Formation of the linguistic culture of the individual in the modern education system: the impact of globalization and deglobalization processes

Introduction. The modern socio-cultural situation continues to develop under the influence of globalization processes both in political, economic, socio-cultural, and linguistic-cultural aspects. However, at present there is a turn towards deglobalization, which is noted by many researchers (Yu. P. Denisov, Ya. B. Komarova, O. O. Komolov, etc.). Along with the impact on many spheres of social activity, including the education system, globalization and deglobalization processes affect the formation of a person’s linguistic culture. Purpose setting. The purpose of the article is to investigate how the influence of globalization and deglobalization processes has affected the formation of a person’s linguistic culture in the modern education system.Methodology and methods of the study. The methodological basis of the article is the analysis of research on the problems of globalization; deglobalization; formation of the linguistic culture of the individual and the influence of globalization and deglobalization processes on its formation in the system of modern education.Results. The article presents the result of the analysis of research on the phenomena of globalization and deglobalization. Definitions of the concepts of «globalization» and «deglobalization» are given, as well as various concepts of globalization, including information (network). The role of globalization and de-globalization processes in the formation of the linguistic culture of the individual in the modern education system is considered. It is noted that globalization and globalization processes have an impact on the language and linguistic culture of the individual. There is a tendency to expand the globalization processes and their impact on the phenomenon of linguistic culture of the individual.Conclusion. Globalization is interpreted in two ways: on the one hand, as a «holistic objective, philosophically grounded cultural and historical process», on the other – «as a subjectivist-ideologized action identified with Americanization/mcdonalization and Westernization». Globalization processes have a significant impact on the formation of a person’s linguistic culture, which is manifested 1) in the functioning of a large layer of English-speaking vocabulary in various languages, including Russian (English is now acting as a so-called global language); 2) the emergence of many variants of the English language (linguistic hybrids) (Runglish, Spanglish, Indlish, Cinglish, Singlish, Franglais, etc.), a kind of pseudo-languages, a hybrid of English and national; 3) the differentiated functioning of Anglo-balicisms in modern media; 4) the introduction of English-language vocabulary into various language systems, which leads to the spread of Anglo-Saxon culture (mainly American); 5) blurring the boundaries between national languages and culture. Deglobalization contributes to a turn towards the importance of national languages and culture, drawing the attention of state structures to restoring their dominant role in the process of forming a linguistic culture of an individual.

Passing through skin: technology, physicality and art

ABSTRACT Our present technological environment has removed a substantial degree of physicality from common functions. This condition had already been investigated around a century ago by Walter Benjamin, who had an ambivalent attitude toward the ‘aura’ associated with outmoded technologies. The Benjaminian discourse, which continues among academics, contains hidden insights into the psychological effect of the increasing loss of tactile experience as mechanical operations are replaced by electronic ones. The evolution of dials and switches is paradigmatic of the technological changes that parallel those in psychosomatic perception. Modern and contemporary works of art have reflected sensitivity to this socio-cultural situation and address it by linking visual experience to tactile experience. Claes Oldenburg's sculptural representation of toggle switches serves as an exemplary case.

«Следы» Шекспира в очерке Ю. Домбровского «И я бы мог...»

The research aims to identify the forms of the SHAKESPEARE concept in Yu. Dombrovsky’s essay “And I Could…”. The research is novel in that it is the first to trace the evolution of the author’s creative attitudes based on the analysis of Dombrovsky’s metapoetic text. The paper identifies signs of the emergence of the author’s new poetological attitude towards the artistic assimilation of reality, which is not amenable to logocentric understanding, but implies a multiplicity of interpretations, connected with changes in the socio-cultural situation of the last third of the 20th century. In the text of Yu. Dombrovsky’s essay “And I Could…”, this manifests itself in the consideration of the development of events related to Alexander Pushkin’s reaction to the news of the death of Tsar Alexander I and the Decembrist uprising. At the same time, the understanding of specific historical realities occurs through the lens of the SHAKESPEARE concept. As a result, it is determined that the ideological component of the essay by the realist writer is genetically connected to Hamlet’s problem of choice between suicide and life. This connection is not expressed as intertextual, but exists in the form of “traces” in which the formal and substantive attachment to the source text “is erased”; it is weakened, which is, in turn, a sign of postmodernism.

Концепція національної ідентичності в художньому світопросторі Олекси Стороженка

National identity and its portrayal in literature is a pressing issue today that demands thorough examination. This relevance arises from the current socio-cultural situation, which necessitates an understanding of Ukrainian national identity’s foundations and the influences shaping the nation’s development. This article explores the components of national identity and elucidates the concept of "national identity", examining the state of research on this issue in both global and domestic contexts. The study focuses on how Oleksa Storozhenko’s artistic heritage reflects the peculiarities of the Ukrainian nation through language, daily life, history, worldview, mentality, and the interplay of time and space. Special attention is given to his prose works written in Ukrainian, highlighting typical images of Ukrainians who embody distinct national traits. The article also examines Storozhenko’s position and his self-identification as a representative of conscious Ukrainianism.

Anton Chekhov in school and university teaching in the 2000s−2010s: discussion in the "Chekhov Herald"

The subject of the study is the features and main content of the discussion on the problems of teaching Chekhov's creativity in post-Soviet secondary and higher educational institutions presented on the pages of the information and bibliographic publication "Chekhov Herald" in the 2000s and 2010s. The problem of the need to create new educational and methodological manuals adequate to the post-Soviet socio-cultural situation, as well as the problem of spreading scientific knowledge about the life and work of A.P. Chekhov attracted the attention of leading modern Chekhov scholars, prompted them to create new educational materials, organize special conferences and, in general, to discuss this problem. The discussion allows us to judge both the latest problems and challenges of both academic Chekhov studies (and literary studies in general) and the school practice of teaching Chekhov's work and literature in general. The analysis of the materials presented on the pages of the information and bibliographic edition of the Chekhov Bulletin allows us to see the peculiarities of the dynamics of this discussion and modern Chekhov studies in general. The main conclusion of this analysis is that with the change in the socio-cultural situation from the turn of the 1990s‒2000s to the end of the 2010s, the challenges that the community of Chekhov scholars tried to answer, also changed. At the beginning of the 2000s, the appearance of new textbooks at the same time was accompanied by the problem of their inaccessibility, especially in the provinces; the widespread use of the Internet by the end of the 2000s – early 2010s partially solved this problem, but created a new one: the inaccessibility of high-quality information as the main problem was replaced by a decrease in the level of culture of reading and critical thinking among schoolchildren/students and, often, teachers, a decrease in the general cultural level leads to a widening gap between academic literary studies and school practice and an intensification of the intergenerational cultural gap, attempts by Czech scholars to influence the school study of Chekhov and Russian literature in general face the problem of unpopularity, lack of demand for scientific humanitarian knowledge in society.

The Concept of “The Third Place” in the Context of Modernising the Library Space

The aim of the article is to study the concept of “the third place” in extrapolation to the library space, and to identify peculiarities of its implementation in public libraries of Ukraine. Research methods. An analytical-synthetic, typological, systemic-structural and dialectical methods are applied, due to which the features of modernising the space of Ukrainian public libraries in the context of “the third place” paradigm are determined, modern forms and peculiarities of cultural and leisure activities corresponding to “the third place” concept are revealed, as well as a prognostic and analytical method is used, the purpose of which is to outline prospective directions of modernisation tendencies in the space of public libraries of Ukraine, taking into account the current socio-cultural situation. Scientific novelty. The process of updating the library space is studied in the context of the leading tendencies of the first decades of the 21st century. The concept of “the third place” in extrapolation to the library space is researched. The information and communication requests of modern society are analysed as a factor of transforming the traditional library space. The peculiarities of implementing the concept of “the third place” in public libraries of Ukraine are identified, as well as the trends of cultural and leisure activities of domestic libraries at the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century are clarified on the example of Odesa Regional Universal Scientific Library named after M. S. Hrushevskyi, and the Central District Library named after I. Franko (Kyiv). The prospects for the further development of leisure practices are outlined according to the positioning of the modern library, including as a place for users’ spare time. Main conclusions. One of the concepts that is actively used in the process of improving and modernising the activities of cultural institutions in general and libraries in particular is the concept of “the third place”, according to which much attention is paid to the visitors’ requests and needs. In this way, the library is positioned not only as an institution where the visitor gets the information he needs, but also as a unique meeting place where social statuses are equalised. The concept of innovative library space in the context of “the third place” paradigm includes both technical and technological, and software tools of library activity, which are primarily aimed at meeting the socio-communicative, cultural-leisure and informational needs of its visitors. Innovative libraries of the new type presented in Ukraine at the beginning of the 2020s, operating according to the concept of “the third place”, can be roughly divided into several formats: co-working library, library-cafe, library-club, library-museum, bibliohub, etc. Their main characteristics are locality, accessibility and openness for all segments of the population, comfortable atmosphere that promotes relaxed interaction, providing opportunities for cultural and leisure activities, and a variety of entertainment. In conditions of decrease in the demand for traditional library services caused by automation and digitisation of library services, Ukrainian libraries actively introduce various cultural and leisure practices into their activity, thereby expand their own functions.

Transformations of ‘traditional everyday life’ in the paradigm of modern transgressive culture

One of the most apparent specific parameters of the modern socio-cultural situation is its obvious transgressive nature. In modern humanitarian science, within the framework of the concept of "transgression" it is customary to mean the objectively existing desire of individuals, human communities and society to overcome certain norms, values and attitudes that have been once established and institutionalized and had time to become traditional. There are whole spheres of human activity whose existence, and especially their development, is simply impossible without a high degree of transgression. First of all, they include science and the arts. Although the study of cultural transgression has a long and fruitful history (including the work of such recognized authorities as Hegel, Bataille, Foucault, etc.), in the new historical realities, the problem also acquires new semantic solutions. First of all, we attribute to such innovations the acutely actualized problem of the "points of intersection" of transgressive culture and human everyday life. Such "intersections" provide many examples of a positive impact on our lives. However, the concomitant negative potential is very high here and over time it turns out to be an increasingly obvious factor of modernity.

N. V. Ustryalov’s aesthetic ant etatist patriotism

The relevance of the appeal to the concept of Homeland and patriotism by N.V. Ustryalov is determined by the similarity of the scale of cultural and political changes in the country and the world at the beginning of the 20th century and today. The concept of patriotism of the thinker was formed on the basis of an analysis of a specific socio-cultural situation and the formulation of its own definitions of categories such as "Motherland" and "state". The chosen methodology for analyzing his works combines the logical and philosophical method, the method of contextual analysis, and the method of comparative studies. As a result, it is proposed to give the concept of N.V. Ustryalov the name "aesthetic and etatist patriotism" and indicate its main provisions. Homeland is an aesthetic value, the form of existence of which, the state, combines the material and the social. Of the three components of the state, according to N.V. Ustryalov, the leading role belongs to the territory. Justifying his transition to the side of the Soviet government, the thinker points out that the actions of the Bolsheviks objectively contribute to the collection of the lands of the Russian Empire, and the national culture, including the culture of various nations, is being improved. Therefore, the Soviet state can legitimately be called a form of existence of the Motherland. Patriotism has qualities of aesthetic value, because it is truly human and aimed at affirming the beautiful, the priority of creative activity. The Ustryalov’s concept of aesthetic and etatist patriotism removes the contradiction between the high spiritual content of patriotism as a shrine and the utilitarianism of everyday tasks solved by social actors and it allows you to formulate specific criteria for people’s support for the authorities.

Myth-making as sensemaking in modern literary criticism

This article explores modern literary criticism as part of a cultural narrative, capable of constructing and structuring historical memory and creating myths. The article discovers the “plot” of successive forms of mythologization and demythologization of the past in criticism. In the 1990s, amid the collapse of the magazine circulation, nostalgic recollection of the (post) “thaw” became relevant as a myth of the “Golden Age”, which served a therapeutic function for literary criticism. The forms of nostalgia included memories of the time of youth, a return to the past, a view of it from “outside” and wistfulness for long bygone values. The 1990s were perceived as a time of crisis and catastrophe. Two decades later, criticism reversed from nostalgia to demythologization and destroyed the myth of the (post) “thaw” “Golden Age”. Mythologization is considered by the critics of the 2020s to be a dangerous way of thinking. At the same time, a tendency to build a new myth about the “golden time” is emerging: In the memories of the critics, the 1990s start losing negative associations and turn into an image symbolizing a decade of true freedom in the “Golden Age”. By creating and destroying myths, criticism tries to comprehend the modern sociocultural situation and its status. The past helps to discover the structure, order and patterns that allow understanding the present.

Klim Samgin and an encyclopaedic genius of the era. On Gorky’s God-building pursuit

Gorky’s severe and sometimes unfair criticisms (‘empty soul’) aimed at the hero of his last novel are revealed to be reflections of the writer’s adherence to empiriomonism, a philosophy that demands that an individual submit themselves to a collective genius and systemic knowledge. The article explores the precursors to the Samgin theme in Gorky’s works and the reasons the writer became attracted to A. Bogdanov’s ideas, also detailing differences in their views. The author considers the attitude of the novel’s characters to Bogdanov’s theory and the protagonist’s engagement with the dispute between ‘vperyodovtsy’ (members of the ‘Vperyod’ group, a subfaction of the Bolsheviks) and ‘vekhisty’ (followers of the ideas expressed in Landmarks [Vekhi], a collection of works by Russian liberally minded intellectuals). Gorky creates a belittling image of an individualistically-minded intellectual, portraying Samgin as a follower of the Kantian theory of genius, dismissed as obsolete by empiriomonists. The author suggests that Bogdanov’s character traits, biography and appearance make him a real-life prototype of Dmitry Samgin. A personality crisis in Gorky’s novel is also regarded in the context of the contemporary socio-cultural situation.

TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGES IN THE UKRAINIAN SOCIO-CULTURAL SPACE AT THE END OF THE XX - FIRST HALF OF THE XXI CENTURY

In the article, the author examines the transformational changes in the Ukrainian socio-cultural space of the end of the ХХ-th – the first half of the ХХІ-st century. The ХХІ-st century is characterized by great transformations not only in the economic and social context, but also in the sphere of cultural life, which is intensively developing in various directions. The author notes that Ukraine is currently experiencing a nation-state revival and the introduction of democratic values in conditions that are difficult and contradictory due to the instability and revolutionary nature of many sociopolitical and socio-economic processes that began in the 1990s and as a result of this , even to this day, the worldview and value orientations that regulate human behavior and relationships, which has a significant impact on the sociocultural situation in Ukraine, remain undefined. Global social changes, if they are systemic and related to the establishment of a new social order, are always accompanied by cultural transformations and characterized as a «reevaluation of all values». The situation became much more complicated due to the annexation of Crimea by Russia, the hybrid war in Donbas, and later the full-scale invasion of Russia on the territory of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, which became new difficult challenges for our country. According to the author, in connection with the new historical context, new conditions for the development of the sphere of culture arose, which caused the formation of a new socio-cultural situation, which is characterized by a change in socio-cultural orientation and ideals, rethinking and creation of a new hierarchy of values. The author believes that the foundations of socio-cultural development of Ukrainian society today are based on all manifestations of unique cultural and social values; development of common cultural, spiritual and educational spaces; active use of the Ukrainian language in all spheres; preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage; popularization and development of the cultural environment; ensuring maximum access to cultural properties, their preservation; stimulating investments for the development of cultural and social spheres, etc. Keywords: transformational processes, socio-cultural activity, socio-cultural development, socio-cultural policy, man, society, culture

The content of the «social literacy» concept in pedagogical theory and practice

Scientific research in recent years has documented a violation of the mechanism for the inclusion of young citizens in adulthood and the dominance of consumer attitudes among modern youth. It is quite obvious that one of the indicators of civil society is the desire of people to be its full members, responsible and capable of socially useful activities. The ongoing change in the geopolitical situation in the world has particularly acutely actualized the problem of children and adolescents developing social literacy as a special criterion for the development of society. The need to solve this issue determined the research problem, which lies in the insufficient knowledge of the content of social literacy of children and adolescents in modern pedagogical discourse and the demand for a theoretical justification of this term from the standpoint of the modern sociocultural situation. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to reveal the concept of “social literacy” in pedagogical theory and practice. The research methods used in the work are the following: analysis of teaching experience and theoretical approaches to the problem under study, synthesis, differentiation, methods of visual presentation of the data obtained. The results of the research. The content of social literacy in pedagogical scientific and scientific-methodological research has been revealed; components of social literacy have been proposed. Key conclusions: social literacy is understood as an individual’s readiness to socialize safely in the environment; possession of an interdependent set of knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as the necessary personal qualities that ensure the formation of this readiness; social literacy includes a set of interrelated components: personal, activity and reflexive, identified on the basis of systematization of axiological, environmental, competence and multi-subjective approaches.

Transformations of the family institution: from the pre-modern to the metamodern

The relevance of the stated topic is due to the modern socio-cultural situation. On the one hand, the family is the most important social institution, the state of which determines the well-being of society. On the other hand, the modern family is experiencing a crisis, which finds its expression in a decrease in fertility rates, a narrowing of family functions, a growing number of divorces, etc. The purpose of the work is to study the relationship of the family as a mechanism for ensuring the translation and reproduction of culture with the processes taking place in society. The problems of the family are considered in the context of modernization processes in the world – in the context of the transition from a traditional society to a modern one, from a pre-modern culture to a meta-modern one. The theoretical basis of the research is the works of Russian and Western authors exploring the problems of the family in a historical context. The interdisciplinary nature of the work determines the combination of socio-philosophical and cultural approaches to the problem of dynamics and possible prospects of the institution of the family. The paper examines the causes of family transformation, the consequences of the family crisis for the development of society and civilization, as well as possible options for the future of the family in connection with the changes taking place in the culture of the early 21st century. The author concludes that the fetishization of personal freedom and the spread of values of self-expression in postmodern culture contradicts the values of self-preservation of society as an integral, unique education. However, the crisis processes in the 21st century undermine the sense of existential security that was inherent in the postmodern era and caused the decline of traditional norms. In the culture of metamodernism, there is a turn towards transcendence and spirituality, which can become a turn towards traditional cultural values, including the family. And this, according to the author, is the positive significance of the modern socio-cultural crisis.

MUSICAL ENVIRONMENT IN THE CONDITIONS OF INDUSTRIAL URBANIZATION OF KAZAKHSTAN

The article is devoted to the processes of urbanization and expansion of the media space in the country, which every year give a significant impact to changing the organization and perception of Art. Culture in the new historical reality, has unlimited access to a variety of styles, genres, interpretations and manipulations with original sounds, which has never before been considered common place. These processes push aside previously available ways of perceiving art, thereby influencing the depth of meaning and perception of modern musical phenomena. The purpose of the study is to draw attention to the social and scientific need for studying types of communication activities in developed and developing countries, determined by the sociocultural situation and improving the standard of living of a person. Every act of contact between a recipient and an object of Art is unique, inimitable and individual. All over the world, the art of music - is no idea of ​​artistic influence and its manifestation in the structure of everyday life. From the point of view of musicology, responding to the relevance, issues of audiovisual distribution are a multidisciplinary problem, properly studied only in Western European and American culture. Summarizing the materials of the article, we can come to the conclusion that the industrial-urban form of life at the present stage of the domestic music industry is associated with a breakthrough in the field of mass communications and digital media, which entails certain changes in the spiritual space of a person.
