Abstract: This study analyzes the mechanisms of generation and subsequent dissemination in the social space of modern society of emotions that accompany those individual acts of acquiring goods and services, which, in turn, themselves become the object of constant manipulation by the marketing services of the sellers of these products. Particular attention is paid to the philosophical, cultural and psychological features of the implementation of specific mechanisms for manipulating individual motivation, perception, consciousness of a potential consumer. In addition, the conclusions of the study analyze the special role of emotional accompaniment of a buyer who has committed an act of acquiring something, which allows you to effectively implement established marketing strategies and techniques throughout the entire society of mass consumption, by organizing control over the targeted dissemination of information about emotional states that arise in the process of consumption at the individual level. Manipulation of the motivation, perception and consciousness of the buyer occurs mainly through emotions. In order for the manipulation process to be effective, motivation and rationalization of consumer behavior must be generated in society massively and on an ongoing basis. An experienced manipulator has the skills to read the emotions of the buyer, based on the assessment of which, then he purposefully creates the illusion of a common interest, preferences, lifestyle for the buyer. The manipulator knows that it is not so much the product itself that is being bought, as the ritual of its acquisition entirely together with the entire palette of emotions inherent in it.

Abstract: The article examines the features that characterize media culture in recent decades: emotionality, anonymity, the need for "detente" and compassion. It is proved that the mechanisms of the media environment determine the popularization and dramatization of the information flow. Using the example of the role of hayter, it is shown how the conflict between taboo emotion and the need to speak out leads to socially disapproved behavior; the role of the troll is also actualized in a socio-psychological context. The article considers the emotionality of modern media culture as its integral component. Its products are a large number of neologisms–memes related to emotions, degrading forums and the fight against offensive content from corporations. Anonymity is considered as a possible reason for the decrease in empathy, dehumanization and deindividualization of the user. It is the popularity of this opportunity in the last decade that allows us to talk about a new social demand for security and freedom of expression; the reverse side of the latter is harassment, offensive statements and victims of Internet hatred among marginalized groups of the population. Using Ten van Dyck's discursive analysis of the mass media, we show that a low threshold for entering the media space does not guarantee the undermining of the status quo at all: on the contrary, the low importance of the cognitive element popularizes rumors and conspiracy theories, often confirming arguments of intolerance and xenophobia.

Abstract: This article analyzes and explores the historical sociogenesis of replacing the former disciplinary socialization with hedonistic personalization within the cultural space of modern society – its causes, implementation mechanisms and consequences, which also include the emergence of the cult of pleasure. Particular attention is paid to the study of the emotional aspects and mechanisms of influence of the culture of hedonism on the common cultural space, attempts are being made to force its emotionalization and restructuring. In the conclusions of the study, the reasons for the emergence of the phenomena of emotional utilitarianism and the consumerization of emotions, their transformation into an object of exchange relations, into a commodity that can be sold along with anything material, are noted related to these trends. In conclusion, the pathopsychology of excessive emotional manifestations, which causes the emergence of a state of pathological anhedonia, is analyzed, particular manifestations of this phenomenon are considered, and a comprehensive assessment is given to them. Under the influence of Western culture, the axiology of Russian culture was subjected to a radical revision, during which hedonistic personalization began to actively displace disciplinary socialization.
The subculture of domestic "orthodox hedonists" has had and continues to have a very noticeable impact on the overall cultural situation. The main goal of the adherents of hedonism is to transform the entire emotional universe of modern society in such a way that emotions associated with pleasure and entertainment form its core, shifting everything else from the center to the periphery. The social causes of modern anhedonia are associated with an overabundance of strong and artificially stimulated emotions, to protect against which internal barrier mechanisms are activated in the human brain.
