identified, requiring an assessment of the forest-growing effect. It has been established that the modern zones of forest thermo-, contrast- and hygrotopes have a different nature of geographical extent, and the zones of climates of hygrotopes advance the zones of thermotopes, thus forest typological zoning and allocation of forest typological areas are proposed according to three equivalent climatic regimes. The modern forest typological zoning of the southern part of plain territory of European Russia is proposed, it is established that the Krasnodar Krai and the Orenburg Region are characterized by the greatest diversity of forest typological areas. The question is raised about the assessment of the actual existence of some selected local forest typological areas as geographical ecotones.

As the methods of research methods of a comprehensive approach, implementation of the cultural-historical approach, typological method, functional method, the method of structural analysis are used.

Methodology for determining the suitability of soils for afforestation in plain part of Ukraine

Purpose. To develop a methodology for assessing forest suitability for certain varieties of unproductive soils. Methods. There are used the classical methods of soil science, agrochemistry, forest science, forest management, typology and mathematical statistics. Results. The principles of forest typology are the basis for determining the suitability of soils for forestation. Its essence lies in a comprehensive study of soil properties (soil morphometry, chemical composition) and forestry characteristics of forest stands, as well as an analysis of the grass-shrub layer by ecomorphs. The results of studies of the combined study of the productivity of forest stands and the properties of the main varieties of unproductive soils (sandy, eroded and skeletal) in different natural zones of the plain part of Ukraine are presented. Determination of the suitability of soils for forestation was assessed according to three categories: 1) unsuitable for forestation and conditionally suitable for forestation (very dry, very poor, toxic, with a limited rhizosphere zone, inaccessible or hardly accessible for cultivation); 2) limited suitability for forestation (dry and poor soils); 3) suitable for forestation. Packages of markers have been developed, on the basis of which it is possible to assess both their forest suitability and determine the type of forest growth conditions of non-forest lands. When compiling markers, preference was given to such soil indicators, which, along with informativeness in relation to soil quality, did not require complex methods of determination. The composition of markers includes morphological, physical, agrochemical parameters and depends on the type of soil. Conclusions. The developed packages of markers are the basis for the scientifically based creation of forests on unproductive lands, on which forest vegetation did not grow before. Their use in afforestation increases its efficiency and makes forests more resistant to adverse environmental factors. The Methodology is intended for forestry specialists, it can be used at enterprises, institutions of the forest sector, forest design organizations, as well as in related industries concerned with the protection and rational use of natural resources. The methodological developments can be included in the curricula of secondary and higher forestry-oriented education institutions.

СЮЖЕТНАЯ СТРУКТУРА РОМАНТИЧЕСКОГО ФЭНТЕЗИ (НА МАТЕРИАЛЕ РОМАНОВ О ПОПАДАНЦАХ)

The article examines the specifics of the plot structure of the romfant’s works based on the material of three novels: “Trapped in the Academy of Dragons” by Lyubov Svadbina, “The Chosen One of the Storm” by Olga Pashnina and “Trapped with a Light” by Elena Schastina. Special attention is paid to the analysis of texts based on the structural and typological method developed by V.Y. Propp in his work “Morphology of a fairy tale”. The works are considered from the point of view of formality and modality, which to some extent correspond to the structure of a fairy tale and its main functions described by Propp.

Hierarchical Metamodel of Communication in the Experience of Resacralization of Spiritual Practics

This article highlights the view of conceptual advertising as a process of Resacralization of Spiritual Practices (RSP). To analyze the empirical material, the authors propose using a Hierarchical Metamodel of Communication.
 In the context of the growth of intangible production, both the advertised product and the advertising product itself are undergoing transformation. To study the patterns of dissemination of ideas (non-material products of culture) based on a Hierarchical Metamodel of Communication, RSP is considered as a Method of Conceptual Advertising (MCA). The authors illustrate this through the values and principles of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (ROC), introducing the concept of Orthodox Resacralization of Spiritual Practices (ORSP). The paper analyzes a small amount of empirical material, — the minimum necessary to demonstrate the validity of the proposed theoretical model. The author’s interdisciplinary approach is based on subordinating qualitative methods of the sociology of culture and analytical and semiotic methods to general scientific methods of comparison and typology. As a result, the article reveals the prospects for methodological enrichment of the theory of advertising and PR, as well as the pragmatic metamodel of communication of the relational theory of communication.
 The authors propose uniting the efforts of theorists and practitioners of advertising and PR, experts in the fields of social and intercultural communication, as well as theologians and researchers of religions, to analyze the applicability of the proposed theoretical model in various cultural locations.

The role of maternal emotional attitude in the development of self-consistency in over-fives children

The results of the study of the influence of the characteristics of the emotional side of parent-child interaction on the development of independence in children of senior preschool age are presented in the article. The theoretical foundations of the research problem are described. The autonomy of senior preschool children is considered as an integrative characteristic of the personality, which has emotional-motivational, volitional and cognitive components in its structure. The results of multiple regression and correlation analyses of the relationship between the indicators of emotional parental attitude and autonomy of senior preschool children are given. 99 mothers and 102 children aged 5 years 7 months to 7 years 5 months. 38 boys and 64 girls took part in the study. We used methods such as the questionnaire of child-parent emotional interaction, the projective method of typology of subjective regulation of the child for diagnostics of the level of "autonomy-dependence" in 5- to 7-year-old preschool children; the adapted subtest "Understanding", the initiative manifestation map. It is revealed that the characteristics of emotional parent-child interaction influence the components of children's autonomy differently; they can simultaneously promote the development of one component and hinder the formation of the other one.

Civil-legal control in the law of Ukraine

Based on the current legislation, the article examines the theoretical foundations of civil-legal control in the law of Ukraine using general scientific methods of knowledge, such as systematic, complex and comparative analysis, methods of typology and classification, historical-legal, formal-legal, comparative jurisprudence. With the help of an interdisciplinary method, the general concept of control examined through the legal category of subjective law, which reveals the essence of control regardless of the scope of control processes. This position determined by the fact that control consists in restraining and directing free actions carried out by participants in social relations. Considered usually as a management function, control in the field of civil legal relations, like any other category analyzed from private legal positions, acquires a number of features characteristic of civil law institutions. The essence of control in the civil law sense is the ability of the subject of civil relations to influence contractual activity. It is noted that civil legal control is based on a set of subjective rights of a participant in civil legal relations. Civil-law control plays a special, dual role in the structure of contractual relations, being its object and constituting at the same time the content of civil legal relations, expressed in the set of basic and derivative rights arising from the fact of participation in contractual relations of an organizational and property nature. The specified classification makes it possible to clarify the terminology of civil law in this area and to operate with universal categories during the analysis of the specifics of the manifestation of civil-law control, which makes it possible to reach a higher level of generalization. As part of considering the issue of legal forms of the dynamics of civil-legal control, those forms that mediate the movement, change of existing civil relations and the emergence of new ones, i.e. implementation and protection of civil-legal control, are highlighted. The obtained research results make it possible to form legal foundations in the field of civil-law regulation of control for further improvement of civil legislation.

Features of Mass Speech Culture in Social Networks

The purpose of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of speech and behavioural stereotypes of mass speech culture in social networks. The research methodology. The typological method is applied, which has contributed to identification of the peculiarities of mass speech culture development in social networks. The method of systemic analysis and synthesis, the descriptive method and the method of cultural analysis have enabled the consideration of social networks in the context of the modern media space, with their inherent originality. The scientific novelty. Peculiarities of the speech culture in social networks are studied; the specifics of Internet communication as a unique means of global communications are considered; the peculiarities of influence of the language of Internet communications on the development of modern mass speech culture are revealed. Conclusions. Internet slang produced by users has now become widespread in the general consumer vocabulary, and the game conditions of the virtual space contribute to the approach of communication to the game, which at the level of mass speech culture is manifested in the tendency to the manner of spoken language even on serious websites. The study has found that media texts of social networks, due to a unique combination of verbal and visual expressiveness, have a tangible impact on the user. The analysis of contemporary content of social networks confirms the trend of depopularisation of diminutives (diminutive nouns), transfer of foreign (primarily English) words and phrases in Ukrainian graphics, integration of foreign vocabulary into the media text in the form of barbarisms, introduction of elements of thieves' slang, computer jargon, and specific Internet vocabulary in media texts (as a stylistic game), manifestation of original humour in accordance with personal speech qualifications.

The Apple as an Object and Subject of the Image
 (on the Question of Studying the Phenomenon in Poetic Speech

In the article the apple acts as a semiotic code containing significant cultural meanings that speak of universal gravity: the biblical story of Adam and Eve echoes the story of Newtonian discovery. Also, using some specific texts of poets of the
 XX–XXI centuries in their historical and cultural dynamics (G. Semenov, E. Kasyan, V. Polozkova), the interaction of the image of the apple with such levels of the work as the symbolic system, the image of the hero is investigated. The invariant presence of
 the apple in people's lives is solved individually in each of the poetic testimonies. The dialogical relations between man and apple are cannot be ignored: each of the poets
 depicts them from a special angle. Thanks to the comparative typological method, it became possible to identify common and variable properties of the image.
 As for the degree of elaboration of this image in Russian literature, it is necessary to note here a very wide range of issues related to the hero's attitude to the apple, which are subjected to poetic – not scientific analysis. Directly or indirectly, seriously or ironically, the image of the apple is interpreted more and more often by poets, but not by literary critics.
 The relevance of the work is due to the fact that its topic is at the intersection of very extensive cultural spheres currently being developed by modern humanities. Secondly, this study is directly related to such a theoretical problem as an ambiguous
 approach to the selection of a lyrical subject and object in a poetic text.
 The methodology of the research is based on the classical works of Russian scientists devoted to the immanent analysis of the poetic text.

ЦИФРОВАЯ ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЯ СОЦИАЛЬНО-ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКИХ СИСТЕМ КАК КОНЕЧНЫЙ РЕЗУЛЬТАТ ПРОЦЕССА ЦИФРОВИЗАЦИИ

The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the interpretations of concepts related to the process of introducing information technologies and systems, namely: “informatization”, “digitalization” and “digital transformation”. A critical assessment of various approaches to the definitions of the above terms is given. The relevance of the study is confirmed by the fact that despite the rapid penetration of information and communication technologies into all spheres of human life and activity, the metho¬dological base in this area of research is still insufficiently developed, especially in terms of terminology. As a result, there is chaos in the interpretation of concepts and their not quite correct use. The purpose of the work. The study is aimed at systematizing approaches to the definition of the concepts of “informatization”, “digitalization” and “digital transformation”, differentiating these terms and clarifying their interpretations. Materials and methods. In the process of writing the article, general scientific me¬thods and research techniques were involved: a descriptive method, a comparison method, an analogy method, a historical method, a structural-functional method, methods of generalization and typology, as well as a systematic approach. The study was based on the materials of domestic annual statistical observations in the field of assessing the level of development and implementation of information technologies, as well as the results of rating countries in terms of the level of development of these technologies, conduc¬ted by the largest foreign consulting companies, agencies and research centers, studied various methodolo¬gical materials and theoretical overviews. articles on the research topic in order to generalize and systematize them. Results. The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of a number of terms related to the process of introducing digital technologies, their differentiation is carried out, the main features and characteristics of each of them are established. Definitions of the clarifying nature of the following concepts are given: “informatization”, “digitalization” and “digital transformation”. Informatization, digitization, automation, digitalization and digital transformation are proposed to be considered as successive meaningful stages in the process of introducing information systems and technologies. At the same time, the digital transformation of socio-economic systems is considered as the final desired result of the digitalization process, in which a qualitative leap (breakthrough) is observed in the development of the socio-economic system and most of the most important processes (business processes) are rethought and restructured. Such qualitative transformations lead to a change in the business model, affecting all elements of the system. Conclusion. The advantage of the approach proposed in the framework of this study is that all the above terms are considered here not in isolation, but in interconnection, being part of a general process, reflecting the essence and content of such a complex and ambiguous phenomenon as digital transformation.

Types of Texts in Teaching French as a Foreign Language

The article aims to present the typology of texts to be studied in the course of French as a foreign language. The relevance of the research is due to the insufficient development of a general typology of texts, the variability of the composition of typologies offered by French-speaking linguists and methodologists, as well as the terminological disorder of the names of the types of texts included in them. The article deals with the main typologies of texts, developed in French linguistics, then with the typologies based on them, used in French lingua-didactics. Then a personal structural and pragmatic typology of texts in French, containing 13 types of texts with their main characteristics and a number of examples, is presented. The methods of observation, comparison, description, interpretation, analysis, synthesis and typology were used in the study. The practical value of the study lies in the possibility of applying the developed typology of texts in teaching French as a foreign language at different levels and stages of learning.

Evolution of the views on the Moon in Arab-speaking Medieval society

For decades, some branches of medieval Muslim cosmology, including astrology, were considered insufficiently academic, and commonly they received less attention than they worth, as a result, entire scientific layers turned out to be not much studied. Within the framework of this study, the authors attempted to highlight one of the aspects of the cosmological system - the approaches of scientists of the Arab-Muslim world to the Moon - covering various traditions, regions, eras (within the “classical” period of development of Islamic medieval science). On the basis of seven treatises and comparative typological methods, the features of both the “academic” (astronomy) and “mystical” (astrology) schools were revealed, and an attempt was made to combine the features of both of them within a single system. Despite the fact that, as seems, astrology should involve a wide variety of approaches and solutions, the authors managed to show that the Moon is found only among astronomers as an independent and valuable object of research. At the same time, aspects of its consideration and methods of scientific description vary widely. Astrological science assumed the use of the Moon only as a tool in the construction of tables and systems, and over the centuries has undergone little change. Of particular interest in the study was the appeal to the work of Abu al-Abbas alFarghani (IX cent.) and Abdul-Hasan al-Isfahani (XIV cent.), little known to the Russian reader.
