// Culture and Art.
2011. ¹ 3.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to avant-garde which is
viewed as an integral system of culture with its own axiology
and its own esthetical measure. It is well understood that
the purpose of avant-garde is creation of a new cultural
continuum but not just an artwork. Avant-garde is an
important element of renovationism movement in a
universal culture. It is the art of generating and changing
forms where an artist is himself involved in transformation
of the world, turning from a subject into an object of history.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the language as one of
those cultural components which are the most apprehended
by very diverse culture beams with a very different level of
education. However, as numerous examples show, collective
stereotypes and prejudices are rather usual for famous writers,
people of art and even scientists including linguists. Collective
concepts of the world and language also need explanation
and assessment. The article compares collective concepts of
language in the two countries, Russia and Japan; regarding
Russia the article covers only Russian language speakers.
Keywords:

Formation of Humanities Knowledge in Russia:
Situation in Esthetics in the Context of Changing
Cultural Types
// Culture and Art.
2011. ¹ 3.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58265
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the revival of esthetics
at the end of 1950th. The background for such a revival
was rehabilitation of avant-garde in art at the beginning
of the 20th century not only in the Soviet Union but also all
over the world. It was particularly expressed in the spirits
of the ‘thaw’ epoch. Esthetics was aimed at overcoming
dehumanization. Discussions of this topic (which played
an important role for western existentialism) involved
early works of Karl Marx which touched upon the issue
of ‘estrangement’. Renovating esthetics demonstrated an
expansion of the utilitarian into the sphere of esthetics
which contradicted to the idea of William Morris about
estrangement of culture from society. In such a situation
esthetics of early epochs in history became very topical.
Keywords:
cultural studies, esthetics, post-culture, esthetical renaissance, dehumanization, avant-garde in art, estrangement, Mediaeval esthetics, symbolic forms of expression, Plato’s discourse.

Communist Morality in the Texts of Everyday Life
of a Soviet Detective Story at the 1960–1980th
// Culture and Art.
2011. ¹ 3.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58270
Abstract:
As a part of the Soviet mass culture and society,
literature was aimed at forming values of communist morality including simplicity and modesty of personal and everyday
life. Mass literature formed these values through positive and
negative, direct and indirect assessments of heroes and their
actions. In modern cultural studies the items of everyday life
are included in a broad understanding of a text. Certain items
of everyday life and heroes’ attitudes to these items display
an indirect assessment of heroes. Special attention to details
of everyday life which is typical for the most popular genre
– detective story – as well as the tendency of mass literature
towards ‘the truth of life’ in the middle of the 1950th makes this
genre to be an interesting source of cultural studies. The goal
of the article is to trace back how the Soviet detective story of
the 1960-1980th used texts of everyday life (clothes, footwear,
jewelry) for forming the communist morality.
Keywords:
cultural studies, communist morality, literature for general readers, detective story, text, everyday life, meaning, oppositions.

Abstract:
The author offers a summary of scientifi c
experie n ce in correlating complex category systems of
modernism and Rus sian avant-garde of the 20th century.
A new vision of the author allows to view modernism as
a general cultural phenomenon crea ted by the Western
civilization and being spread everywhere while avantgarde
is described as a mainly Russian creation. Actualization
of the latter played an important role for Russian
art and culture because it formed a culturally centered
epoch called the Silver Age.

Allegoric Portrait of the Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici
in the Image of Orpheus
// Culture and Art.
2011. ¹ 3.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58274
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of an
allegoric portrait of the Duke Cosimo I de’Medici featured
as Orpheus (artwork by Agnolo Bronzino). Being an
example of a man in love and a founder of orphism,
for Marsilio Ficino and his followers Orpheus became
a symbol of wisdom teaching people a virtuous and
beneficial to society life. The author of the article makes
a suggestion that Plato’s Symposium influenced creation
of the portrait. Florentine humanist Cosimo Bartoli is
viewed as a potential author of the iconography version
of the portrait.
Keywords:
cultural studies, Renaissance, Duke Cosimo I de’Medici, Orpheus, the Symposium by Plato, fi ne arts, humanism, neoplatonism, harmony.

The Sound of a Broken String
// Culture and Art.
2011. ¹ 3.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58275
Abstract:
This article is a topical conversation about
interpretation of A. P. Chekhov’s dram in modern world
theatre and festivals of the recent years. The article analyzes
concrete stage plays shown in 2010 in Moscow during
the International Chekhov’s Theater Festival. The author
questions whether those plays actually refl ected the main
tendencies of the global Chekhov’s theatre and were a decent
even in art. If so, then the plays shown during the festival
create a vast fi eld for polemics – not only in the sphere of
interpretation of this author in our directing practice but,
which is the most important, in the sphere of established
principles of the theatre festival policy in our country.
Keywords:
history of art, A. P. Chekhov, drama, play, inter national festival, anniversary, Moscow, interpretation, theatre life.
