Avant-Garde as a Phenomenon of Socio-Cultural
‘Frontier’: the Paradox Since the Origination of Integrity
under the Conditions of Dominating Variety
// Culture and Art.

P. 7-25.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58402
Abstract:
The article inspired by the work ‘Avant-Garde
in Culture of the 20th Century (1900-1930): Theory. History.
Poetics’ views avant-garde from the point of view of the
‘frontier’ conception. The author of the article describes
the heuristic potential of the system approach and raises a
question about specifying the civilization ‘look’ of avantgarde.
The author concludes that as a socio-cultural
phenomenon avant-garde is global but not universal and
its archaic origins are limited to Indo-European area.
During the Þ rst three decades of the 20th century avantgarde
movement covered the closely related civilizations of
the two types: ‘classical’ Western sub-ecumene and ‘frontier’
civilizations of Russia, Latin America, Pyrenean Europe and
the Balkans. The East was, and still is, affected by the avantgarde
movement but its affect has been rather superÞ cial and
avant-garde has been more of a foreign innovation there.
Keywords:
cultural studies, avant-garde, socio-cultural ‘frontier’, dialogic approach, heuristic potential of the system approach, integrity under the conditions of dominating variety, classical Western sub-ecumene, frontier civilizations, foreign innovation, theory and history.

Petrol as a Metaphor of Culture
// Culture and Art.
2011. ¹ 4.
P. 26-30.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58403
Abstract:
Changes which has taken place in conceptions
of many phenomena lately allow us to take a new look at
the combination of words ‘petrol and culture’. Not going too
deep into details, let’s say that this connection is becoming
extremely clear after certain genetic researches explaining
the primary foundation of culture. The roots of a visual or
verbal image lie in the mechanism of speech. Metaphor,
as it is already known, is a mechanism of transfer of the
meaning, i. e. – the mechanism of speech formation and,
consequently, culture formation. It is time now to get a
cultural understanding of strategic natural resources.
Metaphor is the basic and the most profound, even though
not the only one, tool for such understanding. Does it mean
that we are facing the new stage of humanization of natural
science and thereby, new opportunities of cultural studies,
such as cultural understanding (a kind of cultural audit) of
mineral resources?

cultural studies, petrol, metaphor, culture, humanization, mineral resources, cultural audit, image, speech, potential.

Night as a Topic of Cultural Analysis
// Culture and Art.
2011. ¹ 4.
P. 36-42.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58405
Abstract:
The article reveals the issues of the study of the
night concept in modern cultural studies, philosophy and art
history. The author analyzes the scientiÞ c interpretation of
the night concept as a psychological phenomenon, natural
and culture factor of socialization of individuals and a vast
area for formation of cultural archetypes of the collective
unconscious. The author describes the consistent pattern of
interchanging historical eras (from the Primitive Age to the
Modern Age) where the day and the night types of social
consciousness prevailed. Similar interchange is projected
on the change of art style in the 17th – 20th century which
speeding up creates a basis for formation of post-modern
forms of culture and artwork and esthetic practice.
Keywords:
cultural studies, night, archetype, consciousness, sociality, chronotope, dreams, myth, cosmos, post-modernism.
