The New Village Movement: South Korea’s Experience in Rural Development

“Modernization of the village through the modernization of consciousness” was the call of Saemaul Undong, or the “new village movement.” A government program that began in the 1970s with actions that were, at first glance, very simple, has grown into a nationwide movement that still exists in the country today. “The Spirit of Saemaul,” according to experts, has become an inspirational story for many state campaigns in which the main element is the idea of residents coming together to create a common good and prosperity.

Modernization of Consciousness as a Task and as a Problem

The article is devoted to the problem of modernizing the current Kazakhstani public and individual consciousness. It is noted that in the process of gaining state independence by Kazakhstan, such negative elements of capitalism as property relations, individualism, consumer ideology, etc. penetrated into the country. For further development, Kazakhstan needs a serious modernization of all spheres of life, including especially public and individual consciousness. It is noted that not everything that is now modern in the West is suitable for it to be included in the modernized Kazakhstani consciousness. It is noted that, on the one hand, it is necessary to inherit everything that is deeply positive that has been accumulated in the minds of the peoples living on the territory of Kazakhstan (but not just copy, to accept schematism) and synthesize it with what is acceptable among the peoples of the planet.

THE ROLE OF IDEOLOGY IN THE FORMATION OF PATRIOTISM AMONG YOUNG GENERATION

The article analyzes the consolidating and educational functions of ideology on the basis of a number of theories and concepts. The concepts of "ideology", "functions of ideology", "modernization of consciousness" are being studied. Every society, and especially a state, needs an ideology that should unite its citizens to perform specific objectives. With the development of human society, the evolution of ideologies took place, going from totalitarian and Nazi to liberal and humanistic. Ideology does not arise out of anywhere; it proceeds from the needs and prerequisites of society and depends on specific historical conditions. Especially important is the role of ideology, a unifying national idea in states that have just embarked on the path of independent development. The Republic of Kazakhstan, freed from the totalitarian Soviet ideology, badly needed the development of its own state ideology. Its role is extremely significant in a sovereign state, especially for the consolidation and spiritual modernization of Kazakhstani society. Ideology is especially important for fostering patriotic feelings among young people, who are responsible for the future of the entire country. The article focuses on the fact that such an ideology has already been formed in Kazakhstan - it is "Rukhany Zhagyru".

“What is Enlightenment?” – on the question of the anthropological foundations of Kazakh modernization

Abstract. Based on the analysis of the texts of philosophers and thinkers – remarkable figures and theorists of the Kazakh and the European Enlightenments – the article reveals some questions of philosophical and ideological foundations of modernization processes in the modern Republic of Kazakhstan. In particular, the research holds a comparative analysis of the definitions of the Enlightenment givenby Immanuel Kant in the 1784s essay “The Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment?”, on the one hand, and, on the other, by Shokan Walikhanov in his 1864s work “Judicial Reform Note.” It uses both direct author’s analysis of the texts themselves, as well as the critical analysis of Enlightenment’s theorists made in the second half of the 20th century by Western philosophers Hannah Arendt, JurgenHabermas, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida. In general, the article emphasizes the possible problem statement of Kazakh modernization, which should be considered as an object of philosophical, historical, anthropological, political and social analysis in order to clearly designating not only technical (Industry 4.0), economic (digital economy), but also axiological, ideological and theoretical framework of theprocess of modernization of the Republic of Kazakhstan (the concept of the so-called “modernization of consciousness”). Key words: European enlightenment, Kazakh enlightenment, kazakhstani modernization, modernization of consciousness, Republic of Kazakhstan, digital society, critical theory, critical philosophy, postmodernism.

FEAR AND ATLANTIC HISTORY

The history of the Atlantic necessarily encompasses a permanent dialogue with fear, but analysis of this fear is often absent from many historical discussions. Historical documentation is difficult to cite in such an analysis, as human nature often prevents people from writing of their fears. Yet the slightest pause for reflection confirms the importance of grasping the role of fear if the historical changes that accompanied the Age of Discovery are to be fully understood. Concentrating on 15–17th centuries accounts of the Cape Verde islands and Senegambia, this paper elucidates how the role of fear can be discerned through documentation and physical remains. It shows how the modernization of consciousness required by the 15th-century voyages of discovery can be interpreted as a distancing mechanism provoked by fear. Studying the physical remains of the first European settlement in the tropics, Ribeira Grande, it suggests that urban architecture betrays the multiplicity of fears felt by its early settlers. In addition, analysing the conceptual framework of navigators and settlers, it shows how familiar categories from 15th-century Iberia were subsequently applied to the newly discovered geographical spaces. The paper argues that this web of interactions stimulates thought as to the role of fear in other places and during other times. The use of alien concepts in the Cape Verde islands and the African Atlantic was pivotal in the process of dehumanization, which enabled the transatlantic slave trade to endure. Properly seen, fear created a conceptual stasis that allowed damaging and long-lasting stereotypes to develop—thereby securing for this elusive emotion a lasting place in the genesis of the contemporary Atlantic.
