Abstract:
The article analyzes the relation and interactions
between the three streams or ‘cultural layers’ in modern culture, -
world high and popular culture, national cultures (‘All-Russian
Culture’ in Russia) and particular ethnic cultures. The author of
the article describes resources which allow various cultures to keep
a decent place in a cultural range. Special attention is paid at the
Russian culture which complexity is a good example of historical
unity constantly being proved by every new generation (‘nonhomogenous
whole’ as Mikhail Bakhtin used to call it), - unity
in diversity.

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58015
Abstract:
By defining the continuum of one certain culture the
author shows how traditions, values, customs and rituals, lifestyle
and general rules of social life and behavior forming the variety
of cultures within one culture, are transformed nit he course
of a political and cultural process, how people understand or
misunderstand each other. If we view all what happens from the
point of view of culture, we can actually understand where we can
engage culture in order to influence humanity, and where we can’t
do it.

Visualization of Spiritual Travels in Chronicles
and Travel Guides of the XII–XIII century:
Hugh of Saint Victor and Matthew Paris.
// Culture and Art.

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58017
Abstract:
Visualization of a travel assumed, firstly, searching for
physically embodied traces of God in earthly things and secondly,
anagogic ascent to their spiritual content. Important role in
this process was referred to maps and travel guides. Medieval
cartography was a historical and mythological chronotopus.
Visual and verbal fragments of such maps were determined by
the topographic information of the Old and New Testaments and
the Antique geographic data which survived through the times of
Barbarian invasions.

Culture of the Present Time in Global

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58018
Abstract:
Today Time has become one of the basic categories of the
interdisciplinary discourse devoted to society and culture, their present
situation and modern transformations. The concept of the present
time culture reflects the main peculiarities of modern temporality and
a special role of time for culture and society: typical phenomena of
time and space compression and their consequences for individuals
and society; change in a status of the Present, Past and Future; forms
of time perception and how new information and communication
technologies as well as consumer culture influence them; new
civilization ‘diseases’ caused by the fuss and new stresses related to the
time perception, new threats and suggestions to resist them; influence
of changing experience and time conceptions on social life and
transpersonal relationships. In this article the present time culture
is viewed as a global phenomenon which also has a local ‘Polish’
version. The author raises a question whether it is a solely Polish or
eastern European post-communist peculiarity.

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58019
Abstract:
The article is devoted the phenomenon of a representation
which in post-modern mediatized culture became primary in
reference to reality. Knowledge and concepts of the world are
more often gathered from the universal set of representations,
the latter being built in accordance with certain laws related
to representation policy. In this article the author analyzes
peculiarities of modern literary and movie texts which are the
richest source of representations.

On the Question of Understanding What
Culture is and its Consequences for Teaching.
// Culture and Art.
2011. ¹ 1.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58020
Abstract:
The article considers the definition of culture which is
the most adequate in regard to the latest studies of human speech
activity proving that ‘speech formation’ and ‘culture formation’
are becoming practically synonymous now. It is asserted that in
the 21st century, human existence is defined by the consistency
of outcasts from niches, stratum and etc. but not the consistency
of social bonds. Under such conditions construction of one’s
personal ‘first world’ is nothing else but a construction of one’s
own individual and na ve culture. The author of the article
suggests one of the possible methods of teaching cultural studies
which would allow to master universal intellectual operations and
to focus on a personality living in an ever-changing world.

Library as a Center of Inter-Cultural
Communication.
// Culture and Art.
2011. ¹ 1.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58021
Abstract:
The model realized in a communication library
is probably the only change to teach the right behavior in a
multipolar, globalized and mosaic space of modern reality. It can be achieved if a library is aimed at satisfying real problems
and needs of its users instead of preserving the ideals of the past
epochs; if the library strives at defining and focusing on common
problems; if it tries to provide its room, information resources and
communication channels for organization of modern ‘conference
grounds’ with maximum service for a dialogue. Unlike the theatre,
‘school of life’, multicultural library is a ‘school of communication’
in the first place.

Abstract:
The article describes Taganrog as a place with a strong
historical and cultural energy (in Russian and Global historical
and cultural contexts) and Chekhov’s province as a special area
of ideas and spirits at the crossing of opinions of pre-Chekhov
and after-Chekhov Russia artists and philosophers. The author
defines A. P. Chekhov’s consolidating role for Taganrog and his
contribution to establishment and progressive dev elopement of
cultural institutions there (theatre, library and museum) as well
as the ‘feedback’ which the famous writer received when he was
alive and which Taganrog citizens felt after the writer died.

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58023
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of exposure of everyday
culture towards the other phenomenon of everyday life in a dialogue
of diverse cultural traditions. Ongoing global transformations are
so great that they influence everyday style of life, too, even though it
was thought to be one of the most conservative spheres in human life
before. Migrations are one of such important changes in the sphere
of social life. How significant are transformations in everyday
life of Moscovites caused by migration? Taking into account that
migrations to major cities are widely spread all over the world, this
topic may have a global but not only regional meaning.

History of Art as a History of Culture.

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58025
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the mutual relations which are
being formed today between a booming ‘science about culture’ and
art disciplines such as art history. Acknowledging the crisis of
modern historical science (as well as art history) as a sub subject of
natural science, the author tries to go back to historian of art Igor
Grabar’s useful methodological thesis saying that history of art is a
history of culture at the same time. According to the author of the
article, today this thesis gives certain leads for historians but also
demands a deeper insight into methodological matters.

Features of Renaissance in the Russian Culture
of Architecture and Diplomacy of Venice
of the 15th century.
// Culture and Art.
2011. ¹ 1.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58026
Abstract:
In order to start Renaissance, architecture of every
European country (except for Italy) needed a combination of the
four basic factors including, in the first place, a group of people
ready to perceive Antique forms and ideas: masters –creators,
mighty customers and thinkers which could either perceive the
philosophy of Italian or Byzantine humanism or create their
own ideology which would evolve around the Rome Empire or
Byzantium. New forms appearing during the years when the
Moscow architecture was close to Italian Renaissance of the 15th
century, was determining its development for quite a long time.

‘Free-lance Artist’ and the ‘Miracle of Art’.
Myths of Art Historians and the Problem
of Comprehension of Art Work.
// Culture and Art.
2011. ¹ 1.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58027
Abstract:
Every time we deal with art, we intuitively feel that true
artists are free in their creation activity. Expression ‘free-lance
artist’ has a mythological meaning (‘this is an indefensible and
often repeated fantasy’) and the concept of the ‘miracle of art’
contains a mythological meaning of the other kind. Suggestion
that we are strongly influenced by art just because it represents
ideas, beliefs and world view of the other epochs and cultures
seems rather doubtful. In the sphere of art we can understand and
explain many things or almost everything except for one thing:
why a master-piece is a master-piece and why it has such a powerful
influence on us, our minds and spirits. This is the only thing we
never understand about art but this is the essence of art itself.
Keywords:
cultural studies, art history, creativity, artist’s freedom, cultural stereotypes, conformism, interpretation of an art work, mythology of a creative act, spirituality, masterpieces
